Silver Surfer Hard Hero ?....

[Rudy]

Hi everyone. I am thinking about getting the Hard Hero surfer. I already have the bowen chrome version and love it. but not sure if I should pass on the hard hero one I would really like to know what you guys think about this piece. And could you post some pics of this piece thanks.

[Collection King 13]

I must admit that I was very skeptical about this piece when it was 1st previewed but after seeing it in person I must say that it is an amazing piece! The details are really spot on! I have been thinking about getting one myself...

[ickwinzs]

I have it and I would say to get it before its gone!!

[Rudy]

I have it and I would say to get it before its gone!!
Yeah there are only 500 made. That is a great number. I think this piece has a good potential to gain some value in the future.

[ELMI*]

I think this piece is outstanding, was outstanding and will be outstanding. So for me as a collector it has already gained high value from the very first day. :thumbs2:

[CessnaDriver]

A must have. No question.

[Sniper]

I have it and I would say to get it before its gone!!
INDEED!!ONE OF MY FAVORITE PIECES!

[Pogo4321]

Have pictures of the chrome one popped up anywhere?

Not really, but there is a clue to its whereabouts ON a HH Silversurfer that is currently listed on ebay..

I want one!

I think it's the best of all the Marvel Hard Hero statues. If you like Silver Surfer and don't mind having multiple statues of the same character, then I say get it. If you only want one, then keep the Bowen Surfer, because it's the better of the two.

Maybe this picture can help you decide.

indeed , hard hero is fare better of the two in my opinion! :sly2:

[carrillj]

A very individual opinion... :inquisiti

Wasn't the poster requesting an opinion?

Anyway, I'm sure the majority will agree with me, not necessarily on this forum, but from the following figures:

Bowen Silver Surfer - edition size 3,500 - current value $300-$325

Hard Hero Silver Surfer - edition size 500 - current value $160

:inquisiti

[Bullseye]

I think the Attakus Kirby one is the best released todate.

People pay more for what they desire the most. Do I really need to elaborate on this?!? :confused:

[Foord]

It's not really accurate to compare the market value of the 2 statues as a basis for an opinion on whether or not to purchase. Bowen's line is established in the marketplace, HH is still developing. Had Bowen produced the exact same statue as HH with the same production run of 500, it would be worth much more than the surfer from his 3,500 production run and obviously more than the 500 produced by HH, even though it would be the exact same statue. Schrodinger's cat, anyone?

My opinion, I think it's a great looking statue and right now its cheap, compared to what it could cost in the future if HH sticks around and keeps producing quality product.

[mcterrel]

IMHO, HH SS is the best SS statue available, and arguably the better investment.

Thank you guys for your opinions. I am a big bowen fan and I think bowen surfer is amazing. However from what I have seen from the HH line, they are producing some sharp and clean looking pieces and surfer is the best one IMO. HH is very new in the market and I believe if they keep producing more and more pieces with developing their desings as time passes, then this surfer piece will gain its true value and identity. Anyway I couldnt resist, already ordered this piece and I can not wait. (I have never seen it in person)

Well there you go. You asked a question and there was enough conversion here to help you make a decision.

I hope you like the statue as much as I like mine.

[carrillj]

It's not really accurate to compare the market value of the 2 statues as a basis for an opinion on whether or not to purchase.

By the way, I never said this. I was only responding to someone who I suspect owns or has a dealing with the Hard Hero European license (Elmi?).

I recommended the poster of the thread to buy the Hard Hero statue and only offered a comparison to the Bowen statue, because he mentioned he owned it.

It's what I would like someone to do for me if I ever had to make a buying decision.

[kirthew]

please don't. :rolleyes2 sheep.

Hold up.. just because someone says they like the Bowen Surfer better does not mean they are sheep.. I like it better because it is a Museum piece... (my spelling sucks) I dislike the HH because the surf board is on an astroid... it threw the whole piece off for me... Look at the DST Milestones version... That is the best Action Surfer I have seen.. I love how they did the base...

In my opinion the HH falls short... And you want to talk about sheep... Tell me that there is nothing wrong with the Captain America statue... Tell me that the Hulks head is not way too small...

Those that live in glass houses should not cast stones...

Carrilij : I do not agree with your hypocritical way of making fun of my opinion as a collector which in no commercial sense and without any specific intention - less the freedom of speach - was posted to this thread.

If you think I am abusing this Forum for some kind of primitive adverts you should write to the postmaster in order to solicitate the delete of my access code - I myself think your line above is rude and was only made to devalue my and other peoples opinion.

I was rude and made fun of your opinion? :confused: You’ve got to be kidding! Please read through the entire post again and tell me who was rude. I only answered the question of this thread and you called me out by quoting me and saying that I’m being opinionated (in turn "devaluing" my opinion). I never call people out unless they have a bone to pick with me and if it’s worth my time and effort.

