Interesting I own the modern version and my friend the retro I thought both were really nice. The clear version is a bust though.

Black Bolt looks way better in person. Actually a damn nice statue. Pictures do make it look awful though

I agree, both sets of Reed and Sue looked dated or just plain off. IMO, the last museum Thing and translucent Torch were excellent though. Just need a good Reed and Sue to complete my FF set.

I know this is a character the Bowen line has done many iterations of, but I would love to see a new Spiderman featuring a classic/iconic pose. Bowen releases did a great job capturing iconic poses, which IMO, is one of the reasons the Bowen brand was and is still the high water mark for statues. Spidey needs an update in an iconic pose. Outside of the bronze piece, none of the other Spidey releases from Bowen capture this type of feeling.

Come on Bowen, his Queen is arguably the best female Bowen ever and towers over her King in every way. And yes, I own both.

Also, I would love to see a Museum Phoenix by Tim Miller.

Psylocke. While both of the last releases were ok, I thought the face sculpts could have been done a lot better.

I hope Bowen gets the Marvel License again as I always loved his work. I also hope that many long time collectors aren't disappointed when he releases new sculpts of the blue chip characters, which he will. We will see Hulk, Cap, Iron Man, Spidey, Wolverine, etc. as those are what pay the bills. I am sure the less popular characters will be released but I would think they would trickle out with the flow of more popular Marvel characters.
