I WISH I had a chrome Collossus FS by Bowen! I guess you'd call that one of my long-term goals, that and a Bowen FS Dark Phoenix. But I've got too many other projects going on right now.

Here's how the chrome Astonishing Collossus compares with the other Astonishing busts. He's a really big bust, especially compared to Kitty next to him!



Here's how he compares to the FS Phoenix H20 Bowen and the Astonishing chrome Wolverine bust:



A big guy! Like I said, I love this chrome Colossus. I just need to add a chrome Bowen FS to my collection, too.

I don't really care about the original Astonishing Colossuse, but the Chromed one kick butt.
I gotta say the Colossus Memorial Bust is still THE BEST Colossus sculpt out there! A must have for Colossus fan

Don't I know it! I've never seen one in person, but I've seen that big sono***un on eBay. Now THAT's a huge bust! But the only ones I've seen on eBay (which aren't many) have been about $250. One of these days, I'm going to have to buy one when I've got the extra funds. I love the look of that bust, if only I could find one

I agree. That's a great Wolvie IMO, although he does seem to have a bit of a tan

You know what? I think the word system trying to block is f-a-g...
Don't tell me you don't know this word, it's a very disrespectful for homosexual male... bad bad bad.

I should have been able to figure that one out! Duh! That's probably a sign I need to go to bed

Thanks for the pics, rilynil. They look pretty nice all together, and especially on those sweet risers. I need to pick me up some of those babies. The pic of him next to Phoenix gives me a pretty good size comparison, since I do have her. I'll definitely look for a deal on this Colossus eventually to go with my BD FS Chromie version.

I actually got my Astonishing Chrome Colossus for $52 + shipping ($10). I've watched them as they pop up (and will grab another for a good price to pass on to other boardies).....but the last one went for $86 + shipping.....I just happened to nail it on the right day
