These all look great! Hopefully they'll be released separately though, as I don't want all of them. And I knew the Kuchareks' style was similar to Randy's, but damn. The classic and retro look like the phase 1 busts with arms.

High Lord Apocalypse
01-16-2007, 03:34 PM
Do they have a website?

are you talking about the k.bros? if so i don't think anyone but randy know how to get in touch with these guys. they're probably lurkers on the forum.
i doubt bd will give you their info either.

I like the variety:thumbs2:

RichBamf

They all look superb, but that Silver Centurian looks absolutely top notch!

If that Silver Centurian bust doesn't prove that a FS should be made i don't know what will!

01-16-2007, 03:47 PM
The Kbros kick so much ass it's not even funny. I'm passing on all of them because I'm cutting back but they all look great.:thumbs2:

01-16-2007, 03:50 PM
Well, all those that missed or wasn't into Bowen at the beginning. There is your ''modern'' Iron Man mb. The rest are great if your a big Iron Man fan. I have the earlier one but will pick up the ''modern'' for display. All look great, just that my money is tight. And I am not the biggest Iron Man fan, like him don't love him. Now his rouges gallery? Great stuff there. Spymaster/Force/Sunturion/Blizzard/Blacklash all need to be busted!!!!!!!!

Mastermold
01-16-2007, 03:53 PM
Very cool! I know I'm at least getting the classic sculpt! Maybe one or more of the others too.

boobhound
01-16-2007, 03:55 PM

Um, no............once again this chrome looks great. But, do you have Frankie Raye Nova or Deathmask Archangel yet? No. Why? The chroming process. It does look nice and purty. But, it's a b!tch to do. If there not painted, I won't be buying any. Although I only see me buying 1 maybe 2 anyhoo. :)

Awesome!

Fannymac
01-16-2007, 04:05 PM
Gotta admit, I'm underwhelmed, maybe because I've got one of the original Phase I busts.
Didn't one of the original drawings show him with him arm extended, shooting one of his power blasts? I think that would have looked a lot better than this muscle flexing pose!
Also, I guess I was hoping for something a little more exciting when it comes to sneaks......after redo's of Daredevil, SpiderMan and now Iron Man, things are getting a little ho-hummy!!!!!:rolleyes2
Bring on sneaks of Ms. Marvel, Scorpion, Stingray, Black Knight and anything else new!!:thumbs2:

Jameshowlett
01-16-2007, 04:07 PM
Wow Bowen really did an awesome thing having so many different versions of IMs armor. I was way surprised to see the IronMan 2020 version.
I'll be getting all of these. I wonder if there will be a club exclusive?

Yes, you're correct. One had his left arm straight up and another had it out stretched in front.

Randy,

Will any of these be made into FS?

Sniper
01-16-2007, 04:10 PM
I will pick these up!!! I should sell off my original ironman and get the ones with the arms, but damn that original one looks really great....

Boobhound, I'd like to see you resist buying one just because its chrome.In fact, I'll make you a bet that if they are done in chrome, you'll cave in sooner or later. Sure its a pain in the ass, but IMO its well worth it.

I will pick these up!!! I should sell off my original ironman and get the ones with the arms, but damn that original one looks really great....

I wonder how low the original will sell at once these hit the market. Probably drop at least 80.00 in price if not more.

01-16-2007, 04:12 PM
FRIGGIN' AWESOME!!!

Yeah, I missed on on the other IM the 1st time, so now I'll have the new "classic" one and then some!

http://www.bowendesigns.com/images/pagecontent/Classic%20Iron%20Man.jpg

I was hoping "future" mean IM 2020! SWEET!!!

http://www.bowendesigns.com/images/pagecontent/Future%20Iron%20Man.jpg

Silver Centurion has been called for as much, if not more, than any other variant:

http://www.bowendesigns.com/images/pagecontent/Silver%20Centurion%20Iron%20Man.jpg

And we get the stealth too? NICE!!!

http://www.bowendesigns.com/images/pagecontent/Stealth%20Iron%20Man.jpg

And I'm with boobhound on the chroming. They can be "shiny" without being chromed. There is a difference, and I'd rather have them just shine and e on time than be super-shiny and 6 months late.

