bowen faux bronze wolverine

[Mesa]

Don't forget to order multiples Scott!

Funny. I was just looking at all the multiple HP GG busts I'm debating on what to do with.

You are of course entitled to your opinion but Shai, which ones look bad? I can only think of Doom and that pic is a proto. The other proto pics looked worse than the production pics too.

Wolverine is new, Thor is new, Captain is new, Daredevil's face was resculpted, and Spidey museum has always been a classic.
Pics:

They all look very classy IMO...as nice as the FB Hulk too. Just wait until Spidey and Doom production pics are released too.

Check the mouth part of the face on cap america and Daredevil, Gru...looks like the same guy to me...But,I know you like them and I'm sure you'll make a classy display out of it.....

fkkk yeah! Can't wait for these to arrive! They all look great, but im skipping doom and odin. not a huge fan of them.

I think a lot of people are going to kick themselves once these are shipped and sold out.

PS: that marble type base on Cap is amazing

Shai, I see what your saying, but, Thor has a very distinguished face don't you think? And the others, it's kind of hard to give them an individual expression, if there's only a mouth and chin to work with. The rest of the face is covered with a mask, which in my understanding defines the character. I'm not such a specialist in these things, but, looking at some comics from the 80-90 era, they all look a bit similar, wearing the type of mask they do, with the mouth uncovered. This is particularly clear when they act together, as a team, in the Avengers comics for instance. It's the suit and the abilities that make the difference. I like to think that the faux bronze figures are more of an archetypical approach to the character anyway, catching the essence of it. I don't think that the 'face' is what we should concentrate on, it's the alter ego of these individuals which is important for the figures.
One way or an other, I really like these Bowen faux bronze statues, but they are hard to get hold of, since Bowen is not allowed to sell outside US. I would love to have all the Bowen faux bronze statues!

i say to each his own. some would rather play with cheap injection molded plastic comic book renditions than collect true art.

At least the sculpt of those looks good...

LOL

I will say that I started with Bowen. I liked them a lot but then got into the Sideshow Marvel pieces. Very nice pieces for sure but take up a lot of space.

Then, I received the FB Hulk. It was better than any other Marvel piece from either Bowen or Sideshow IMO.

The quality just looked amazing and very classy.

This is the line for me from now on. I already have a nice display area waiting for them.

I just hope Randy announces more, we need Iron Man for sure!!!

FB Classic IM would be mine.

I don't understand why some are upset about missing out on this

It was up on Bowens site for order, for about 3 weeks before it sold out.

I thought the same thing but you know how much more of an impact Sideshow's site has on people! One of the reasons Bowen decided to start offering his statues there.

Actually, the bronze pieces were only available for 16 days before they sold out....Daredevil was less than a week.

I love the FB Bowen pieces. I wish SS would do something similiar and have a little color with the one's they make. I have a FB Duel of Fates coming soon (I hope). I'm really excited about this piece. Hopefully it doesn't let me down.

i keep fighting the urge to get the fb Hulk but around $400? i can't justify it...if I saw it in person though that may change things.

No, Bronze aint that bad..Its some of the sculpts I have some problem with...

But dont get me wrong...Bowen is a master at sculpting the only character that matters to me: Hulk.I own everyone of his Hulk sculpts in Statue/Bust form....Heres my latest buy :

A great hommage to Kirby & Ditko..
