Rocky's Vault is done!

Just got the following message:

Well folks... Thank you all for all your support over the years... This is the end of a chapter, but the beginning of a new one for Bowen Designs.

We'll be closing up shop, for the time being, on December 31st, 2015.

We've emptied the Shopping page on Rocky’s Vault, and will not be taking additional orders.

If you've got pending orders... Don't worry... we are still working on filling them. It's taking us a little longer because we're short staffed.

There will still be some Auctions going; but after that - we're done.

We look forward to serving you again in the near future with more of the same type cool stuff we've made available over the years.

Sometimes life just happens... Once the dust settles and we've had a chance to re-group, the plan is to come back swinging.

Thanks Again!

Randy Bowen

Randy was a pioneer in this hobby. I wish him all the best and look forward to what the future has in store.

True, but he's apparently not in any rush to do so or even let us know what the potential return plans are. More Marvel? DC? His own generic made up creations??

Everybody just keep hanging in there.... indefinitely!

Can't wait to see Bowen back after the dust settles. I miss their statue releases the most.

I still have some pending transactions so hopefully they get shipped before Christmas.

Personally, I have mixed feelings about the news. Part of me feels sadness but the other part feels a sense of relief. At least, we don't have to wait for a definitive answer anymore. Obviously this chapter for Bowen Designs is coming to an end but life goes on. Whatever the future brings, I will always have great respect for Randy and his work. I wish him and his family the best of luck. I'm sure that we will see more of him at some point.

Godspeed RB!
