Hard Hero for me.

The DST version is a bit more cartoony with man-boobs. The lighter/paler paintjob on the Bowen version and the facial expression make him look vampire-like.

HH: love the paintjob. The facial expression shows an angry Namor poised to attack. Even the base is simpler than Bowen's, Hard Hero Namor wins out.

Of the ones you're showing I have to pick HH. Boy you can really see how pink BD's paint app is on this piece. I like the BD BLACK NAMOR the best of the ones that are currently out though.

Interesting, this is perhaps the first time when the BD version is my least favorite of a group. The HH probably wins out for me here, followed by the DST. The BD base is cool but I prefer the DST sculpt.

I just got my Black Namor today and I wish I would have went with Hard Hero. As mentioned elsewhere, the paintjob on Bowen's isn't what it should be. I also don't like the sharp angles on his face on my Bowen. I just couldn't have a naked man on display. The black costume won just based on the costume, but Hard Hero looks like the better statue from the pics.

Hard Hero seems to be the winner. The pose is just right without looking awkard like the other two from diamond select and Bowen. I always find it ridiculous to have the legs wide open when in a standing pose even though the sculpt is trying to be comic accurate. The Bowen's base is too complicated for my liking, something simple like the one from hard hero is sufficient IMO.
