She looks sort of shiny.

Does anyone know if she is of the same material as the older version?

Gotta say, I prefer the original. I like the colors better and the paint on the new one definitely has more shine to it than the original. It's one of my favorite statues ever, so I'd be more than happy with either, but just prefer the more subtle look of the first. Glad they made a second version so everyone who missed out on the first had a chance to get one.

Congrats on the new version and everyone who got it!!!
I own the NYCC ex Version which is almost the same as this new one. I haven't taken pictures of the one I own to compare. I do notice a slight variation in the Skin Tone, @trav99ss I have to agree that there seems to be a "shine" with the new one. My personal preference is a more subtle finish. I would have to see the new one in person to get a better perspective. I say this because i received the Arkhalla Fight and I'm not totally happy with the finish of the skin tone, It definitely has that "satin shine" to it that takes away something at the look. Again my personal preference, i likea Flat or a most an "Eggshell" finish. It does certainly has to do with the factory they used. In the past all my ARH Statues ( i own 8 ) at most FLAT or EGGSHELL finishes, none as shiney as the Arkhalla Fight, so im guessing they may have used another vendor. But its all good Arkhalla Hell Fire and the OG Arkhalla is a keeper!

Totally agree with this. I feel the same about Arkhalla Fight. I do really like the statue, but wish it had the flat finish of the other ARH statues I have.

Mask off the metallic areas with liquid latex and hit it with a can of dull coat.

Beautiful

Well I just received her and she isn't shiny like in punishers pictures. She looks great. I would only comment that there is a bit much shading to her, but still looks great.

I had my husband help me with her since she came in such a huge box. A box within a box within another box. That BBTS sure knows how to package.

Also one must be careful about inserting her hair into her head, due to it leaving black skid marks on her body. This also applies to the clothing parts. She is also HEAVY!!

BTW, the comics are only sent if you purchase directly from ARH's website?
