Zimm's Two Cents
I like the Maquette style of statues, and in general, I am rather accepting of them - there have been some that I have not enjoyed but this is not one of them.

Points in Favor

• Simplicity in colors. The Owlman is the Parallel Universe equivalent of the Batman, and he doesn't have much going on in colors.
• While a Maquette with a little going on, he does have some rather nice detail.
• The cloak work great, it even shadows some of the arms.

Points Against

• Bland Base telling you who is and where he is from.

Recommendation: Buy. I'm actually enjoying this piece and considering collecting the entire series of characters.

Robert's Two Cents
I like this one, but I don't really get the point. I wonder how many people really want an Owlman piece for their collection. Most

Points in Favor

• Well done. Nice detail work.
  
• They did a good job with the cape.
  
• Almost overdone to be a "maquette".
• I'm a pretty big fan of the CSA, so to have this series interests me.
  

Points Against

• Yet another series where they start with Batman...sorta.
• The base is bland, but isn't aren't most maquettes? Isn't that the point of a maquette? It's supposed to be a representation of the character.
  

Recommendation: Pass. I like it and am interested in the series, but it's boring and it's just another character I barely am interested in enough to bother explaining it to people who come over. One thing about obscure characters, I have to care about them enough to want to explain who they are to people who visit in order to buy a statue or bust or maquette. Owman, notsomuch. I'll wait until I see Superwoman to make a final judgement on the whole series.
