Posts/Threads removed?
I know RB doing some different stuff now. We will have to see what the future holds.
Why all the old posts and strings eliminated?

I think the viewable threads default to those with activity the last 100 days. You can change it with "Display Options" at the bottom of the page.

Seeing so few threads is a sad reality check with Bowen's departure.

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

Rumor has it that Randy will be back with Marvel.

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

Where did you get this rumor?
I really want to believe it, but I am very doubtful that this will happen.

From two different sources; I can't swear that they are 100 % sure though.

Here's an interesting quote I found for the public's eye:
"Bowen Designs is gone. Randy will be back though! He's working with some major companies to get back in the saddle making your FAVORITE Marvel superheroes. These are the LAST of what was Bowen Designs. As a friend of Randy's, I'm glad to know he'll be back. As a FAN of Randy's? I'm VERY glad to know he's coming back"
So from that, I take, RB is going to be working for other companies sculpting Marvel characters, not his own company. Bowen Designs is a closed chapter. Wonder who this company or companies is/are? Sideshow? His buddy Mark Newman sculpts for them. XM Studios? Kucharek Bros. jumped on the bandwagon...maybe RB inquired? DC? Maybe he'll head up DC's 1:6 scale statues? It's all rumor though till it actually happens or the man states it himself...we'll see!
Just glad he's making moves to come back into the fold...the industry needs it's OG!

Randy's famous for the 1/6 market and the only one that's really into the 1/6 market is Koto. Not sure I can see Randy going from a multi-million dollar company to sculpting for a company like Koto. Maybe he'll be sculpting for SS and they handle all the manufacturing/distribution and Randy gets a piece of the action? I sure hope it's true though as there are some pieces we need with his touch.

Maybe DC Direct? He's been linked with DC for a while and they have a 1:6 scale market. Though all signs are pointing to him doing Marvel work so maybe his buddy Mark Newman is converting him to the 1:4 market at Sideshow? Or Bowen Designs' loyal sculptors, the Kucharek Bros, put Randy on at XM Studios? XM seems to be the only company that will do other than A-list characters...so maybe? Kotobukiya? IDK, but I think I remember hearing Erick's days may be coming to a close with Koto so maybe RB replaces him? Doubt it, I just don't see the connection there...even if they produce 1:6 Marvel statues. Koto just doesn't seem to be his style because they have a bad rep with quality and never seem to produce the lesser known characters. You never know though...lol!
