So are you saying that prices are going up due to the scarcity of the item?

Yep. At least on these pieces.

I agree. I think the longer Randy and crew stay out the game the the higher the prices will rise. Randy is like a famous painter or artist. When he is no longer producing sculpts then what is out there will go up in value. This is all market demands because when something is scarce the price will go up. I never bought my collection to turn a profit but its a nice feeling to know that what I bought is actually worth something. Now I can tell my wife that her $300 dollar purse is worth less than my $300 statue and mine has increased in value while hers has not. I guess comic aren't a waste of money.

What I see the prices was dropping down a bit, but the last three weeks of searching for some particular Bowen statues the prices are rising back up a bit on them.

The well done Bowens are never going to go down like the retro Cable. I sort of like the 1/6 scale because I can fit 4 of them in place of 1 1/4 piece. It will be glorious when Randy makes a come back.

Plus I notice other statue don't seem to last as long as Bowen statues. Bowen statues stay in Mint condition.

Just noticed the Bowen Designs website is now gone. This doesn't bode well for the future.

Didn't you hear? They changed the business name to Randy's Resin Rodeo!

Maybe it's a company thing from the divorce and he has to start a brand new one.

Either way it's a strong sign Bowen Designs as we knew it is likely no more. If we see Randy back in the statue game down the road my money is on it being something completely different and the existing Marvel line will not be expanded upon.
