[Teague]

That is just awesome. It will look extremely cool with my other Avengers!!!

[Saurons I]

Absolutely beautiful! My poor, poor wallet. :bawling:

[Colossus]

Damn I hate this gimpy bastard but the statue rocks!

[BOSCO]

This statue is kicka$$..count me in for one of these :buttrock: :buttrock:

[Gianco]

Nice piece of Art!

[mitchanator]

i don't really care for the caracther but i might get it

[risingstar]

That is stunning!

[risingstar]

That statue is so gorgeous, it deserves a second mention...

Wow.

[Jesse321]

Man even I don't care for the charactor all that much, but I have to admit that is one AMAZING sculpt!! BD's TOTALLY hit this one out of the ball park!

[dr.doom]

I was looking for Antman helmet too,but I can't see it on the photos,maybe Randy will add it later ;)
Can you see if there are the belts for the arms on the back of Cap shield?

[Viking28]

AWESOME!!! :buttrock:

[COI]

Now, THIS is why I collect statues. Awesome!

[Kirk Durfey]

Great interview as usual, CK...

Oh, and by the way, that Hawkeye is SWEET!!!!!

[Endless Wake]

I was looking for Antman helmet too,but I can't see it on the photos,maybe Randy will add it later ;)
Can you see if there are the belts for the arms on the back of Cap shield?

no belts, you can see the back of the shield in the final photo

[bat_collector]

base is nice, sculpt ok

I'll pass

[risingstar]

Does that metal hand belong to Ultron?

Over at the interview thread, there was also a pic of a Venom statue. What's that all about?

[ant-man]

very happy...cant wait t0 get this one...NICE work Randy!!!!

[Endless Wake]

Well I don't know about you guys, but I'm glad I waited...

[dr.doom]

no belts, you can see the back of the shield in the final photo
Thanks EW,you confirmed my first impression,I hope the belts will be added,however,as I wrote in my first post,this statue is really awesome,it's how I've always imagine a Hawkeye FS ,and now it will be mine!!!!One of the best sculpts from Randy!!!! :buttrock:

[dr.doom]

Well I don't know about you guys, but I'm glad I waited...

http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d100/endlesswake/hawkeyehardhero.jpghttp://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d100/endlesswake/hawkeyecrop50.jpg
For me there is NO COMPARISON! BD one is the best!!!

[risingstar]

Well I don't know about you guys, but I'm glad I waited...

There is nothing like a healthy dose of competition between companies... It tends to bring out the best work out of people...

First round knockout for BD on this one. Remarkable job.

[dr.doom]

I love the way Hawkeye looks at the target in the Front-photo :)

[Jameshowlett]

Coolest Statue Yet! That Is ..just..wow!

[Endless Wake]

There is nothing like a healthy dose of competition between companies... It tends to bring out the best work out of people...

First round knockout for BD on this one. Remarkable job.
Well put and I agree, round one goes to Bowen Designs. Wait, I forgot Namor, that's 2 for Bowen Designs.

[mfrancoiii]

there is no doubt which statue is the best, You rock Randy!! :buttrock:

[spawnyvsbatman]

Hey Charles,

That was a great interview you did and for Randy taking the time out to do that was super cool of him.....really shows how much he cares for his fans :thumbs2:

sPAWNY

[SirConor]

Freaking unbelievably dynamic piece. Way to go Randy, you've really outdone yourself here.

Seeing this piece, may I please ask that you yourself take care of our standing in costume Wolvie for ph III? Please. I'll be the first to applaud the work of any other great sculptor, but there is something to be said about the Bowen touch...

[Uncle Jake]

Beautiful piece!

I just hope this isn't the end for Hawkeye!

Come on, Randy!

Give us a new MB!!!

[P1X4R]

i'm speechless! it's perfect! love the base!

[COI]

Well I don't know about you guys, but I'm glad I waited...

http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d100/endlesswake/hawkeyehardhero.jpghttp://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d100/endlesswake/hawkeyecrop50.jpg

I was waiting for this. :laugh:

Let's see.........different line, different scale, different style, and neither has even been released yet. All we have are these photoshopped -- excuse me, PROTOTYPE pics, and already there's "no comparison". Give me a break. There's room for more than one character representation statue in the market. They both kick arse, and if you insist on comparing, at least wait unti they're released. :rolleyes2

[nexus]

Fantastic!

[Endless Wake]

Seth's work is amazing, but this is the Hawkeye statue for me.

[Wolverine1]

WOW this is an AMAZING piece of art! I can't wait to get it!

