close comparison (for me).

On the Bowen Hulk, the whole abdominal and pectoral region is "off".
Muscles wouldn't look like that at all. The striations and form are not
correct, and that is enough to distract me when seeing that statue.

This is NOT to impune the effort and work put into the Bowen Hulk(s)
at all, as the sculptors are still totally friggin' awesome, but for me, the
Attakus Hulk is the single best Hulk statue ever made.

Best musculature, expression, and finish I've ever seen on ANY male human
form statue, period.

And the amazing thing is that it looks even BETTER in person than the
pictures I've posted!

Don't get me wrong, I really like that Hulk Movie statue and I think Attakus prob puts out if not THE highest one of the highest quality pieces out there.
But how can ya bad mouth the Bowen Hulk. That's is a PREFECT piece created by the Shiflets in their own style. I personally am a big fan of theirs and love the way the hulk looks. Only real problem I have with it is that I feel it's too small. To me, it's a GREAT SAVAGE Hulk.
Now I want a more updated smart one & a kirby one.
A smart I would put into the hands of either Sosa or Cleary, and a Kirby I'm not sure who.

And I LOVE the sculpt AND paint on this Hulk.

The hulk and abomination are unbelievable pieces...but I don't like the bust too much..=)..It's just way to striated and vascular..did the same person make all of them..=)

The attakus hulk is excellent in size and body sculpt is perfect..I don't like the face and hair..

The Dst is the best looking for me in all proportions..even if the head looks a little too small

I haven't seen the old bowen hulk but according to that pic JSA posted the anatomy is waaay off the abdominal area isn't even close..I'm sure mr. bowen will Improve on that greatly with the upcoming new hulk..I can't wait to get the new bowen hulk and the hard hero hulk..=)

I think i will pass on the attakus and the hulk # 1 of Mr. bowen...=)

I like the paintjob better on the Bowen, and I prefer the head on the Bowen better to this one. That said, I like the muscle detail and pose better on this Hulk. Very cool piece!
