Scale of Bowen Mini Busts

What is the scale of the mini bust exactly? Is it in scale with Bowen FS?

It's really kind of all over the place. The mini busts are a slightly smaller scale than the Bowen full size statues. Some of the mini busts are "very" mini and some are noticeably bigger in scale. The Namor bust is great but on the small end while Ghost Rider is darn near full size statue scale. I have an Invaders display with full size statues and some mini busts and it seems to work.

that is kind of a tricky question. The earlier mini bust-which were armless were 6 inches high. Later busts grew arms and were between 6 to 9 inches high.

I have seen many pics of Bowen displays with a mix of Bowen FS and mini busts and they do look very good. Some collectors would put the busts on risers but I do feel they are scale appropriate to each other.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

I'd say they are generally 1/8 to 1/7 scale. They do display well with FS except for the early mini-busts that are considerably smaller.

RB said on FB a while back that FS is generally 1/7, some 1/8 and MB are generally 1/8. They usually fit pretty well with the FS. There should be some pictures in the pick up post or online of busts with FS.

Here's an old pic to give you an idea...
