Diamond done with Marvel license for statues and busts?

[madjazz]

I am not sad to see the glut of DST product dry up.

Maybe they will restore Bowen pieces to their Featured sections and retail point of sale posters now that their own conflict of interest is gone.

I actually think some will go up

well thats funny. well theres some pieces ive been wanting to get so yay for me. lol although i thought maybe itd be like bc says and some would go up.

I have a few statues from them and love each one. I hope the next company who gets the license does a better job though. DST had alot of misses but, thier hits were awesome!
So, I guess this means no Mcfarlane Hulk.
I hope somebody will make one in the near future.
Maybe Hard Hero will finally get some more sculptors and produce more.

Boy this sounds one sided. I should also mention that the Milestones Captain America is one of my favorite FS in my collection.

They put out a Wolverine standing on skulls that was also a pretty cool piece.

I do think they had more misses than hits, but their hits were great.

I don't know but this is an interesting situation.On oen hand I like it because if I had to see one company go I'd rather it be DST than HH , SS or BD . The staue market is getting very saturated, and its good to cull the weak as Apoc would say.
DF still makes things right?
The marvel milestones line has been very solid and they have had some incredible busts, but I'd say the majority of what they have released was not so good.

This leaves a void since the Bowen contract is for busts and statues over 6 and 12 inches respectively. Diamond had the medium size (8 inch) figures and shorter busts licenses.

As much as I like to give DST crap, you are 100% right on this point. A company who was never afraid to release lesser known female characters.
