Bowen Designs and Marvel Comics PresentsRetail Price: $100
Release Date: January 2009
Dimensions: 13" Tall
Sculpter: Randy Bowen
OK, first of all, a Bowen Designs statue for $100. A full sized statue, sculpted by Randy Bowen. When's the last time you saw that? This is clearly a statue Randy did because he wanted to see it.
This statue is one of the more detailed I've seen in a while. The base alone is unlike any I've seen in a while. It reminds me a bit of the base to the Avengers Beast statue. Very organic.
No one does fabric on comic sculptures like Randy Bowen. The folds and tears are nearly perfect.
This statue is really pretty awesome for a character that I barely remember. I think the only comic I own with him in it is a Mark Gruenwald era Captain America. And I think this statue is Da Bomb (even though I'm making fun of Zimm and the Red Wolf bust).
Then when I saw the price. Ordered!
Pros: Detail. Spooky face. The uber detailed base. Price.
Cons: It's going to scare my daughter. Obscurity of character.
A Hot Buy if you're into obscure characters or just a fan of the sculptures. Probably a Buy or Neutral if you don't or if it were at a higher price point.
Next I'd like to see Marvel's Frankenstein Creature as a companion piece.

Okay - Robert got me. I do like the obscure characters.
I spotted this on day one! I love the coloring, carving, colors, and eyes. In my opinion, this is a HOT BUY, and I will be kicking myself for not ordering it.
This is another reason I tend to prefer Bowen Designs.
I saw it then too. But I didn't notice the price until yesterday.
I still want a Marvel Frankenstein's monster.