I have no reason to contact the forum moderators as you say, because I have absolutely no problems with your opinions or if you sell Hard Hero Euro statues. You are free to say what you like, just as I am.

So far you have called me opinionated, rude and a hypocrite. So again, please tell me who’s out of line here? :inquisiti

I could go on, but at this point it’s not my time or effort. :rolleyes2

You know exactly what I am talking about : you are giving other members of the forum the impression - by connecting my opinion as a collector with my profession as a distributor - that I am trying to manipulate decissions one sided in favour of one certain company and by acting like this your are not respecting me as a person and as a collector and you are devaluing my opinion.

That is the point my dear and this is - again in my own opinion - rude and I am sure one day - in a quiet minute - you will understand. :mad:

Thanks a lot. I am sure I will love this piece, from what I heard so far its a great piece. Everyone says It looks much better in person than its pictures. Again,,I can not wait o see it. Unfortunately I live in UK and have to pay much more than its US price but I just could not miss this one.

You’re just drawing up false conclusions, because I wasn’t trying to imply anything you say. But, since you brought it up, isn’t it interesting how I didn’t even know you were a distributor, but from the tone and wording of your messages, I figured you were? :inquisiti I couldn’t help but to pick up on your personal biases. This is a tight little group we have here; it’s just too bad that opinions from “collectors” like myself (who have no business ties), always seem to get through the thin skins of some sculptors and distributors.

So to avoid any other disagreement like this, I guess this means I shouldn’t ever compare a statue, or worst, mention which is my favorite...right? :rolleyes2

Just imagine how fun this forum would be, if we all just kept our mouths closed. Then again, it's headed that direction anyway.

How is ELMI's opinion "biased"? He likes the HH Surfer better than the Bowen (as do I and a # of other people). The pose is more dynamic, and frankly in better scale for the Bowen Thanos than the Bowen Surfers.
And trust me, your ability to annoy folks goes well beyond just the sculpters and distributors on this site :D

Rudy,
Back to the original reason for this thread. IMO if you don't get your hands on the HH Silver Surfer, you'll regret it in the long run. Only 500 pieces and the 1st of the collection. Who knows exactly when, but this statue will become hard to find. Good luck and good collecting. ;)

[d rod]

guys, let's settle down a bit here. there will always be people who favor Hard Hero, Sideshow or Bowen. We all know that. That doesn't take away from any other company. If any of us expect that you will only get positive posts on any thread, you're dreaming. What he don't need is finger pointing or dogging an opinion only because it's not like yours. Now, if the member only posts negative opinions about any company (ie a HH fan goes in the other sections and just dogs their product and says that only HH is good), that will not be acceptable. Do note that people here will always state what's on their mind. Don't take it to heart. This is newer in this section because it is becoming more popular but for those who are not aware, many non Bowen fans do that in the Bowen section.
So, let's learn to accept that everyone will not agree with you, like what you like and not get personal. Other than that, all should be pretty good.

Excellent points Drod. It sounds fair to me. Peace to all who have posted in this thread. :)

Unfortunately, you have people here that are biased and you don't need any special powers to detect it. For quite some time I had only bought from BD because none of the others stacked up to them, at least for me. I saw the HH Thor in person and that made me track down the HH SS. To each their own, but if you look at the two besides each other, the HH SS is larger, more detailed and HE'S ON HIS DAMN BOARD! I don't want a statue of the Silver SURFER waiting for the bus to take him to the beach. BD SS looks good, but out of the two, the choice is easy. And if you score it for $160.00, you'll have done very well, it's drawing more than that. I still buy from BD because he puts out an excellent product, but HH is stiff competition and as good if not better in some cases, and sometimes just DIFFERENT. I never liked any of the DS stuff, but I recently saw the "Dark Phoenix Saga" Colossus in person and I have to admit it was well done. And I think these sculpts always look better in person than in the photo. I will be getting the whole HH line, it's more than worth it. Get the HH SS if and when you can.

Very good points. Particularly about being on his board. I have the Bowen standing and Attakus on his Board and the Attakus looks more dynamic.

[cap70]

From all SS's I've seen/owned, the HH is my favorite. Bowen SS is a very close second.

Yeah I know carrillj, I was thinking the same thing when I saw that dude's post. It's like Hello thats what an opinion is, individual,is it not? LOLOLOL
For the record,IMO Bowens wins it by a nose.They are both fabulous.

[ftrez]

I've got the Hard Hero on the way & I've never had the pleasure of seeing either in person but, to offer my OPINION, the Bowen on (with the closed fist) wins by a hair.

[wellwisher]

The BD Surfer has its qualities, but for capturing the characters look and style, the HH Surfer is by far better. The paint and sculpt are realistic, yet still have the classic comic feel. I wouldn't trade my for any other.

[Marvelfan]

Im a Bowen fan. I have HH Silver Surfer and love it. Also have HH Red Sonja which is perfect.

