He must have done pretty well in the divorce to be out of the game this long. Again, it all depends if he has another cash flow. Who knows.

Sure, I understand, but there's also much less risk on his end in terms of overhead.

This

As I browse my collection, 90% are other sculptors. It's all about the brand tho. He ran the operation and gave the limelight.

I really miss the consistent variety that matched up. We were very spoiled and I was a few years late. 2011

Randy had some of the best sculpts in that run

Agreed. Allot of Bowen pieces weren't his but he did some really great pieces. I remember with action Juggernaut the Shiflett Bros were fubaring it and Randy had to come in and save that piece. I'd love to see some 1/4 scale Bowen stuff.

spinning hammer thor and classic action black panther to name a couple. He wasn't perfect all the time, warpath for example, but he has way more hits than misses and when they hit they hit. I don't doubt his ability to carry a company off of his name and talent, but he could use some variety in sculptors...I bet he could manage to rope in a few from the old days if he wanted to.

I agree.

The mini Hulk statue that he sculpted is awesome. One of my favorite statues that I own. I wish it were 1/4 scale.

The K Bros did a crapload of great pieces for BD. Randy sculpted my two all-time favorite statues though, Classic Cap and Classic Thor.

They'd be the first ones I'd try to get back on the roster.

No one has beat Bowen Designs in my book.
