I'm sorry, but I can't resist: "Vatch as she takes ze pleasurez from ze ssserpent..." [/Blade Runner]
First off, the sculpt is tasty. She's poised and elegant, the snake is a fascinating addition, and the writhing mass of serpents on her head are intimidating and creepy. The level of detail is generally pretty good, though the face and the snake-hair could use a bit more detail. Overall the sculpt is pleasing.
The paint job is a little dull, and what keeps me from giving it 5 stars. There's an awful lot of undifferentiated white, which makes it look kind of like a blob of nothing when it's out on the table in play. The snakes are painted in such a way that it's difficult to tell where one ends and another begins. The best part is really the separate snake she's carrying, which is very well done and provides a good contrast for the other colors involved.
I predict lots of single sales for this one, one of the "must-haves" of the set. While simply painted, the hair and pose are great, and the add-on snake is a great touch. (Looks like it's molded separately then glued on later.) It's also nice that she's depicted in a non-combat pose - I have enough medusa archers already, and this is a refreshing take on a classic subject.
The medusa wears a white dress, has green snakes for hair, and a light green snake wrapped around her—if you've got a different coloration, it might be a paint error.
Edit: I see what you mean. The original sculpt we have on this page is incorrect. I'll see if I can't get it updated.