[Das Brutah]

Great interview. Thank you very much. That is an AMAZING statue.
:buttrock:

[CaptCracker]

I really like the detail he's adding in his newer peices, I'll definitely be picking this one up!!........and Namor (both).

[Deadpool]

I cant wait for this one.... even the base is bad ass! :buttrock:
Does anyone know the run # ?

[ickwinzs]

the hawkeye looks good but the anchor point or the lack of is the only flaw I can see other wise it looks good

[Predator]

Magnificent. :buttrock:

After this, I cant wait to see how the Thor and Cap resculpts are gonna look.

[randy bowen]

I was looking for Antman helmet too,but I can't see it on the photos,maybe Randy will add it later ;)
Can you see if there are the belts for the arms on the back of Cap shield?

The arm straps on Caps sheild were added later. AntMans helmet and Wondermans sunglasses are also missing from these shots, but WILL be on the final.

[imthkman]

Man, that statue is BAD-A$$ !!!! One of my favorite characters, and that statue captures him perfectly. Can't wait for it!!

[risingstar]

The arm straps on Caps sheild were added later. AntMans helmet and Wondermans sunglasses are also missing from these shots, but WILL be on the final.


You're using the Wonder man sunglasses idea??
Very kewl..............................

I have to ask because it'll bug me... Was that following my suggestion to consider adding the glasses on an older thread? When you posted prelim ideas, I had said, "What, no Wonderman shades?". You then responded.

Whether it is in response to the suggestion or not, the statue is a surefire hit!

:)

[mfrancoiii]

The arm straps on Caps sheild were added later. AntMans helmet and Wondermans sunglasses are also missing from these shots, but WILL be on the final.
the statue is awesome Randy. People like me who will buy anything you sculpt appreciate you attention to detail. :)

[Endless Wake]

The arm straps on Caps sheild were added later. AntMans helmet and Wondermans sunglasses are also missing from these shots, but WILL be on the final.
Not that the piece isn't perfect as is, how about adding the Scarlet Witch's "Tiara"?
Addendum: No wait, there's no Vision object either, unless it's the hand?

http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d100/endlesswake/avengers503.jpg

[Wolverine1]

Hey Jesse, I love the base! :eplus2: :laugh:

[Nightcrawler777]

Who's Hand is coming out of the Rocks???

[COI]

Seth's work is amazing, but this is the Hawkeye statue for me.

Cool, as long as this dosen't turn into a "HH's Hawkeye sucks" thread. I think they're both killer, and I look foreward to adding both to my collection.

[vudoo1979]

This is an awesome statue....

[Endless Wake]

Cool, as long as this dosen't turn into a "HH's Hawkeye sucks" thread. I think they're both killer, and I look foreward to adding both to my collection.
That's what I'll be doing with the Iron Fist statues. :buttrock:

[Endless Wake]

Here's a pic of Randy sculpting this piece. :)

http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d100/endlesswake/FD170.jpg

[risingstar]

I think people will step in before people start posting bashing threads...

HH just got off the starting block. The industry greatly benefits artistically from the competition between companies.

[risingstar]

Here's a pic of Randy sculpting this piece. :)

http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d100/endlesswake/FD170.jpg




That is hilarious!!!

[randy bowen]

Who's Hand is coming out of the Rocks???

Ultrons, but it's been ripped from his arm.

[Nightcrawler777]

Here's a pic of Randy sculpting this piece. :)

http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d100/endlesswake/FD170.jpg


That is Fantastic...lol.... :laugh:

[Pogo4321]

Love the base. Nice statue overall, but I prefer the HH, though (based on what I've seen so far).

The color on the gloves looks off. Should it match the blue of the uniform?

[Wolverine1]

That is Fantastic...lol.... :laugh:
I don't get the Captain America?

[mfrancoiii]

You must be looking at a different statue than me, cause Randy's blows away the HH version. :peoples:

[Tetragrammaton]

I like both. Will buy both. That sound you hear is my bank account breaking...but it will be worth it! :buttrock:

Could do without the Iron Man helmet on the base. No way Ultron could take him in a fight. :)

[risingstar]

Spoken like a true Iron Man fan...... LOL

On a good day, Ultron can almost take on anybody.

[ickwinzs]

You must be looking at a different statue than me, cause Randy's blows away the HH version. :peoples:
the pose is dramatic but being an archer The Bd mechanics are all wrong, while the HH is correct, The BD one is a good sculpt, but I cannot get passed this

[Capt. America]

That Hawkeye statue is a must have " AWESOME PIECE "

[rychehitman]

speaking from an archer perspective....I think Hawkeye would use a compund bow, rather than the long bow....Wasn't he using a compund in that mini he had with the werewolf guy?...right after Mockingbirds death? (Maaaan we need a Mockingbird mb!)

