This piece ROCKS! I have always liked this one too,

This has always been a favorite of mine as well, and if I weren't such a cheap miserable bastard I would have bought one the instant it came out. You would think I'd be able to score a copy from DC nowadays, but I've got as much "pull" with DC as....well.... someone that has no pull.

It's a brilliant sculpt, most definitely under-appreciated in my opinion.

umm ok I never saw this piece before and now I feel that I must have one! He looks awesome!
Anyone have a pic so I can see the size? I saw that it's 9.5 inches tall, but it's just hard to imagine what it would look like in my collection.
Any help would be most appreciated.

I didn't mean it got panned, it's just not too popular that's all. I never heard anything negative about it at all.

I ordered that statue the moment I saw it (about 3 months ago) with only a vague recollection of the character. I had no idea who had done it but had to have it. That is one GREAT statue. Lobo can dominate and he can do it sitting on his a$$.

The Lobo statue is one of my very first DC Direct pieces. Easily one of their best releases. Killer sculpt and details! Bravo!

A good Lobo comic is like comedic poetry from hell. Bloody over the top high violence and dark humor, with little redeemable or defendable content.

A welcome break from all the hero do gooder comic characters.

It is what it is.

I love Lobo. sniff

This has got to be one of the very best comic statues out there. The pose is so freaking perfect!! So much of this character is captured in his pose. Awesome job!!

That is amazing, I'd never seen this one before. How big was the edition size? When was it produced?

look this piece


I like this one too. Is it also done by Wm Paquet? I know he doesn't like arms on his busts so maybe, but I've never seen this before either.

That bust is not mine. I think the guy who posted it may have sculpted it.

I think the one I did was an edition of 1000. I'm not positive though. Sculpted about five years ago.

1000 is correct.

I've still seen him on an online store a while back and on the bay now and then.

Love that statue!:thumbs2:

I think it has to do more with the character as well, not too many fans of lobo out there. Even the one `randy did for d.c is not too popular with statue fans.

Agreed that Lobo isn't the most popular character, but the Bowen piece isn't near the quality this piece is.

This Lobo whether your a fan of the character or not is an awesome piece to display IMO.

I like this one way better than the one Randy did, the whole reference to the art work is perfect. I just made the point that now anything bowen sells for more and that piece doesn't really go for more than 150 tops. At that was even 4 years ago when people were snatching up everything bowen