[Rudy]

Can't wait for SS's 1/4 scale :D

I was reading through my old threads and this one was ooold. Its funny to see there is still no SS 1/4 scale surfer in sight...:inquisiti Oh and to get back to the original reason for this thread HH marvel line went down the drains but I still LOVE my HH surfer and some others I got after that like DD, ANGEL , İRONFİST and they are all very well done. I wish HH could continue its marvel line.

[randyf]

At first I wondered why the Bowen action SS -- which is more comparable to the HH than the Bowen museum -- never came up. Then I realized the action statue had not been released when this thread started. While I'm a big fan of HH, between the two action statues I chose Bowen. All the more power to those who don't have to choose between Surfers.

[Batman29]

I think the HH Silver Surfer is the way to go. The asteroid rock base, and the detail are, to this point IMO, the best out there. I am lucky to have also nabbed the chrome #48 version of this, and also have the painted #49 version of it. As I am looking at both know, it is easy to overlook the tones of the Silver Surfer when scultping this hero.

When you see Hard Hero's, you will see the attention paid to the muscle tone in the sculpt.

[derekrodneysim]

To each his own. That's true to each individual collector's taste as well as each individual sculpt's strengths and weaknesses.

C'mon guys. Lighten up. No point getting all upset, which ultimately that's why we're on the Forum and collecting, it's for the fun and happiness of it.

[StatueItis]

Both the chrome Bowen Surfer and Hard Hero are very nice but the board carries the Surfer, the Surfer don't carry the board, so I like the Hard Hero one better for that reason.

Now if Hard Hero could just get that Marvel contract again and better yet produce a 1/4 scale line of the same quality......yeah buddy!

Honestly, you can see why I am on the high tide with the HH Silver Surfer. Outstanding sculpt, holds it's value (yes, much more than $160, and if they are out there for that price mint in a box, I will buy them immediately).

Hats off to Seth and Rob on this one.

Rob, now all you have to do is get the marvel license back and start producing some 1/4 scale, and many of us will be smiling!

Beautiful statue. If I had been collecting at the time I most definitley would have picked it up. Now it appears to be a bit too expensive.

:inquisiti

I really don't think you will find a mint in box HH Silver Surfer for $160. I have looked for sometime and never found them (doesn't mean it may not be out there). I have only seen them from $300 to $500 depending on condition, boxed or not, AP or not, etc.

[steve the meat]

Love this statue, one of my favs, i managed to get my hands on a signed AP a few months ago and it is imo the best surfer statue out there

[jimmmy]

That chrome version looks awesome!

[Batman29]

Love this statue, one of my favs, i managed to get my hands on a signed AP a few months ago and it is imo the best surfer statue out there

Ditto. Who did you get it signed by, Seth?


That chrome version looks awesome!

Thanks jimmy. It is even a bit nicer in person. If you do not know this already, here is the story behind the chrome:

Rob, owner of Hard Hero, produced 500 versions of this Silver Surfer. They were all to be painted silver, except for one of them. He decided that the one to not paint was to be made in chrome (the real thing). He also made it edition #48, which is the first appearance of the Silver Surfer in issue #48 of the Fantastic Four. Issue #49 of the Fantastic Four was the cover appearance of Silver Surfer.

I was fortunate enough to land both, along with a 9.2 Grade #48 comic. They will hopefully make a nice display.

[steve the meat]

Yeah signed by Seth

[TheMadTitan]

Seth's Silver Surfer is a wonderful sculpt. I still haven't given my hope that Hard Hero will someday make more 1/6 Marvel statues! :buttrock:

[ironrope]

I hope HH gets the Marvel license back as well, but let's keep the scale 1/6th for consistency.

[Batman29]

Yeah signed by Seth

Yes, I would like mine signed by Seth also! How did you get yours signed?

I agree if he gets it back the 1/6 scale needs to continue. I think it would be very cool thought if he added to this line a 1/4 scale, or dare a I say a 1/3 scale.

Yes, I would like mine signed by Seth also! How did you get yours signed?


I live in the UK and bought it off a fellow brit on the freaks forum, it was already signed.

Wow that #48 is a beauty! True Art

Thanks StatueItis. The pics do not do it justice, IMO, like many other pieces out there.

Note, the side shot of both surfers do not have a "dent" on the side of either head. Rather, it is smooth as it supposed to be, it is merely the way the light reflected off the umbrella, and hence the round indented look on the side of the head. I should have placed the umbrella more to the side.

Personally as a Huge Silver Surfer fan I like the HH one better because the pose is dynamic and not the typical 3/4 view standing pose.

Good point Thanos. I had to move my SS around the other day to make more room, and was pleasantly surprised the different ways it could be displayed. Part of this is due to the 3/4 view standing pose.

I know, definately cannot go wrong in attaining a mint one of these.

Great looking statue even if I don't buy HH statues.
