Also, on her mask, there seem to be some bubbles or creases. Is that intentional? I hope not as it's distracting from her pretty eyes.

Lol our photography skills aren't our strongest skills that I'd admit;

1) Mask - those aren't bubbles or creases, it's actually groove lines as part of the mask's design. If I zoomed in any more with my phone, the face starts getting distorted but hope you can see the groove lines. Not Bubbles I can assure you.

2) Hair - Most folks have concerns about the hair. Apparently hair sculpts are one of the most expensive items sculptors charge due to the detailing and technicality - needs to be strong enough to hold the statue's weight. After SGTCC, the boys are going to relook at the hair. It's gonna cost abit but well worth it in exchange for collector's happiness.

Last but not least, I'd like to clarify, the Medusa shown on PO and website is the SAME as the one shown in FB. Some people are saying we changed the sculpt, so let me dispel that. Same prototype just different lighting and photo angles.

Staff wise... I'll update you on that later. Can't give away too much. ;p

The staff was borrowed from her hubby. If you have Blackbolt, you can get the Queen to hold the staff - they are companion pieces

will be a second head or only the masked one? and can u make some pictures with blackbolt too?

[shorudan]

Only the masked head comes with this statue. Lockjaw is quite a substantial 'accessory' in this regard. Would love to take pics together with Blackbolt but the King's master prototype is currently in the Factory going through mass cloning so no photos on him, I'm afraid.

For xm staff, Medusa price:

Xm.eu: 1189 euro + 25 euro (shipping cost)!!

Retail price XM.com: 663 euro (with European fees 808)
Member price Xm.com: 596 euro (with European fees 727)

This situation is ridiculous , European site should keep prices of com , not speculate .

Hi shorudan, i think I'm right in thinking that you can display Medusa without Lockjaw if desired as the she is supported by her hair.
If this is the case, will there be a switch-out left arm, or something else to go under her left hand, as it obviously is stretched out to sit on top of Lockjaws head, but if he's not there, it may look a little odd?
Just a thought, so thought I would ask!!

A good idea but the challenge is there is hair curled around her left arms... to make a switch out would risk breakage. Also the original design intention was meant for Medusa and Lockjaw to be displayed together as a complete setup. We made Medusa sit on her own hair to illustrate her unique powers of controlling her hair and also so there would be minimal paint scrapes if she were to actually sit on Lockjaw.

But not all will go for crazy money. Sure Phoenix and mags will. Look at the ended prices for XM hulk, Hawkeyes, XM black widow at a bit more than 800.00 etc.... I think it's all on which character. As for medusa she has a chance to do well because ss I don't see them making her like ever. Will this ship before 6 months from now?

Hi I notice in the original unpainted pictures medusa is sitting close to the dog head. In the painted proto she seem to be sitting much further away. Can we place them near or is the sitting position fix?

Also please dun change the face scuplt. It is perfect as it is.

this sold out in 3 mins on the website, not like hulk, hawkeyes and bw, this will be more for sure.
