I got mine in today. For the most part I am happy with her. One or two imperfections that are not really noticeable unless you really look so I can live with that. My only issue with the paint is the snake heads. It's obvious whom ever painted the snakes did not do her portrait. Looks like a child painted them. Also I bought the NYCC edition that was limited to 100. Well I got statue 107 of 200. The COA says 17 of 100. Whatever, in all I am happy with the statue. This is my first ARH statues but I will say that I am still on the fence with this company. Moving forward I will use caution. The COA and edition discrepancies bother me. Don't get me wrong I loved this statue ever since I saw it at NYCC but I feel that ARH did not completely keep thier end of the deal.

My COA say #22 of 100 as does the base. The only thing that I don't like is the execution of the shield. Packing was great with double box and the corner suspenders. The foam did not crumble much either.

Congrats, wolf. Looks great overall.
Sounds like a lazy solution on the shield. A rubber band? Really? That's the best they could do?
As far as the paint, I'm pretty annoyed that the snake eyes aren't painted. Another thing I've noticed from every pic I've seen is her belt is painted black instead of gold like the proto. Wonder what happened there?

Thanks Val!
The rubber band really threw me for a loop. Lol. Just put a flaming magnet there for Petes sake.
You're right about the belt. It would look better with the gold imo. Yeah all the snakes eyes are green. I would have liked to have a little white in them.

Overall, they're minor things but I have to wonder if Arahom even saw a production sample of this. No snake eyes painted and the belt is the wrong color? Seems like something he should have noticed before giving the factory the green light.
Still a great looking piece but for that kind of money, I expect all those details to be there.

Thanks Great. Very happy with her on the shelf. Just waiting for Poseidon now. 
Nothing like retiring to the display room especially when there is BS to get away from.

I'm curious who has ever seen a snake with white eyes.... Clearly no one knows their snakes. They are usually a different shade than the skin, though.
