Robert's Two Cents
This is the first post that I started in a while.

This version of Captain Marvel has one of the best costumes in Marvel Comics history. He also has one of the most tragic deaths of any comic character. Not to mention he probably has the best head of hair of any character in comics.

The faux bronze pieces have all been very nice. Zimm has several of them on display in his office and they make for an impressive sight. This one would fit in nicely with the rest of his collection or any other Bowen collection.

Points in Favor

• The colors are just right for Captain Marvel and for a faux bronze.
  
• The hair. Cap had the best 70s hairdo of any super hero.
• The pose is iconic while not being overstated (like many Superman pieces)
  

Points Against

• The base is blah! While I don't get as hung up on the bases as Zimm, I do expect more of this one. It looks like someone took a blank base and added pyrite on top of it.
  

Recommendation: HOT BUY! I like Captain Marvel. He's a great looking character and the fuax bronzes for the most part have been really nice. Personally I prefer the museum pieces in the faux bronze treatment over some of the more "actively" posed pieces. So this one is perfect in my opinion.
