Bowen Statues/Busts - Look what's coming!

[VS1976]

1/3 scale wolverine by hollywood collectibles. $500

Sorry but I disagree with you

Your missing the point. There doesn't have to be an exact statue used in comparison. It's a new company with a scale larger then SS's PF that is priced significantly lower then SS and/or any other label would have sold this piece had they manufactured it. The idea I was insinuating is that competition in the market place would drive down price. Your rebutltal was Your logic makes no sense. Spidey976 was spot on with his analogy using the blueray player as an example because of the context in which it was used, Sony had a Monoply on the market at that time much like sideshow does now. Sony could get away charging 1k for a blueray player that now you can find at most electronic stores for 100 by several manufactures. Simple economics is supply vs demand. Less supply and high demand drives price up. High supply equates to less demand which drives price down. If consumers had more than SS as a option with equal quality in the 1/4 scale department then the Monoply would cease to exist driving price down. I know I don't have any witty smiles or characters in my response but I'm sure you'll still be able follow along

Prices in electronics drop in time because of many factors, not JUST because things get cheaper to make. The BIGGEST one is when OTHER companies begin to produce the same or a similar product and UNDERCUT the original developer. Then the original developer has a choice to make: keep prices high and keep their brand more high brow, or drop them to compete. The PS4 is $100 less then the new XBOX, and it is even cheaper then the PS3 was on release Sony isn't doing that because it is so much cheaper to produce. They are doing it to undercut XBOX and take a bigger share of the market.



The only way the prices wouldn't drop would be if the other companies got together with SSC and colluded in order to keep the prices higher. Similar to the price of gas. Honestly, you are spot on with this though m8.

Its defintely an improvement over the little smiley people at the end of every sentence. I say A in effort for the unoriginal panda borrowed from Laudel

Anyone know if Sideshow will ever be listing the strike down Thor or is directly from Bowen my only option?

If so do Bowen take payment straight away or when then statue is ready to ship?

Bowen don't ship outside the US, sadly, but I'd be amazed if Sideshow didn't list it sooner or later. You could always try Big Bad Toy Store if you don't mind the pricier international shipping costs.

Oh well that rules out ordering from them full stop then

But BBTS PO is sold out. I'm still debating if I should PO it or get it when he ships and I can see in-hand pics. I'm not familiar with Bowen sell-through.

 

[tommyh84]

Sideshow have just listed the strike-down Thor!! Ordered!!

 

[Pork Chop Express]

Finally had a chance to pickup one of the items that I missed out on from BD directly.

Great piece. Very monochromatic and well sculpted. This one has been steadily rising in value for a while, and after getting it hand I can see why.

I'll get IM eventually even though I was never a huge fan. Wasp I got a deal on and she makes everyone else look bigger, especially the hulk.

 

[Mqhuynh]

Nice pick up on the BP.

 

[jpsarri]

Black panther looks phenomenal!! Congratulations.

 

[Spidey976]

Bowen has been hitting some home runs as of late... Nice work.

 

[Pork Chop Express]

In natural light BP looks almost completely black.
I might get 1-2 a year from BD, usually.
Next is the new Strike Down Thor and then Frankenstein.
Really looking forward to Frankenstein.

 

[NIGHTCRAWLER]

Wow,I really like the smooth look of BP. Nice pick up. And the Frankenstein statue is simply badas

yes it is,Spiral and Longshot would be a good idea

 

[NIGHTCRAWLER]

Wow Mojo looks awesome! I've never been a fan of the character, but you have to respect this great sculpt

 

[Drakul]

I'm eagerly awaiting dracula...

 

[Rockstars721]

Really excited to get this statue yesterday, she turned out better than I expected. I have the other two versions coming as well, can't wait to have all of them displayed together!!
