Keith, that's a fantastic display... years in the making. The Trinity looks great up front but all that Bowen Marvel goodness is spectacular! I tried searching for your collection thread but couldn't find it... if you have more pics posted, I'd love to check them out.

Speaking of prices, I couldn't help but notice how well busts have been selling of late... I haven't been watching them like I used to. Back in April, it looks like everything was selling... even the old busts with runs in the thousands (like the first Spider-Man, Green Goblin, Daredevil, or Wolverine).

Just checked out prices on pieces like Arcade, Ronan, Satana, Air Walker, and others... wow! That's nice to see... after the final Vault sales, I never thought we'd see good secondary prices again.

Just read through this whole thread because it caught my eye. I started with Bowen FS statues and couldn't afford much when I did. But it was around 2013 and everything I bought has held it's value or increased quite a bit, which really surprises me every time I check sold listing on the Bay.

And for those talking about enjoying the hunt, I agree. I recently went back home to visit my parents in the middle of nowhere and had a day to hang out with friends. We just drove around to a bunch of different comic shops. One of them had about 60 Bowens (FS and mini-busts) from the last few years he was in business, including some of the variants you could only get through Bowen's site (I was never part of that service). The surprising part: all were 10% below MSRP. Including Kingpin, Black Widow variant, Scarlet Witch Variant, X-Force Jean, M.O.D.O.K. etc.... I impulse bought a lot, lol.

Very cool collection you've got there nbr3bagshotrow. Always nice to see a setup with some variation.

Nice, I don't blame you. Always a bit of a rush finding the deals.

Even though prices can be high at times there are great deals out there I won Sandman Classic full-size today for 500.00 Canadian shipped off eBay. He’s normally very pricey

I'm not surprised to see prices rise.

I got out of Bowens a long time ago, but as time passes I appreciate the line more and more. I don't think we'll ever see a company more committed to the source material, or more willing to invest in a single property with the kind of depth and breadth we saw with this line.

Amen!


we will see in a few years but Chad and Tweeterhead seem to be of a similar mindset as Randy Bowen.
