Smile What is a Bowen GRAIL to you??? Share yours with the whole world!!!

Everybody has an opinion on what a "Grail Piece" is, or what it should be. But what do you think??
Feel free to express your opinion and to post proudly your Bowen Grail photos.

The way I would personally define "grail" is for a piece I would likely be very hardpressed to sell. Out of all the statues I have, i.e., Bowen, Sideshow, and so on, if I could to only keep one, it would be the Spidey bronze. Despite all the ups and downs of BD, this one remains untouchable, which says much for me as I have a tendency to sell many of my pieces after a few years to make room for newer ones.

I feel the same way. I tend to sell some of my stuff after awhile. but the ones I cannot find the heart to get rid of for one reason or another, I consider my personal grails.

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

Even though I don't own many BD pieces, I do have one piece that I consider to be my own personal grail. It is the Damian Hellstrom bust. This bust is one of the most well sculpted and beautifully detailed pieces I own and I do not plan on selling ever.

In the aftermarket, it's definitely the real bronze statues...but for many of us I think the retro Cable and the chrome museum Silver Surfer are definitive grails!




Runners up would be:

- Original museum Thanos w/ IG

- classic action Thor (w/ spinning hammer)
