CK13 and I were talking about some of the recent FS pieces to come out. My shop just got in the Mary Jane and Hawkeye. These pieces seem a little small to us, similar to Ray's new Punisher statue. Did Randy switch over to his new factory? If so, are they having a problem keeping the pieces the proper size?? I hope this isn't going to be an issue with all the future FS pieces? :banghead:

Uh oh.I had thought the MJ was ok since it fell into scale.Didnt realize the Punisher was also a small piece.Theres a trouble brewing.

my MJ statue just fine, hawkeye looks normal

punisher looks small, but it's still 12'

Ray posted some photos detailing the shrinkage of the Punisher piece which was fairly extreme...

The Punisher must be about 1/10 scale. Not even close to scale with the rest. What happened?!

Wow...I sure don't like the sound of that. Scale is "huge" with me. :eplus2: If something isn't to scale with the rest of the line, then I'm much less likely to buy it, and there are going to be alot of sculpts that I would hate to have to pass on. :redface:

The First Apprerance Punisher is puny... And its box is incredibly small, even Archangel's box is larger...
And for MJ, since she's a female, I don't think the scale is a problem...

But she's REALLY tiny. Smaller than any of the Spideys (isn't she supposed to be taller?) and noticibly smaller than Scarlet Witch as well. As for Hawkeye, he looks like if he were standing up straight, he would be shorter than Scarlet Witch also??? That can't be right. There is definitely something up with this factory being able to produce the pieces at their proper size.

I'm a bit worried as well...alot of companies I've seen are quoting some real cheap shipping prices for alot of the new Bowen statues. For instance, I was quoted 15 bucks for priority mail for the new Venom statue, when the last one cost 20-some odd dollars to ship priority. :|

Nothing wrong in my view, the Apocalypse prototype did looks larger than Thanos and that better be the size after shrinkage.

I don't think Bowen Design's can ever be right about anything anymore, the size of their FS was a complaint awhile back, and now there is this issue where their getting smaller, even on some of the minibusts there were people unhappy with the size of some being to small or to large or best yet not large enough, most I remember were saying the SASquatch mini should have ben huge, then people would say they hadn't enough room to display it, go figure?

I couldny agree with you more Mako.When Moonknight came out "Oh he's to big.He wont fit in my display case".When Thanos came out same thing.But when Bowen announce Apocalypse was going to be bigger then Thanos people were Happy. :confused2

So Maybe Bowen is trying to help us out with space issue,and we still complain. :confused2

We're going to end up putting Randy in the Nut house. :laugh:

I don't think the nuthouse he's just going to stop posting or showing sneak peeks altogether, it's not a perfect world, except from their point of view, none of them probably have a artistic bone in their bodies.
It's Sunday and I'm not the most religious guy on earth but I think I'll say a prayer for all at BD's, I hope they just remember the few on here that moan alot, are far outweighed by the satisfied non-complainer's and satisfied customer's.
I think each piece should be seen for what it is, NOT what it coulda, shoulda this bent wrong, it's to tall for my shelf or that's way smaller than i would have liked it to be, the paint color is wrong, you wold swear to God, they are all descendent's of Michelangelo.

I left collecting dc stats cause the scale was smaller than bowens...every piece i got of bowens I really enjoyed quite a lot but when i got this new punisher I really didn't want the piece..I made the mistake of preordering it because it was made by a sculptor that i know is known for his excellent craftsmanship...How can i lose!! When i saw how small it was it just took the wind out of my sails and i stopped pre ordering..from now on i will have to see before buying..my last pre orders are hulk, apocalypse and modern capt marvel..i wish there are no size issues with those..=).

what gets me is when people are bashed for pointing out things that bother them with a product they will be spending their money on...
is it complaining or "whining" to point out a statue isnt in scale with the rest of the line?????? NO! its pointing out a FACT!
i said many times before randy is an adult and knows how to handle positive and negative comments...
he doesnt need you to protect him and we dont need you calling people names on the forum,regardless what you think of the people who point out things that bother them on products they spend their money on..as long as the criticism isnt insulting or "bashing" and they dont cross that line it shouldnt be a problem ..
what is a problem is the constant name calling and it has to stop.

As much as i hate to agree with galactus, i have too on this one. When i received the Punisher 1st app an saw the sizes. Needless to say i was a little disappointed. I like mary jane but also off scale. I hope the sentinel,apocalypse,hulk are in scale cause if there not. I'll be mb completsit only.

galactus
08-27-2006, 02:52 PM
Just to reiterate the point of my thread, I have no problem with how the pieces turned out (I'm not getting them anyway). I'm also not blaming/bashing Bowen if this is the size he INTENDED the pieces to be. But the fact of the matter is that the Punisher DID come out a different size than was expected. Ray Villafane posted pics of the original sculpt vs a production piece and there was WELL more than the 10% shrinkage which I suppose is the industry acceped standard.
So, when I saw that the Hawkeye and Mary Jane appear to be a tad small (to my eyes and CK13s eyes, perhaps not others), I merely posed the question as to if the FACTORY producing the pieces is having problems, NOT that Bowen is f-ing everything up and they suck.

