This is as good as Bowens IMO. And I've ordered Bowens.

A valid points, I think they may have improved the flesh tones on the paint job, but yes the ears and eyes are difficult replication, they probably should have done the eyes more squinted...

Looks like a decent piece but I'm stuck between HH and BD. What version do you guys like the best?

Got my Prince Namore Milestone today and really like the statue. It does have lots of shading on the fleshtones. The only problem is, it has paint flaws on three areas of the statue. On two areas, his shin and quadriceps, there are black flecks like you can see the resin underneath. Near the trunks, there is another area that should be fleshtone, but is a light green. I'm hoping DCBS can exchange it. There should be better quality control.

Gotta say, if this piece is as goods as the picture, it's near enough as damn it to Subby #1 cover. Have always bought Bowen, but may change for this as BD photos
don't seem to give a good interpretation for this classic cover, imho.

Here's mine, statue #423. This did not disappoint. I ordered the Bowen red trunk and black costume but passed on their green for this.

The paint and the texture on the trunks is simply amazing. It's a gorgeous work of art. I'm getting the BD version simply because I like the black outfit better. But this statue rocks. Congrats on a great piece.

Look out for #1. Don't step in #2 either.

This looks very good and I love the simple base that doesn`t take away from or add to the price of the statue.
