But just a general question in do you think there's a spot for Randy in the current market still?

With so many companies doing so many things, lots of people having the same licenses & the same scales, people wanting over the top details, large dynamic pieces etc...

What's it going to take for RB to come back and make an impact again?
I honestly think a lot of people are getting tired of the huge, over the top statues. They want smaller and more affordable. I know I'm one of them. One thousand dollar statues with huge, unnecessary bases, just don't cut it for me and a lot of collectors. I think Bowen would find his place quickly, if he decided to come back.

I feel exactly the same way. I miss those mini statues.

If the detail is there then 1:7 could definitely still be viable. I look at Iron studios and their 1:10 and I'm blown away how they make such small pieces look that good.

All you have to do is look at how well they're still selling on the secondary market.

My preference is Bowen Designs FS statues. They are the most comic book accurate you can find. The over the top statues you reference honestly do nothing for me. I’m a nearly 60 year old comic book lover and his true to comic book form statues are pieces that I love. My basement is full of them and I’d love some more. Hopefully I’m not a market of one.

I agree with you 150%. His statues are the most comic accurate out there

Definitely not a market of one. You got me. And I truly feel you'd be surprised just how many collectors feel the same way.

Well said and you are not a market of one. I lean heavily towards the MB’s but have my fair share of FS too and would gladly jump back on the comic accurate, Bowen Bandwagon for more in the same style and scale.
