The marketing brochure from the Fall of 1987 is the only official photograph the studio released of King Solomon. The only notable difference between the prototype and production items is the position of his scepter. A bonding agent was used to attach the gold painted porcelain part to the body of the sculpture.
Measures 15 1/4"
No design variations are known to exist. Only very minor color variations (likely due to kiln conditions) have been noted.
Primary damage most often observed on King Solomon is to fingers on his extended right hand. The scepter is frequently found separated if not missing when the sculpture is offered on the secondary market. If the sculpture has no damage other than the scepter having become loose, this does not hurt the value. A small amount of common adhesive can be used to reattach the scepter to his hand and waist.
Liquid 24k gold paint was applied to his crown, necklace and scepter using Old Coin Gold accents. A few later pieces have been noted with a dull finish unlike the earlier pieces with the typical brilliant finish.

Production items found so far have no variations from the marketing photo above.
At least one color variation was created but likely never released to production. This unique piece sold at auction when the studio liquidated its remaining archives at auction in 2019.
While no design variations are apparent the obvious application of additional gold on the back of his royal robe is striking on the sage green background. This color combination would've been well received but would not have worked well pairing with Berengaria.
Richard's official companion was Berengaria as stated previously. However, he also displays nicely with Queen Guinevere.
Clearly a bit more blingy, this color combo shows far more of the Old Coin Gold in the crown, chalice and on the sword.
