Pretty sure that picture is meant to be under embargo but none the less, I too am unimpressed by the Hades design
Them dogs ain't no hell hounds, where's the flames where's the fangs and the fiery drool. Sigh disappointed. And why does dog three look like its growing out of dog twos head?
The stylised flames are about the only good thing on the coin. The Lord of the Underworld looks like a dwarf from Lord of the Rings.
Love this design. The dog heads could have been a bit better but maybe it's hard to represent them given the space constraints.
Maybe placing Cerebus to the left of the design would have made it more obvious that it was a three headed dog, but no, when I look at a coin I don't want to see mundane things like a three headed dog, I want to look at the side of a chair and someone's toes! The interesting aspects of this coin should be the Lord of the Undead and his three headed dog, the throne isn't famous as far as I know, it isn't like the throne from "Game of Thrones' which is actually pretty cool to look at and plays a role in the story. So why are we seeing more of the throne than the three headed dog? Sorry if I keep going on about the three headed dog but that is definitely something I would want to highlight on this coin, not tuck it behind a chair so you can only see three heads and a couple of paws, with no indication that they all belong on the same animal.
Well that makes sense now. As you can see me and Greek mythology have some catching up to do. Still don't like the square looking nose on head two though.
The coins in this series look heaps better in person. Also the image above is on a bit of an angle and it distorts the design. If anybody wants to offload their Hades coins I am happy to buy them off you at issue price.
Dislike. He looks like hes posing for vouge or something. Like hes doing duck lips and put on fake eye lashes. and from the side? Owww how risque . it dosent have the power of the other god coins at all. It actually kinda looks like his trying to stand up and will make a grandpa grumble doing so. Nursing home hades maybe?
Next Tuesday 7th Oct 8am Perth time. So 10am eastern. Initial thought was damn ugly but it's actually growing on me.
I don't mind it. Its hard to convey scale on a coin like this I guess. Perhaps he would look more imposing if the viewing angle was slightly lower, so that you appear to be "looking up" at him, rather than down.
:lol: That and too much OxyShred The dude is ripped as aye. Irregardless, it'll sell out and hit $400 on eBay like the other two. I'll be getting one to flip for sure.
