She looks great paired next Thor (I owned that statue at one point in time and it is a fantastic piece)

Did she go into the base without a problem. I remember when the statue came out that I was reading that some people who purchased it had to heat it up with a hair dryer to get it to go into the base.

Thanks! It took a bit of wiggling to get her in the base. I was about to pull a hairdryer out if the last attempt didn't work.

Congrats...kept expecting the price to drop after the Thor Ragnarok movie, but that hasn't happened. One of the busts I regret letting go.

Are you going to build a Bowen Asgard display?

A while ago I sold my Captain America Bowen statue. It was the first Cap statue Randy did. Well, recently someone had one up for sale on Ebay and I regretted selling it and I placed a bid on it but not expecting to win. Well, no one bid higher than me and I ended up getting the statue for $111 (that included shipping).

The seller was advertising that he believed the autograph on the box was Randy's, which I have never seen his autograph so I have no idea if it is or not. However, when I got the statue and looked at the number, I was amazed to see that it is an "AP" with Randy's initials on it. Now I do believe that the initials are Randy's because I did own a Bowen Hulk statue before that had his initials on the bottom and they looked exactly the same. The seller never mentioned the number or the fact that it was an "AP" with Randy's initial's on it so I do think that he was not a collector.

Anyway, I was very happy to get this statue back in my collection and surprised to see the surprise at the bottom of the statue. I figure that this was sold through Rocky's Vault because I do remember at one time that you could pay extra for Randy to initial the statue at one time.

Glad to hear he's back in your collection. The initials on the base look like his. The odd thing is, I thought Randy always signed statues that he himself sculpted then would initial those that others sculpted.

Either way, you've got a nice statue. I have that one as well and it's still one of my favorites.

Well the box is signed so maybe that is why he initialed the bottom. I was never sure what Randy's policy was about signing vs initialing but now that you bring it up that does sound familiar. I know the Hulk statue I had was digitally sculpted by someone else but Randy did sculpt the head and base so maybe that is why he only initialled the 2012 Hulk variant I had owned.

I am very happy to have this back. Have a few other characters I would like to get back in my collection that I sold but will only look for ones I can get at a good deal.

Congrats, can't go wrong with a Bowen Cap.

Nah, That would be too pricey. I have a couple pieces I would like to get but the right price will be the deciding factor.

Congrats...looks like his initialing on the bottom. Not sure about the box. Cool, though.

thanks guys-I figure it was probably a Vault purchase at one point in time. (Would be nice if the Vault was still around).