How would the Factory be to blame.How does Shrikage happen in production,especially that much of a diffrence from the original sculpt.

I agree with boonie..i really think randy learns more from the guys who offer constructive critisism than those that blindly just take whatever is made..In fact i think randy waits for constructive comments..why would he participate in a board that does nothing but positive reinforcement????

I'm getting my capt marvel modern on wednesday...wish me luck boys..=)..hope it's not small cause it's going to be displayed beside thanos...=)

I dont think your thread is bashing randy or bowend designs. Is a legit question on scale not bashing. If you look at hawkeye doesnt his scale look just like wolverine on the rock & the black panther. Maybe its an action pose issue. maybe the factory cant get musseum pose and action pose in the same scale.

Sasquatch is the worst of the scale offenders in the entire collection.

The difference between Galactus and Sasquatch is that Galactus' size changed depending on the amount of energy reserve he had, so his scale could be all over the place ... Sasquatch's scale is static, when Walter changed into Sasquatch he was 10 feet fall and weighed 2000 pounds.

Galactus and CK13's conversation has nothing to do with me calling anyone idiots, it's a common fact that there is always someone sitting waiting to analyze to death the next piece that comes out, sure anyone can criticize something to death it's easy, but there should be 100% more positive comments about these pieces, instead of the same as usual I wish it was this and I wish it was that, it's not, It's what it is.
Like it, buy it, if not, well that's easy.
Big G and CK13 please don't misinterped my blithering rant as an attack on you, it's the point you make, everyone was complaining about to small, to big, bent this, curve that, and on and on.
My apologies to all I offended, next time I won't be hungover on a Sunday morning when I post.

It's really kind of strange that RB isn't commenting on these issues. And please don't respond with the "He was attacked and his feelings were hurt responses". I just feel that as the owner of BD he should confirm the size issues for people that pre-order. Then he can go back into seclusion.

Not only that, but the Classic Panther REALLY compliments the Hawkeye statue as "bookends" of a sort for my "non-founding" Avengers display...with Wanda, the Vision, and Bowen's Quicksilver bust in the middle.

...it's gonna look fantastic when BD finally gets around to giving us a FS Quicksilver...*hint hint*

with what? He's smaller than the new Punisher

ironrope

He appears small because of the pose. If you remove him from his base and place him next to another character where their feet are even, you will see he is in scale( the head, hands, leg etc. should be close to even depending on the character's physical stats). I placed mine next to my Cyclops statue and found the two to be in scale with each other (Cyclops is I beleve 6' 1" and Panther is 5' 10"). Panther is about the same size as the Nightcrawler statue and they share similar stats. Check it out and see what you think.

I just looked at mine compared to Deadpool, and Dr. Strange, he is smaller.
I thought he was like that because of his base being a little bigger, but Namors base is pretty big and Namor seems to be the normal size.

Hawkeye, MJ, and Punisher appear to be way out of scale... I noticed it when I saw all 3 pieces displayed with the other BD pieces at Drew's Shop... If Drew doesnt get a chance to post pics I'll try to snap one this week... so you guys can see what we mean...

He's a big black dude, so I'd expect him to be at the bigger end of the normal human spectrum. But he's smaller than moon knight and standing spidey.

I still like it though. As a stand alone piece, it's awesome.

The classic black panther was small too.
I disagree, actually. I own this piece and have it displayed along with other Bowen FS statues. He's crouched, so he may look smaller/shorter in absolute terms but he looks proportionately in line with the other sculpts.

He's a big black dude, so I'd expect him to be at the bigger end of the normal human spectrum. But he's smaller than moon knight and standing spidey.

I still like it though. As a stand alone piece, it's awesome.
:laugh:
I really like the classic Black Panther statue, its one of those characters that is not my favorite but the statue came out so good I had to buy it!

Scarlet Witch:

Namor's heavier but not taller. How would his weight factor into the sculpt?

According to BD site, Hulk is 15.5", Red Skull 14", Mysterio 13", Rhino over 12", Warlocks 13", Black Bolt 12.5" and MJ is over 12", how does that compare to scale?

Actually Drew & I measured MJ and she is barely 12" tall with the base... She is more like 11.9" tall....

How many Momos does it take to measure a statue? TWO! One to hold the ruler the other to move the statue up and down. :)

No it doesn't and it wasn't meant to, either. It does however add a touch of humor which was the purpose. If you don't see the difference between this and "Zippo", which is clearly what you are referring to, well I'm not about to try and explain it. :p back at ya.

But she's REALLY tiny. Smaller than any of the Spideys (isn't she supposed to be taller?) and noticibly smaller than Scarlet Witch as well. As for Hawkeye, he looks like if he were standing up straight, he would be shorter than Scarlet Witch also??? That can't be right. There is definitely something up with this factory being able to produce the pieces at their proper size.

The length of the Scarlet Witch's cloak, which hides part of her legs, is greatly exagerated. Her legs can't possibly be that long!

I guess witches can do that kind of thing.
