This one is pretty unique. I like that its made out of metal.

Hey everyone, so I’d like to get a statue of St. Michael and as of now I’m leaning towards this one, its a more modern looking design. What’s everyone think, should I stick with this or go with a more classical looking one?

Sorry to be contrary, but this one has no appeal to me. It seems too barbaric in its appearance, whereas the well-known version is mighty, but angelic. Just my opinion.
 
I like it! St. Michael certainly looks like he means business in this depiction!

This statue makes me feel real glad that he’s on our side!
 
LOVE IT!!! WOW!!! LOVE IT!!!

I’m thinking my husband may need to own that. Heck yeah, that has to be one of the most awesome St. Michael statues I’ve ever seen.

He battled Satan for cryin’ out loud - he surely doesn’t look like some greeting card “angelic” sissy.

Looks amazing. Whered you get that? I’m interested to get one for myself…hehe. Looks LOTRish / Warcraftish (Arthas) IMO
 
wait now I get it, the product description says "Revelation 12:7-9 reads “Now war arose in heaven, Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, but they were defeated and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent who is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world – he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.”

That’s a good one you posted!

^That’s the other one I’ve been considering. It has a more classical look and seems more angelic IMHO. The one I originally posted concerns me for the most part only in that it seems more fantastic like you’d find in a film or video game. I like them both, hard to choose, each is inspiring.

Can someone tell me what it says on the sword? 🍿

:hmmm: I don’t know if anyone can confirm this but it almost looks like angelic script, and if that’s the case you can guarantee I won’t be getting this. Any thoughts?

Most people don’t know what angelic script is…and you have to look into occult books to find a cipher…or an Ozzy album.

Well, looks to me like the dragon’s (satan) head is too big and not proportional…just look at the horn…it overwhelms the statue, or it seems to be the focus and not St. Michael.

As one other poster noted, Michael’s custom is to videoish…just my thoughts. I do have one big carving of the traditional depiction on my house, and smaller ones in my kids rooms…👍

On another note…have you seen this documentary? If not, wait till you get to part 4…and see who shows up to intercede…youtube.com/watch?v=dDgoNlOn-hk

I don’t know anything about those so-called Angelic runes, but I did find this webpage displaying different types of scripts designated as such. I didn’t see the uppermost symbol on the statue’s sword (the largest and clearest) but maybe I overlooked it. And maybe there are other “angelic scripts” out there which includes that symbol.

That uppermost symbol also does not look like a Greek, Latin or Hebrew letter, or any of the runes on this webpage.

It could be that the statue’s artist simply made these symbols up, and that they don’t really signify anything but rather are designed to give the statue a more enigmatic look.
 
I love St. Michael and I can’t wait to get a statue for myself. I’m looking for one that St. Michael is holding scales as well as a sword. The one you show in the picture is pretty cool.

St. Michael, pray for us!