Was the Iron Man Mini-Busts title right above the pictures not clear enough?

MaxGoof
01-16-2007, 04:14 PM
I love these mini-busts! LOVE them.

Stealth and Silver Centurion are must-buys. I'm not familiar with the Future Iron Man. What story is that one from? Kinda weird that there's no modern Iron Man armor, but what's there is awesome.

riderV3
01-16-2007, 04:14 PM

I am no fan of Iron Man, but i always loved IronMan 2020 cause of EarthX and have to get him. Silver Centurion is the Iron Man i first read growing up and might have to get that one as well.

Rome
01-16-2007, 04:23 PM
WOWAWEEWA!!

NOW THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.
AWESOME!
I will get them all.

I must that the mb of the classic captures the Iron man look even better than the bd full size.

I LOVE THEM:buttrock: Nice job K bros.

future Iron man actually appeared in a Spider-man annual. I guess that book had such a lasting impression that even today people remember that version of Iron man.
It was Arno Stark who was a relative of Tony Stark who designed and wore a future Iron man suit. The book was memorable because Spider-man kicked IM's ass all over the place in that book.

In light of how they are treating SM in the comics today,..I really want to immortalize that version.

BadLuv
01-16-2007, 04:34 PM
Silver Centurion by far the best. Not to much into the Future IM.

stormshadow007
01-16-2007, 04:34 PM
oh boy oh boy oh boy, these are all nice.....i'll be definitely getting all except the future version...not familiar with that one but may end up getting it just to complete the set....

from the look of the bases, are these going to have the same risers as the original iron man bucket head mini bust?

armitage
01-16-2007, 04:39 PM

I'll passs on the Future IM though.

The K-Bros are the best thing BD has going for them. They all look great.

OOHH hell yes, iron man over load. I'm getting all of these maybe even double.

imthkman
01-16-2007, 04:45 PM
I'll take one of each please. I missed out on the modern version in phase one, and now I'll be able to have him. SC is the one I want the most though. They look great. SWEET!!

Future IM also appeared in the Machine Man mini series drawn by Barry Windsor Smith in the late '80's. I think that may have been his first appearance.

RichBamf
01-16-2007, 04:58 PM
I'm glad that everone loves the 2020 version, but does this seem to anyone else like a decision way out of left field?

I only ask because four versions is a strangely large number of alternate busts, and normally Bowen sticks to the regular continuity.

just wondered who else found it a little strange.

JavOner
01-16-2007, 04:58 PM

I'm a fan of chrome, but is to much of a pain in the a$$. I just dont think bowen has gotten one right in chrome. A shinny paint job would be best, like vindacator.

IM 2020 first appearred in the MACHINE MAN mini by BWS back in the 1980's. He's actually Arno Stark, not Tony. But he's since appearred in that Spidey annual and the Earth X series.

That's a whole lotta Iron Man! GJ on all of them. Although I'm not a huge Iron man fan, I've got the Classic FS but I'll be going for the Silver MB, chrome or not!

tuv1305
01-16-2007, 05:07 PM
As much as I love the new DD busts, I thought they suffered from being 3 versions in the exact same pose...so I'm pretty happy to see each of these changes it up a bit from the next. I'll be getting one of each and love the looks of that 2020 armor.

pmpknface
01-16-2007, 05:12 PM

Kirbyfan
01-16-2007, 05:38 PM
Pass!! I'm sort of underwhelmed with these. Maybe because I like the original costume and sliver age 'pointy' mask versions better. The 2020 armor is pretty cheesy to me. But by the look of this thread I'm definitely in the minority.

Gatekeeper2Hell
01-16-2007, 05:44 PM
I'm sure that these are as nice as everyone seems to think these look.

I'm just extremely underwhelmed that there are so many different versions being made, and I still won't be able to get the sentient Iron Man armor drawn by Sean Chen. :thumbsdow Sorry

bat_collector
01-16-2007, 05:53 PM
The modern, silver centurion, and stealth may be buys. But I'm not a huge iron man fan, so maybe not.

