I love this picture. Nice mix of the Koto pieces with this Bowen Hulk.
They do look cool together. From over at Statue marvels.
Are Bowens a little pricey...yes...Are they a superior product,both sculpt and paint?...Yes!...Do they offer way more Marvel characters and even variants than anybody else? ...YES!...Will anybody ever catch up to them in regards to how many characters made?...MAYBE NEVER!....are they just as good looking as any pieces made by anybody else?...YES!...only critique any one can say is price and size...no other critique is acceptaple in my book...NONE!...well maybe one more...the high ES that they used to do in the past...otherwise I personally will not bash Bowen nor anyone who has strictly collected Bowen...In fact if you add up the Marvel Bowen Characters NO ONE COMES CLOSE...NO ONE!...Add all the statues put together from ALL the othe companies and you still wont be close....Are other companies statutes nice too?...Yes they are but................Great Hulk by the way....I'm still pissed off that I didnt get the Retro Green when it was under 300...now it goes for 400 and up...damn..........Now I wonder if there will be an Action Hulk version...
You of course are completely entitled to your opinion, but remember it is JUST an opinion. I don't dispute anything you say ... But personally I could throw detail level in there as a critique along with size and price. As great a comic book version as this Hulks above are because of their size they lack the detail of say the Hulk Maquette or the Grey Hulk Comiquette. Now it is like arguing which Hulk you like better Kirby or Keown, it is totally subjective and ONLY opinion based. I prefer you more detailed work of Keown so it is natural for me to gravitate to the bigger statues, but after seeing many pics of this new Bad Boy I agree that he does look great IMHO.
People disagree about things, and just because they don't agree with YOU that doesn't mean there is no hope for them. Please keep that in mind.
In the end Skaar is almost twice as big as THIS large Hulk by Bowen so for $100 more you get nearly twice the statue.
Are Bowens a little pricey...YES
Do they offer way more Marvel characters and even variants than anybody else? ...YES!...
Will anybody ever catch up to them in regards to how many characters made?...MAYBE NEVER!
In fact if you add up the Marvel Bowen Characters NO ONE COMES CLOSE...NO ONE!
I know Bowen Designs isn't very popular on these boards, but i still don't understand how any Marvel fan doesn't love Bowen Designs. Sideshow is the juggernaut of the collectible industry, but when it comes to MARVEL COMICS statues, Bowen Designs is the authority.

At the end of the day, buy what YOU personally like...unless someone else is funding your hobby. Then you might want to get his/her opinion.
