Wishing for reprints of some of the mini-busts

I would want Bowen to reissue some of the really hard to find mini busts. There are busts that you simply cannot find on Ebay or if you find them prices are outrageous. For example:

Hela mini bust
Iron Man first mini bust (the one with no arms modern)
Enchantress mini bust
Warbird mini bust

Also some sets (also very scarce and ultra expensive) would be great if they could be offered as singles:
Guardians of the Galaxy
Wrecking Crew
Warriors Three

I'd be curious to hear opinions. Plus these are the ones I've looked for as a Thor/Avengers collector. For sure there are others I'm missing.

I’m not in favor of reproducing any statue or bust once it’s been sold out. It defeats the purpose of it being a collectable to begin with, just look at Dc direct or Dc collectables as I think there called now. That’s all they do is rerelease stuff and I haven’t even looked at there products in years because of it. Besides that I’m of the opinion that because of his divorce all of Bowen Designs had to be dissolved so I’m guessing that all the original molds for those busts are destroyed.

Hopefully he will come back and could potentially revisit a lot of his Bowen Designs work, so in a way never say never I guess.

Nope...no reissues. Another release as in a different sculpt? Sure, but no reissues. Primus is probably right anyway...I'm not sure a reissue would even be a possibility.

Absolutely no reissues whatsoever. That’s the point to collecting and if you missed out too bad. It kills our hobby almost as bad as knock offs. Totally against it

Could not agree more if you reproduce it, then its not a collectible. I am 100% against reproduction any statues/busts even when they repaint them (DC direct is notorious for this.)

You can do a whole new sculpt of the character and or bust.

While I know it stinks when you miss it and have to pay a higher price but that is what makes it a collectible.

I can't see Bowen doing reissues. He understands the nature of this as a collectible hobby and just wouldn't do that.
