I'd put the two Psylocke statues on equal footing, but the Bowen Colossus beats the Koto one in my book. I think what makes all the difference for me is the face on the Bowen statue, and the overall quality of the piece (paintjob!).

Let's not forget about the Spider-man statue that Erick Sculpted. Compared to the plain ones that Bowen has, this statue is sick. Also the upcoming Venom and Hulk statues look like they're gonna be amazing too! KOTO AND ERICK SOSA ROCKS! Nuff said.

Eric is great! That goes without saying. The fact that Bowen had him sculpt the first Deadpool statue and the Blue Beast says it all. I don't think the two entities (Eric's Koto pieces and Bowen statues) need to necessary be mutually exclusive in terms of valuation.

Just received the Bowen Magneto not long ago and I find it to be a perfect fit with the DRS (I bought Cyclops too)
I really hope Erick creates a few more before his apparent departure to other projects...Iceman, Rogue, Storm, etc..too many to list!

Congrats! I'm sure you'll love your Gambit!
Unfortunately Eric did make a pretty incredible Rogue statue that Koto decided not to produce