[risingstar]

the pose is dramatic but being an archer The Bd mechanics are all wrong, while the HH is correct, The BD one is a good sculpt, but I cannot get passed this


How are the mechanics wrong? What are you seeing?

I figure Hawkeye can shoot a bow from virtually any position, no?

[Tetragrammaton]

Not to question you...well I guess I am questioning you but not in disagreement... what is wrong with the archery mechanics in the Bowen pose?

[Pogo4321]

the pose is dramatic but being an archer The Bd mechanics are all wrong, while the HH is correct, The BD one is a good sculpt, but I cannot get passed this

I was thinking that. It looks awkward, but not being an archer I wasn't sure.

And other than that I just like the style of the HH.

[rychehitman]

How are the mechanics wrong? What are you seeing?

I figure Hawkeye can shoot a bow from virtually any position, no?

Well, it kind of depends on the distance of the shot and the force intended...but hey, I can suspend my beliefs and be happy....that base is unbelievable.

My only thing is that IMO if all those other Avengers have fallen, Clint must be pretty pissed off and determined! He looks like he just put on the tights that Jarvis lighly starched and folded....shouldn't there be a few tears and some battle damage on him?


Hawkeye..last Avenger standing!!! Works for me!

[ickwinzs]

the way his right hand is pulled back to far, your right hand if you are right handed should be basicly resting by your cheek as an anchor point so this way each time you pull back your bow your line of sight at what you are aming at is allway coming from the same point. does that make sence? like the back sight on a rifle that has no scope

[CaptCracker]

Does anyone know of the painting that inspired Randy?
Please post the pic if you do, thanks

[Brian Talley]

Wow......just wow.

[Tetragrammaton]

Got what you are saying. On the Bowen piece his hand seems to be touching his ear rather than a point on his cheek. Thanks.

Also, shouldn't the arrow be in the same line as his bow arm? Wouldn't he need some sort of protection on his forearm as well?

As far as the compound bow goes, I think the longbow is classier.

[Elessar]

looking at the picture gives me goosebumps. a must have statue for me in 2006. great job Mr Bowen and gang.

[ickwinzs]

not if you hold the bow correctly it will not slap you, its when you don't hold your bow hand correctly as in you let your wrist angle towards the bow string thats when you get smacked and I do know how that feels!
Plus as an expert archer as he is he wouldn't have his bow set up to be able to pull past his anchor point, there is a limit on how far back you can pull it no matter how strong you are

[Justin]

it looks good but i think the bust is better! :laugh:

[Endless Wake]

I added Vision's arm on the left and Scarlet Witch's tiara on the right. This is just to see what it would look like, the piece is as close to perfect as a statue can get.

Thus far HAWKEYE and MOON KNIGHT are the must have FS's I see...The bar has been raised with these two!

Great additions...perhaps a tuft of blue fur?!?!?

[Tetragrammaton]

I seriously considered getting a crossbow, but when I was unable to draw the 150-lb string in the store, I put it back and picked up a new 12-gauge. :)

[Justin]

Why is Ultron's head in the rubble?

[Tetragrammaton]

Great additions...perhaps a tuft of blue fur?!?!?

Perhaps Gorilla Grodd could be added to the base?

I think there is enough going on with the base as is considering Ant-Man's helmet and Wonder Man's glass are confirmed to be added.

[ickwinzs]

I seriously considered getting a crossbow, but when I was unable to draw the 150-lb string in the store, I put it back and picked up a new 12-gauge. :)

HAHA, I know what you mean, I have a single cam compound bow that I have set at 60 lbs, that shoots faster per second than my sons bow that he pulls 90 lbs by alot fps(feet per second) A good single cam bow can flat out haul balls, without all the tuning problems of a 2 cam bow

[insomniac]

I think people will step in before people start posting bashing threads...

HH just got off the starting block. The industry greatly benefits artistically from the competition between companies.
:buttrock:

[CaptCracker]

Randy, Is this the pic that inspired you for Hawkeye?

[CaptCracker]

Or was it this one

[Ish]

yeah i saw it, it is hot.

[Ish]

Or was it this one
hey what it he doing to her on that pic. :laugh:

[imthkman]

I like both. Will buy both. That sound you hear is my bank account breaking...but it will be worth it! :buttrock:

Could do without the Iron Man helmet on the base. No way Ultron could take him in a fight. :)

I would buy both also, if I could afford it. Right now I can't. They are both excellent, although I prefer BD's.

