I like the Queen of the Damned-inspired headdress. The base is a bit small for the figure. I think the steps could have been twice as wide as they are considering she couldn't fit that fat ass down a corridor that tight. I also think the costume could use a bit more 'pop' in the color dept. She's pretty stark, and the muted colors of the outfit don't help that.

I agree on the color part. I was kind of shocked that the top and skirt aren't really even black, they're just dark gray. There's no shine, no satin effect, just matte dark gray.

Apart from the Medusa ARH stuff is pretty boring looking. This one included. There is just nothing memorable about it at all. Just my opinion.

I agree with you. I do love the Medusa, but I also think a lot of the statues are very dull.

I was excited to see that winged Angel of Darkness though, but it may be scrapped since it's been forever since anything was mentioned.

I agree that the paint apps are lacking on this piece. I think the eyes should definitely be repainted.

They seem to do generic character designs due to not having any licenses.

I am glad to know I am not the only one that thinks there was potential lost with this piece.

You all should check out the video review by Arahom on this and the Valkryie statues. Not saying it will or should change anyone's mind but you can get a better look at how it looks in person. The paints are very well done, and not as muted as the picture I don't think.

Im not too big on the Cleopatra or Pocahontas, but the Athena is the first statue I purchased from ARH and I can say it is EASILY one of the best female statues (as a total composition) I have ever seen.

Where is this video? Do you have a link? Just Vamp Queen, don't care about Valkyrie.
