The Best Bowen Marvel Mini-Bust: Round 2, Match 1! Competition gets FIERCE!

[MaxGoof]

This is Round 2, Match 1 of “The Best Bowen Marvel Mini-Bust” poll! You can vote for up to 6 of your favorites, but it's going to be a tough call because all of these busts are great and faced some stiff competition to get here!

The rules are easy:

Vote for the top 6 busts listed in the poll. You can vote for less than 6, but you can’t vote for more than 6. I'm randomly selecting busts from the pool of mini-busts who survived Round 1. Do not complain about the selections or ask to vote for someone not listed--if they're not listed, it's just not their turn yet or they've already been eliminated.

Have fun!

[Collection King 13]

Votes in! :buttrock:

[Wolverine1]

mwf, you would be proud of me!

[Tetragrammaton]

My early prediction is:

1-Rhino
2-Thor
3-Union Jack

[pmpknface]

It's early, but UJ is doing well!

[Meteor Man]

Union Jack for the sculpt....Ruben Procopio really nailed this character with this sculpt! :buttrock: Oh, and by the way, RUBEN ROCKS!!!!! :) Rhino...I really like this sculpt as well. Awesome job Randy. Vindicator.... this is just a great sculpt too!

[MaxGoof]

My early predictions is that Morbius has reached the end of his days. :D

[Deadpool]

I am surprised he made it this far!

[pmpknface]

I am surprised he made it this far!
I'm with you on this, but with Power Man and Quicksilver. They are cool and all, but they ain't hangin' with the BIG BOYS! :)

[Sniper]

this one was a bit more difficult, keep it going!!!!!

[Dj-B13]

this was hard but its going to be fun to see what comes on top! :)

[SirConor]

I voted for ol' morby but I knew it was hopeless...

Still I'm pulling for Sinister and Gambit... and Thing and Thor are obvious picks.

[Tetragrammaton]

I am surprised he made it this far!

The Morbius is a unique pose for a Bowen bust. The sculpt really captures the character and it has a nice paint. I am not that surprised he is around but from the looks of things, not for much longer.

[pmpknface]

I'm with you on Morbius. He's dead on, and still unique. Randy did a great job for him and I voted for him too!

[Justin]

excellent work Max, I'm going out on a limb here but i dont see Thor making it past this round

[mwf6171]

Yeah, just couldn't decide who to vote for.............:rolleyes:

[The Watcher]

Yep, good ole Morby should just throw in the towel. Give up. Surrender.

Oh, I see he already has...

[Furet03]

- Thor
- Gambit
- Sinistre
- Rhino
- The Thing
- Union Jack

[MaxGoof]

86 voters within 12 hours... Wow, things ARE heating up.

[Justin]

Thor is in trouble :)

[mwf6171]

Damn, Vindicator has bumped Union Jack.......................common folks more votes for Union Jack!!! :D

[Wolverine1]

Damn, Vindicator has bumped Union Jack.......................common folks more votes for Union Jack!!! :D
I think he will be safe, I even voted for him.

[Kirk Durfey]

Thing
Thor
Union Jack
Vindicator
PowerMan
Rhino

[GreenTurtle]

Gambit off course !!!

[joy_division]

vindicator
power man
UJ
sinister

[imthkman]

Thor, Rhino, UJ, Vindicator, Gambit, and Sinister. The Thing looks pretty good, but the strange base and cigar put me off.

[silverageguy]

Thor.
Best mini-bust ever made by anyone.

Probably won't win but it really is the best.
(IMHO)
:)

[mwf6171]

bump......

[rychehitman]

come on folks! THOR is the best one of the lot....followed by Rhino!

[Justin]

I just dont get the love for the Thor bust, It does nothing for me

[RichBamf]

This was the first round that actually gave me a bit of difficulty.

Max, have you previously done one of these for the FS?
If you have I'm sorry i missed out on it

[The Watcher]

I just dont get the love for the Thor bust, It does nothing for me

I agree. It's a good sculpt but I'm looking forward to seeing how Bowen does with the revisit.

[Achiever]

Rhino should win this round handsomely. It's been one of my faves for a long while. Thor should place well, too. My only gripe with the Thing is that he's looking down, so his face is always hidden (unless you have him on a really high shelf) and I hate that the arms are connected to that god aweful base. Yuk.

[mwf6171]

It will be too bad if the Thor mb makes it past this round.........it just does not compair to the newer mb's. JMO

[pmpknface]

... My only gripe with the Thing is that he's looking down, so his face is always hidden (unless you have him on a really high shelf) ...

That is 1 of my FEW gripes about some of the busts. The faces should NEVER be facing down. At most, straight on but never down. Punisher and the new Sandman are the first few others that come to mind.

[Doctor Pym]

I just dont get the love for the Thor bust, It does nothing for me

...And if it were produced today, by some company other than Bowen Designs, it wouldn't do anything for anyone else, either. The adoration for that Fem-Thor bust is scarcity-driven. People who have that thing are seeing it with dollar signs floating between the bust and their retinas.

I love Randy's work in general, but even he doesn't like that original Thor bust (as he's said many times), and I just don't see how anyone can claim it's some of his best work.

To quote Hercules (commenting on Thor's helmet), "Keep it, yea, but keep it in a dark place!!!"

[darthrobbler]

Powerman. He has the best hair style.

[nolilia]

Vindicator
Union Jack
Quicksilver (green version)

[Achiever]

Powerman. He has the best hair style.
Word.

[SirConor]

Thor.
Best mini-bust ever made by anyone.

Agreed. Definitely the best ever.

I can't believe Vindicator has so many votes :(
