Re: Future Looks Bright for Bowen!
There's lots to admire about this piece but there are a few things which bother me:
1. It looks too symmetrical as a result of being a digital sculpt. This is the one thing digital sculptors will have to improve on in the future.
2. The upper torso looks just a little too small above the waste which looks alittle squeezed.
3. Base is totally uninspired. Why is it not similar to the the previous cosmic bases.
I'll have to think on this one. Love the pose and the fact that its based on Starlin's work. Cosmic cube is inspired.
I'm not too thrilled with the price increases but I understand why. At least Bowen got Thanos' head right.

Re: Doctor Doom Modern
"Fear is for lesser men... Never for DOOM!"
I got the Classic, mask looks a lot better and Doom rarely uses his gun...especially modern Doom, so don't know what they were thinking there. Still, such an awesome statue:
Doom likes dramatic pointin':

Re: Doctor Doom Modern
Yeah, dig the classic. Looks like a John Byrne inspired headsculpt. Think I'll pick this one up when I can find one on the cheaper side since I never got the first Doom.
Modern one... not so much. I agree, that one has a fugged up mask.

Re: Future Looks Bright for Bowen!
Randy has explained the price increases in great detail. The factories are charging much more (and have been but he's been taking less profit for awhile) and overhead is costing much more. He has to increase the price like any normal business would.
Now, I understand if you see a SS statue and the price isn't much different that it might be confusing. However, SS has many more licenses and can make better deals withe factories,etc. Also, some SS costs much more than expected and thats probably quotes to get the statues done too.
All in all, buy what you like, mix and match. Its what I do. Some pieces that I want comic accurate, I'll buy from BD. Some other pieces that I don't mind the artistic interpration I'll get from SS.
As far as poses, BD tries to make statues that are easier to display and that will display well with teams and other statues. I like simpler poses. Some of those poses to me show the character better than a dynamic pose. A couple of pieces from SS I think are great sculpts but I don't like the pose. Its all just how you like your statue design and how you will display them. No right or wrong answer that applies to everyone

The very first Thor he did made me get into Marvel and DC statues. My favorite Bowen is the Daredevil on the gargoyle (red version).

My favorite Bowen is the museum Silver Surfer.
In my opinion, no statue produced since by any company captures the essence of the character like that statue.

Re: Future Looks Bright for Bowen!
actually, Sideshow have raised their prices on their statues compared to their prices 3-5 years ago that I have stopped buying and being more selective with their products.

X-23 Bowen Statue
I tried looking online and through other threads for any information on the new X-23 statue by Bowen, but I couldn't find any.
I found the price, eventually, sheesh. But does anyone know what the specs are for this product?