[ickwinzs]

hey what it he doing to her on that pic. :laugh:
Conan can do it all!!

[Jack8022]

This looks great! How tall is it going to be?

[abmarv]

Will pass on this. I definitely prefer the HH version.

[Ish]

i'm down for both. hh, bd.

[Kirk Durfey]

Randy, Is this the pic that inspired you for Hawkeye?
I think he stated it was this one, 'Against the Gods'...

[DEAD_MAN]

There is nothing like a healthy dose of competition between companies... It tends to bring out the best work out of people...

First round knockout for BD on this one. Remarkable job.
GUy's I just noticed some thing.........













The H.H doesn't look like it has the arrow carring case on his back?

EDIT: NEVER mined just saw the HH website he does have it.

[Tetragrammaton]

A case for the bow or a quiver for the arrows?

[MASTERSHOKHAN]

....so Randy sculpted this, right!?

[DEAD_MAN]

A case for the bow or a quiver for the arrows?
Yup correct Ive been drinking sorry

[claws181]

I want one!!!!!

[DEAD_MAN]

....so Randy sculpted this, right!?
yup this is the only Fs statue that Randy sculpted that Im passing
Don't get me wrong One of his best work but I just can't stand Hawkeye.
Remeber Im The Bowennoser :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

[BAMF]

Oh, knock it off! I swear... :banghead: :banghead:

[BAMF]

That's a real nice piece, Randy!

[speedracer]

That is the nicest stat i've seen from marvel ANYWHERE...I think i'm going to get myself two pieces just in case one is damaged...WWWWWOOOOOWWWW...super nice..=)

[randy bowen]

Or was it this one

both :)

[Deadpool]

when is the possible release of this bad boy?

[Avenger]

I am so looking forward to this one. Randy you out did yourself this time. Thank you kind sir another Avenger for my collection. :)

[CanadianMachine]

Oh my god, that looks awesome!!!!!! This will definantly be added to the collection.

[pmpknface]

Wow. That looks great! Excellent job!!!

[hungrydaddy]

i am not even a fan of hawkeye and I plan on getting this, it is just a great looking statue, one of the best ever in the line in my opinion. Love the base.

[superash]

I seriously considered getting a crossbow, but when I was unable to draw the 150-lb string in the store, I put it back and picked up a new 12-gauge. :)



hahaha i can relate with you.

[lord odin]

Beautiful piece!

I just hope this isn't the end for Hawkeye!

Come on, Randy!

Give us a new MB!!!
Or break out the dremel cut this in half slap on a base and call it a day.

[Sniper]

Well put and I agree, round one goes to Bowen Designs. Wait, I forgot Namor, that's 2 for Bowen Designs.
the namor I give to hard hero, the pose with the trident is boring, also diamond select went that one too so it kinda ruined that one for me. HAwkeye goes to bowen no doubt about it. Surfer sculpt I liked the hard hero and the thor I liked bowen's verion much better, I have to agree competition is great~

[to me my board!]

That Hawkeye base is the best yet - fantastic!

[wktf]

The Namor trident pose is both regal and nostalgic, for those of us who bought Sub-Mariner #1 back in the day. Hard Hero Surfer sculpt is not for me...the face doesn't work for me which is the case with the other HH pieces as well (hey, I'm happy they seem to have a strong following, it's just not for me...as I described to Dana, the faces don't seem a bit flat to me but, again, that's just IMHO). I'd give all these to Bowen, and I am not a Bowen exclussivist.

[Jesse321]

Or break out the dremel cut this in half slap on a base and call it a day.This FS could very easily be converted to a new MB by BD's ... all they need is a base.

[Rogue]

It has a great looking base! :)

Couldn't agree more and I'm on the younger scale of the spectrum, so I don't really think its a nostalgia issue. Bowen's works just "pop" so to speak, they feel real, and I think HH's feel a bit too maquette-ish (just a matter of taste). This is ever-so-evident after comparing the two Hawkeyes now.

I second that too~!! :buttrock:

[furie]

THAT IS HOT -- Who is putting this one out?

[Dj-B13]

THAT IS HOT -- Who is putting this one out?

Im very sure that this is done by Randy himself :)

[Parker]

When can we expect this to be solicited?

Will it be an exclusive or extremely limited?

I hope not...I think this is the best statue I have ever seen from Bowen

[acrylic paint]

I hate to spoil the love-in, but why all the junk on the base ? This is a supposed to be a figure study but now it looks like half of a diorama ....

[risingstar]

I hate to spoil the love-in, but why all the junk on the base ? This is a supposed to be a figure study but now it looks like half of a diorama ....


