Cool statue, yes.. but not really holly 'grail'. That is collector urge from within peoples imagination (like with many statues).
At that time is was high pricepoint and large size 1/4.
I've had 4 and a half (yes literally), receiving unpacking, returning, next one, etc.. took me 6months in total and I gave up.
The first one was the best with two small flaws (should kept that one), the rest got worse (prob other ppl return). The last one was broken in half (not because of shipping, but def someones garbage in a box).
Pros about it:
-Best part. The quality of the thick long tail with nice paint (hollow but good weight).
-The cast bow was large and looked good.
Cons:
-The rockbase to plain
-The pillar had some nudges in it, where the tail should fit (at both ends), but some statues did not fully align, result wobbly.
-Thing that bugged me most. Everything was good polystone/resin. But the hairdo was plain plastic and the cast suffered airholes. Some snakes had lumps/bumps and the paint on it was not great, you could clearly see it was inferior material and cast in two large pieces. Snakes should be more loose (also some snakeheads came broken).
Her head and hairdo is focuspoint when you look at it.
