Great comparison photos, Jason!! That's what I needed it to see! Definitely, he is small compared to the Bowen's. I like the action pose but dislike the smaller size.

Ditto. So I've decided against picking it up.

I think he looks good alongside the other two Avengers Reborn statues, but not so much on his own or with other lines.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Even though it seems smaller the pose is so killer, I wish I wouldn't have passed this by.

Thanks, the statue is beautiful and the detail is great, but not my favorite head sculpt. The face is okay, but the hair and helmet need more detail. The action pose is cool, but it makes it hard to position with other statues...sometimes it looks like he's about to take a swing at some of his buddies! Lol!

Like some of you others mentioned, the scale looks off and it does bother me at times. It's closer than you think in person, but the action pose he's in makes him look a lot smaller. I wish the sculptor would have made him taller cuz the width and bulk is definitely present.

The pose is what kills this piece for me. He's too covered up. They should have put the hammer in his other hand, then dropped his right arm down so you can see more of his face. I have decided to only buy comic book statues made by Bowen. He's the only one that can capture that true comic book style IMO.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

Look out for #1. Don't step in #2 either.

personally one of the best sets of these three out there. Reborn was one of my first sets I got into in this hobby. Koto and Erick Sosa do an amazing job with these.
