Bowen Designs Faux Bronze Iron Man

Originally I didn't like the Faux Bronze line from Bowen, both as an attempt to re release existing sculpts without technically violating the original edition size at a higher price than the original release, and aesthetically, these characters seem like the belong in color, not monochrome. Now after seeing them on Zimm's shelf, I've changed my mind. They look really sharp.

The latest edition in this "series" is the Iron Man. This looks really nice.

Manufacturer: Bowen Designs
Sculpted by: Randy Bowen

Dimensions: 13 1/2" tall overall

Edition Size: Unknown, but it's a Bowen website exclusive

Release Date: Summer 2009

Retail Price: $250.00

Points in favor:

• The faux bronze looks sharp, almost like Iron Man was made for this treatment.
• It's the "classic" Iron Man armor.
  
• A really nice sculpt and pose.
• It's a Bowen sculpt.
  

Points against:

• Price, but at $250 it's one of the less expensive faux bronzes.

If I buy one Iron Man statue, this is it. Plus, if you order it from Bowen directly, you can request Randy Bowen himself sign it for an additional charge.

Rating: Hot Buy!
