Bowen Designs Red Hulk Statue

Red Hulk Statue by Bowen DesignsHoly Guacamole! This Red Hulk statue is sweet! I love it. I'm enjoying the current Red Hulk storyline, even if I don't care for the Red Hulk character that much, but this story captures everything that is cool about him and ups the dosage a thousandfold.

This is very nearly the best Hulk statue ever. The base is even cool. They really captured the essence of the character and the detail is to die for (see below).

Robert's Two Cents:
Beautiful sculpt! I even like the paint job. One of the things I've noticed about the Red Hulk in the comic is the way he holds his hands even portrays his power and this statue even captured that little detail (specifically the right hand).

Points In Favor

• Great sculpting.
  
• Paint job. One of the best Bowen paint jobs ever.
  
• Great pose and detail.
• They even got his crooked smile right.
• The base even looks cool!
  
• Beautiful
  

Points Against

• Price
• That's it. That's the only complaint I can come up with.
  

Recommendation: Hot Buy! - This has to be one of my favorite statues we've commented on here. I love it! They really replicated the look of this character in 3d beautifully. Some of the details I mentioned above like the hands and eyes, plus the veins popping out and his hair are the things that really make this a wonderful piece.

I also really like the Hulk piece Zimm mentioned on Wednesday. It really looks like the traditional "Hulk Smash!" Hulk. Bowen's done it again with this piece. He's captured Ed McGuinness' Red Hulk without aping McGuinness' style.


Zimm's Two Cents
Seeing the Red Hulk once again reiterates why Bowen is one of the best. While the primary pose and frame of the statue of the Red Hulk duplicates the Retro Hulk, the "devil is in the details" - which is why Bowen Designs tends to rock on these sculptures.
Points in Favor

• The face captures the Red Hulk perfectly.
• I like all of the blood veigns that were added, as they once again capture the artistic style of the character.
• When I look at the close up shots, I like the colors.
• Upcoming specific release date and a higher price then the Retro Hulk suggests that this statue will have a very limited edition size. (Just a guess here though).

Points Against

• Price - and it is $50 more than the Retro Hulk. Was the extra inch what caused this statue to go up by 50 or the possibility of it being a limited run.
• The base - for a Bowen statue - is a tad bit bland.

Recommendation: If you like the Red Hulk, then BUY; however, if you are a fan of any other Hulks - Retro Grey Hulk, Planet Hulk or even Maestro Hulk, you may want to hold out for one of those. I'm leaning toward the Retro Hulk. As everyone should have a Hulk in their collection, at least one of these Hulk's should make an individual's HOT BUY list.
