Bowen Designs: Bucky as Modern Captain America

It is always good to see a Captain America statue, and it is nice to see that it is a modern version of Bucky as Captain America - but the price..... Okay, before I get to far along.

Produced By Bowen Designs
Sculpted By Randy Bowen
Size Over 12" tall
Type Statue
Edition Size TBD
Release Date October 2009
Price $265.00

Zimm's Two Cents Points in Favor
  • Interchangeable hand - but I figured everyone would want the pistol.
  • It's a Randy Bowen sculpt
  • He did give us a release date for this one.
  • Due to the pricing and the difficulty with the chrome, it will most likely be a very limited run.
Points Against
  • PRICING. I know that the chroming caused some problems and could potentially lead to some additional defects and returns - but $265.00. There are too many other statues that I would grab before this one. As a side bar, Are Bowen's prices inching up ever so slowly?
  • Something is throwing me off about his face.
  • The base. After all of the different Hulk bases, I am growing to expect a little bit more from Bowen Designs when it comes to the base.
Recommendation: Pass and pick yourself up a Faux Bronze statue. They are worth it! Or at least one of the Hulk's.
