I don't think it is. Pre-orders for AP's are available on the ARH website right now. I just checked.

Are you getting one, bro? The price is pretty outrageous but the piece is phenomenal !

PS: The new ARH website is nothing short of horrendous. Who did this? Why was it approved by ARH? It looks very low quality and cheap, from the designs to the pictures (if you can call them that in this day and age) of the statues..You guys are selling yourself short; it belittles your magnificent products..it makes me, a longtime customer not want to order your statues..For instance, Look at the pictures you put up of the angel of death? Are you kidding me? ARE YOU KIDDING ME ..Alex..you of all people..how can you allow this to happen!? Also, how long would it take to write a decent description of the product? specs, backstory, summary? How long would it take? 10 minutes? half an hour!? Very poor effort guys..the products are awesome, the website is not even bush league
Seriously guys..invest a few damn bucks in a professionally designed website and professionally taken photos and watch what happens...

Oh boy!!!
We were up the last few weeks finishing AOD! It came down to the wire! Arahom has had no time doing anything but this stuff for the show, the website is only weeks old guys!!!
Sometimes I feel like two-man band trying to play everything to perfection! I have another job and do my best and Arahom can only do so much.

We are now getting near to having Sideshow do all our sales, customer service, etc. So our website is secondary at this time. Its still an early work in progress and althogh not the best, its a step above what it used to be.
When we dont have to do returns/fixes etc we will have more time to spend doing what we like to do! Thats the plan, so lets see what happens when I get back.

i think the new website was easy to navigate, add to cart, checkout and pay. milo, do you design websites that you're so critical of ARH's?

i prefer function and not flash, but if you can do better, let's see it.

I'm not. It does loook cool but just not my cup of tea. I am fast running out of space and am having to be more selective (at least until a kid or two moves out so I can commandeer their rooms). I am planning to get Valkyrie in a boat and all the Greek gods and possibly Alexander on a horse although if he is 1/4 scale he will be too big for me I think.

It's weird, I didn't like the wing colour at all when I first saw it. Then I saw the video and it looks so much better than the pictures. It's awesome!

All the wait and the wing colour totally ruins it for me.
Completely disagree. The wing color is what makes me want this piece.

If you see the collection thread in new posts, it's because new pics have been added.

This is what has kept me from buying. I was able to get a response however when I emailed

"At this point, we need to charge all sales at the moment of purchase, even though some are pre-orders. The pre-order sales are what keep us afloat as the money that comes in help us to pay for costs of production and etc."

We appreciate your input about our website, but here is the info you are missing.

We are not looking for a better website, better pictures, or better marketing strategy at this point. Last year, we sold out all our production even before our factory was done producing the statues.

Sideshow had tons of orders for our Medusa 1/4th that we could not fulfill, and Diamond Comics are still sending us POs that we can not fulfill either for Thor, Athena, Pocahontas, Medusa, and etc....

Sales are not being a problem for us, so I believe that even though we have an “horrendous and unprofessional website” as you say, we are making all the money we possibly can at this point.

Once again, thanks for your input and opinion, but don't worry about our finances, sales or our marketing strategy, this is for me to worry. You guys should discuss and talk about the sculpture, paint jobs and character choices. This is what this forum is about!

i think it's OK for him to discuss his opinion of the ARH website, even though i found his statements about it not to be the experience that i had.

A picture of me at SDCC with AOD

We had a great reception and Angel of Death was even better in person.
Orders should go up sometime after July from Sideshow