I already have a retro, why spend money on another bust.

The "future" is an aweful armor. I'll pass on that one.

Sam Wilson
01-16-2007, 05:55 PM
I can't wait to see them painted. I'd have to say I'm down for all of them...

Zodach
01-16-2007, 06:24 PM
I definitely won't be buying all of these. I think I will stick with the Classic and Silver Centurion, but I'll wait until they're painted to make a final decision. I was really hoping to see some more dynamic and different poses with the arms, but they all look so similar.

XSE
01-16-2007, 06:26 PM
Classic only for me....I still want the original but just don't have the cash to shell out right now. If anyone knows of an origianl IM mb for sale let me know.

Tony Coca
01-16-2007, 06:27 PM
great choices.Love the Silver ceturian,Future,and stealth versions.

VaultMan
01-16-2007, 06:31 PM
Hell, IMHO if you have the Iron Man FS Retro, you have the best of the lot.

Still, I might go with the classic and retro MB. No love for the silver version though...still painted up, they might be really really cool.

moon_knight1971
01-16-2007, 06:44 PM

I will take that bet my friend. You are ''talking'' to the one person probably on here that does not care for chrome on my mini bust. Now a 1950 Mercury with a ''chopped top''? Chrome the beeyotch from top to bottom and front to back. On my busts? Paint. Good 'ol fashion paint! :buttrock:

whd
01-16-2007, 07:52 PM
I'll be getting one of each of these, except maybe Stealth, and that will complete my Iron Man bust collection. I'm especially looking forward to the Arno Stark version, which I never would have guessed would be made. :buttrock:

Absolutely freakin' awesome! I can't wait to see these painted. I was away from comics for a long time and am totally unaware of when these costumes made their appearances but I'm probably going to pick all of them up. That 2020 version is amazing.

he was in the Machine Man 4 issue mini series first- #2 is the first appearance of arno stark. (i am 99% sure)

I hope not. They made only 500 of the Iron Man 2020 bust from Alex Ross' Earth X and it does very very well on the secondary market, suggesting that there is more of a demand than just 500.

The Fog
01-16-2007, 10:34 PM
Getting all of them.
Which one will be an Exclusive?
Maybe all on my shelf for Christmas 2008???
Can't wait for the B&M session after the paint pic's are up.
Randy I wanted this, Randy I wanted that, here we go!!!
Silver Centurion Bust with Chrome, maybe a good choice, but RB can make the decision?

01-16-2007, 10:37 PM
Just so we pin this down... here's the chronology I just read on good 'ole Arno, Mr. IM 2020:

http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix/ironman2020.htm

It is extremely difficult to piece together the chronology of Iron Man 2020, given the fact that all but like two of his appearances involve time or dimensional travel. Many of the appearances involve him being pulled from an unspecified point and then being returned without much further detail.

According to the issues, The Machine Man series took place b/t September 23-25, 2020, though these events may turn out to be topical.
When he showed up in F4#405, he said "Where is Machine Man? The blast should have destroyed him! The metal monster was standing right in front of me moments ago!" However, as he has apparently battled Machine Man on multiple occasions, this does not definitively lock the appearance as occurring during Machine Man II#3 or 4.
When he appeared in Paradise X, he commented that he had just killed Machine Man, so perhaps that represents a later appearance, or perhaps he only thought he had slain Machine Man. In addition, as it was eventually revealed that not all of the Heralds were whom they were initially thought to represent. Spider-Girl was not her exact counterpart from Earth-MC2, and Hyperion was from a much darker future than Earth-S. Who even knows about Deathlok? That chronology is such a mess--I'll try to see if I can weave it together in the Deathlok profile that's not too far off. So, it may be that this is not the same Iron Man 2020 that we have seen.
At any rate, the Heralds are:
Bloodstorm of Earth-Mutant X, counterpart to Storm/Ororo Monroe, who had been turned into a vampire from Dracula's bite
Deathlok, possibly Deathlok the Demolisher of Earth-Deathlok, or possibly just another counterpart to him (who can tell with the way no one gives a rat's @$$ about continuity
Hyperion, a counterpart to Hyperion of the Squadron Supreme of Earth-S, who had seen most of his former allies slain
Iron Man 2020, or a counterpart
Killraven, possibly the original version of Earth-Killraven, but possibly a counterpart as well.
Spider-Girl, a counterpart to the version from Earth-MC2
Wolverine, either the version of Earth-Days of Future Past, or a counterpart
They were organized by X-51 of Earth X, the counterpart to Machine Man
To be honest, I didn't give Paradise X much time, as I had lost interest in the trilogy around the second issue of Universe X.
Spider-Man/X-Men: Time's Arrow: The novels are not official canon, though there is nothing to exclude them from chronology, either. They have WAY less continuity snafus than half of the series out now, but that's neither here nor there. Unfortunately, since I'm writing this after the Spidey-Pedia came out, I didn't remember to include it in that publication. But I will for the future, let me assure you!
The one-shot Iron Man 2020 seemed to represent a turning point for Arno, in which--with the aid of Howard (Tony Stark) and Micky--he might have gone on to become a real hero, after all. Perhaps that issue takes place as the most recent in his chronology, with the others preceding it, but it could also be that his attempt to be a hero fell flat, and he continued to be the cynical capitalist he had been before.