One person's junk is another person's picture of beauty...
Personally, I love the base. It's fluid, imaginative, and feels in motion. It also demonstrates versatility on the part of BD. I believe this is a sign of things to come..

[furie]

I AGREE -- I stopped buying the full statues due to space but this is a true work of art. Randy, my hat off to you brother. Really beautiful.

[Roguewarrior]

Looks like another FS statue for my wallet to absorb! Looks great. I hope that there is an Antman helmet in there some where!!!

Great Job!

[Parker]

How much do you think this will sell for?

[Bullseye]

Wow that is awesome. Cannot wait to order this.

[Jesse321]

Elaborate base ... probably $175.00.

[Bullseye]

I'd say closer to $200.

[Garrett]

When I saw the initial outlines of this I had mixed feelings about him aiming up rather than straight forward but whether the angle has been lowered a bit I do not know but that is one awesome statue I must have.

[stevex2]

It will be mine. Oh yes it wil.

[Dvdmac]

Randy has really done a fantastic job with this statue.

It is far better than the offering from Hard Hero.

This is a must have.

[Dvdmac]

I hate to spoil the love-in, but why all the junk on the base ? This is a supposed to be a figure study but now it looks like half of a diorama ....

I really thought it very unrealistic of all the other Heavy hitters from the Avengers to be toast, other than the Hawk.....but Randy said it was an interpritation.......

The sculpt is aweasome.....and I would like to see it without all the other stuff on base as well.

[farrisvt]

WOW! That is the kind of full size statue I have been waiting for. Can't wait to get it. Awsome!!

[stormshadow75x]

Hands down the best Marvel statue ....... a MUST HAVE

[Meta Jon]

I really thought it very unrealistic of all the other Heavy hitters from the Avengers to be toast, other than the Hawk.....
I just figured that the bad guy saved the push over for last :laugh:

[kirthew]

Randy asked our opinions on the base.. and thought it would be cool to have cap's shield there, Thor's Hammer... Iron Man's helmet... Ant Man's helmet... and I agree... I think it adds alot to the piece... I am sorry that some dont like it... but I think it is an awsome sculpt.. and a great base... And I hate Hawkeye... I am going to purchase it...

[lord odin]

Hawkeye beat an elder of the universe without the heavy hitters. :)

[theironfist]

As a huge comic fan I love this statue. As an Archer (for over 24 years) I have a few issues with it. I always liked the fact that hawkeyes left arm had the chainmail sleeve on it. This is used to protect your arm from the bow string. I've seen guys peel a flap of skin off there arms. I myself have always worn a forarm guard but have still given myself some killer welts from the string. But that is the minor thing, The magor thing is that he is infact hold the bowstring completly wrong. the bowstring is pulled back with 3 fingers, not 2 ( I blaim artists for drawing this wrong for years!!) A right handed person would draw the bowstring back untill his right index finger came to the corner of his moth and his thumb rest behind his jawbone right under his ear. This is the position that places the bowstring in front of the right eye for aim. I'm not trying to start anything with this post and I will be buying one for myself. I just wanted to get the technical archery shooting stuff off my chest. :)

Someone must have had creative lapse when they had written that then.

Oh well, it still is a great sculpt

I hate the fact that Ironmans helmet isn't chromed......... :laugh:

Great peice, I'm buying it and I'm not a fan of Hawkeye

As a huge comic fan I love this statue. As an Archer (for over 24 years) I have a few issues with it. I always liked the fact that hawkeyes left arm had the chainmail sleeve on it. This is used to protect your arm from the bow string. I've seen guys peel a flap of skin off there arms. I myself have always worn a forarm guard but have still given myself some killer welts from the string. But that is the minor thing, The magor thing is that he is infact hold the bowstring completly wrong. the bowstring is pulled back with 3 fingers, not 2 ( I blaim artists for drawing this wrong for years!!) A right handed person would draw the bowstring back untill his right index finger came to the corner of his moth and his thumb rest behind his jawbone right under his ear. This is the position that places the bowstring in front of the right eye for aim. I'm not trying to start anything with this post and I will be buying one for myself. I just wanted to get the technical archery shooting stuff off my chest. :)
I said basicly the same stuff at the start of the thread, nice to have another Bowman here!!

I guess the same could be said for Captain America and he`s beaten lots of powerful people.

As to the base I just love it, the only thong wrong is that as most people will display it the Captains Americas shield, Iron Mans helmet and Thor’s hammer are on the back side of the base. I would be displaying it ass in the pose on the right hand side of the original picture.

How much do you think this will sell for?
$200-$225
