It's been really quiet on that front. I think the demand for such an assortment of characters so well made in the size is what's doing it. Koto hasn't covered much ground compared to Bowen. So many Bowen pieces still hold up today.

Randy will definitely return at some point but is there some date in the near future that he's set to return?

The word I got was once his divorce settles. It sounded messy. The other forum has been deathly quiet.

The star rating is complete garbage and disrespectful. It needs to go away.

I see, thought I'd missed some news on a return date or something.
All I'll say is since BD has shut shop, Koto has wasted their opportunity and well no one has really stepped in and filled the Marvel 1/6 void.
Tweeterhed and DC collectibles on the other hand are doing a fantastic job.

I saw the Bowen Vision statue at a local store one day. I didn't get it, but it looked very nice and high quality.

I've never held a Bowen statue in my hands. Are they heavy/dense?

For a 1/6 scale, 3-5 lbs would be my guess.

Aside from Batman, not to big on DC. It's a good sign for manufacturers tho.

It's a slippery slope. Consider yourself warned. They all depend really. Rough estimate 5-15 lbs.

I found the pic that I took. The store also had everyone's favorite custom fodder, She Dragon.

It's just great seeing a Bowen Designs piece on a shelf for sale. That alone puts a smile on my face.
I was eyeing that Bowen Vision statue for a couple of years but eventually ended up getting the Kotobukiya Vision that was released last year. Thanks for sharing

Thanks bro. Yeah this scale is an absolute joy to collect without breaking the bank too hard