these all look great - put me down for eon of each and hopefully an exclusive or two.

And maybe I can go back and get the original BD modern mb as it will drop in price significantly IMHO

Question. Was the Silver Centurion costume the one he wore in the West Coast Avengers? If so, what is the "backpack" shown on the bust? That item doesn't appear on his back in WCA #1.

I'll get either the classic or retro.

I would have liked to see a Tony Stark Change-o-head variant on at least ONE of those. You know, the face plate off revealing Tony's face underneath? That would have been cool...

I would bet that Iron Man 2020 is the exclusive of the bunch.

I really hope these ARENT chromed.

They all look superb, but that Silver Centurian looks absolutely top notch!

If that Silver Centurian bust doesn't prove that a FS should be made i don't know what will!

EXACTLY!!!!

Future IM also appeared in the Machine Man mini series drawn by Barry Windsor Smith in the late '80's. I think that may have been his first appearance.

That was a GREAT series! Herb Trimpe actually pencilled & Smith inked. He may have done the final issue without Trimpe.

Yes. He had a backpack when it debuted in The Invincible Iron Man #200. I was happy to see the attention to detail given both SC & Stealth. Way to go guys!

Other than the extra wait-time it takes to be chromed, why not?

I want them all too :buttrock:

But don't worry, i have the idea that the modern version may have his chance to arrive as a bust in 2008.
After all, in 2008 the Iron Man film will arrive with probably a lot of Iron Man bust and statues from a lot of compagnies like Bowen Design ;)

At Least Chrome The Iron Man 2020, That Would Go With My Earth X Bust Of Iron Man. Now That Was One Excellent Bust.

I am in for all of them, in fact, the Iron Man busts already released is wha tgot me into Bowen Busts. I love all the different versions of the armor (well, up until the last few years where every artist felt they needed to redesign the suit).

I hope to see his Space Armor and Deep Sea suit, along with the "Nose" variant!

I'm a fan of chrome, but is to much of a pain in the a$$. I just dont think bowen has gotten one right in chrome. A shinny paint job would be best, like vindacator.

Uh.....hate to break it to you, thats Chrome on Vindicator.:laugh:

They all look pretty good to me ... K. Bros rarely disappoint but why would you do the future Ironman version ???
I would have gone for the current version or the version that 1st appeared in IM #256

That's the only one I'm really not familiar with. I'd rather see the Hulkbuster armor, but that would've required a different sculpt. The future was probably an easier tweak.

Don't want to be a hater - but doesn't Iron Man already have like 20 busts of him out there.

Why is Bowen doing this when there are so many other characters in the Marvel cache that needs to be busted? Personally I would like to see Venom, Marvel Girl, or even another Ghost Rider busted before I spend money on yet another Iron Man. :mad:

This looks like a gimmick for Bowen to cash in and reminds me of the comic industry's downfall of the '90s when they had 5 covers of X-Men #1 and all that mess.
