Now obviously a person can price their item at any price they want to, not every statue is a gold bar that commands top dollar.

I sold a bunch of Bowens in 2015-2016. It took me a while but I just bought back all the ones I wanted. Some of them I had to pay a lot more than I sold them for but that’s part of the game. To be honest selling and rebuying made me appreciate the rest of my Bowen collection. These aren’t $150 statues anymore and they shouldn’t be.

Still to this day, Bowens line of marvel statues gives me more joy collecting than anything else. Theres always gonna be a strong market for these things and as decades pass they’re only gonna get harder to find and more expensive.

Unfortunately, the man himself hasn't confirmed that he's coming back. Until he does, it's all just speculation.

Bowen is what got me into collecting....I still have a good amount of my Bowens in storage.....I remenber the first one I bought was back in 1993.The batman.

I prefer he come back and do 1/4 scale. I don't collect 1/6 anymore. But it would be awesome if he were to come back and work for Sideshow and they let him do a line of classic versions of Marvel characters. The same thing he was doing before only in 1/4 scale. I know that gets the Bowen crowd angry but it's just my preference. But I'd like to see him back in the game even if it's 1/6. I won't buy them but I'd be happy that he's back.

If he ever came back... I would prefer 1/6th even though I now collect 1/4th. When he was putting them out I bought most everything he put out for a couple of years. It’s hard for me to say no to his stuff and I would need more room.

[JadeGiant]

1/4 scale is a crowded market. If he comes back and can get a license at a price he could pick back up where he left off, I suspect that's what we will see.

[Vecchio1]

It'd be foolish not to attempt 1/6. Market and demand have grown over the last 6 years.

He wouldn’t even have to keep the same pace as he used to. Start with that Spiral statue he teased and everyone would be hooked again.
