True but the statues live on hundreds of them. There is no other manufacturer who had the scope and breath as he did. I am happy to keep plugging away at the backlog

Agreed, sad that they may no longer return at least for Marvel.

I'm with you. I will hold on to most of my Bowens forever. And every once it a while I will try to pick up some I missed as no one matches his comic accuracy. Indications are he isn't coming back, at least that's the rumors I'm hearing.

Borrow money from a pessimist, they don't expect it back.

NOOOOO - I am crushed. Bowen made the absolute best comic book statues. How solid is your rumor of him not coming back?

Which would be devastating. There`s still more Marvel characters that needed the Bowen treatment! Whichever company took over the 1:6 Marvel market better match Bowen`s production, depth and quality. As far as Bowen, if they really lose out on their Marvel production...I hope they get a DC license.

Marvel really needs to take a smarter approach to their licenses. Two companies won't necessarily produce the same set of characters, even if at the same scale. Really, will anyone touch US Agent, Spiral, Forge, Spider-Woman Julia Carpenter, etc?
Sad day for the industry if/when Bowen Designs is unable to do what they're best at.

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

I really hope they return or we can say goodbye to the less popular marvel characters being made. Be nice to have a Jubilee, Forge, Domino, Cyber, Nimrod, Brood, and numerous non-mutant characters that were vital at 1 point or another.

Agreed I will hold on to my bowens forever also. I am still actively buying pieces. I have another 20 plus I want to pick up.
We will see what happens I am hoping Bowen makes a return

bowen should make a return and should make their statues bigger this time. make it a legit 1/6 scale and everything will be fine.

That's really sad to hear. Bowen got me into this hobby and I adore the statues his company produced.
With regards to Black Panther, why the heck is this not up for pre-order yet? Doesn't it have a Feb 2016 release date?
