These two statues are parts of a game I play. They may not both be used, you must select one statue to be a part of your play area. Do you prefer the white and gold one (image one) or the blue-green one (image two)? In image two, disregard the surrounding stuff, just judge the statue itself.

The reason I ask is that I MUCH prefer the white and gold, and my wife much prefers the blue-green. The game is Gardens of Time, a Facebook game. That’s irrelevant, though - I’m interested in which design is preferred. Joe ---

The white and gold one, definitely. It looks much more dynamic and, well, dragon-y. And a dragon and Buddha seems like a bit of an odd juxtaposition. ---

The fat green buddha character is so not my style that I opt for the gold. What’s my third choice? ---

The blue/green dragon looks like he’s winding up for a pitch. The white and gold statue looks quite monumental, which I think is a good thing for this subject. ---

White and gold, not the buddha. ---

Like **Al Bundy** said, the Buddha is weird and doesn’t belong there. Even so, I went for the green after an initial preference for white. The white is a skillfully done decorative sculpture; the green is a statue of a dragon holding red ball. ---

I have the white and gold one in my garden. ---

I like the white more. My curiosity is piqued about the game too since the statues look so much like Sims 2 designs. ---

Made me think of this, watch 'til the end: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWoWHzq21tA](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWoWHzq21tA) White: White+red+gold is striking. Column + dragon serpent wrapped around it looks majestic and threatening like, you know, a dragon is supposed to look. Green: It’s Buddha and a dragon holding a red ball on top of Buddha’s head. Is the dragon smiling because he’s about to pull a prank on Buddha by dropping the red ball on his head to see if he can make Buddha lose his shit? ---

Hey, another Gardens of Time addict! Cool! Oh yeah, the white one. 🙂
