DCD is OK without BD. They have a ton of talented artists that just need to be used more.

Not at all. I'm very satisfied with DCD's MB/FS production.

DCD has more than enough talented sculptors in their stable that they don't need Bowen.
The only thing they need is an Art Director who's hands aren't bound by WB/TW!  |
It sounds like a job right up your alley my friend. 
Man, we'd get some quality pieces, could you imagine if you were in charge over there?

exactly, they do not need Bowen, they just need to listen to their fans like Bowen does and stop making stupid decisions about their statues. Make a line comparable with Bowen in size. Let the artist make the decisions on their sculpt as the final product.

I think the WODCU busts and the upcoming AH CGODCU are enticing. I also thing there VS line look very good. I'd just like to see a line of museum poses of the DC universe. I think DC does just fine w/o BD.

Yeah I agree. The WODCU busts and AH Cover girls are the best lines period. The Batman Black & Whites are old and have basically run their course.
DC does not need Bowen. I would rather have Sideshow get DC than Bowen

I have the same bias for George Perez's Titans & Wonder Woman, Neal Adams' Batman, Dave Cockrum and Mike Grell's Legion, Mike Grell's Warlord, Joe Staton's Huntress, and Jerry Ordway's Shazam ... so, what's your point ... that I know quality when I see it?  :tounge:

The quality and paint work on DC Statues for the most part has never really been that good. And for a price point that consistently is at $195.00 or above you would expect much more by far for your buck.
I think that DC direct could definitely use a breath of Fresh Air and if anyone could resurrect there line its Bowen Designs... In the end Fans deserve better then what these guys have been putting out I think that even if you sneeze around a DC statue it cracks and I am not even exaggerating...
