that's cause you send your kits in pieces :P

It looks like they did a good job with the skin and face paint app. I still think the grey was a bad choice for the fur and such. If they decide to release this piece as a garage kit, I think we will see some epic presentations from people.

Face paint looks very amateurish.

Oh do I give you the impression I would ever be a maybe to an ARH statue?
If so, I will clarify. I love the original Medusa (regular and rattlesnake), I think the Arkhalla 1/3 Seduction is gorgeous, but everything else gets a huge pass from me.

No I know you haven't and wouldn't buy an ARH statue, just hacking on you.

So just a little update on this piece and my replacement. I spoke with Arahom, they are replacing this piece as a whole. (In roughly 10 days or so) Also, he mentioned that the casting of smaller seperate pieces has proven problematic and time consuming. They are going to cast larger pieces versus the smaller parts.
I also mentioned the painting of the joints as you guys pointed out and he agreed that was something they wont do anymore.
All in all was a informative conversation and i have to say ARH is going out of their way to help on this replacement.
