I have the DST Nightcrawler and I think it's also an excellent looking statue.

His head is way too big.

I have the NECA one but as soon as Bowen released their version the NECA statue went back to the box....it is not a bad piece but is HUGE compared to the other Bowen X-men statues

I like the Bowen Nightcrawler very much.

I got this statue recently. It scales nicely with my Koto X-Men. Really nice sculpt and small footprint make it easy to display.

NECA Nightcrawler's large scale and poor paint job killed it for me. I bought one couple years back and throw it right back on ebay as soon as I saw it in person.

Bowen Nightcrawler is great, perfect body....except for the head. Blue is way too bright, hair should be curlier not spikey, and ears too big.

NECA Nightcrawler was issued as a "Jim Lee' version. Ugh. Jim Lee only drew one pic of Nightcrawler and that was on a poster where he's pointing and laughing, never in the books at all. Its a tad oversized, the head is perfect but a bit big. I like the dark face, even the sculpt, but needs better paint.

The DST Dark Phoenix Saga sculpt of Nightcrawler just look awkward. and that tail is ridiculously long and the tip too big.

Don't forget the Bowen mini statue, great sculpt that was mounted to the base in a crawling position. Not duplicated as a full size statue sadly.

I love the neca nightcrawler size wise and representation. Colors are just right and base is not too busy. Its not photogenic though but in actual I see Kurt wagner's soul with this art piece

Wow. I didn't realize just how long the tail was. Chalk it up to artistic license! In hindsight, DST might be just a little bit undersized for the Koto statues, but he scales much better with the Bowens.

I love the NECA version the most cuz the stance is perfect for his character...I never liked the Bowen stance. It might be a bit larger in scale compared to Bowen statues, but not as noticeable next to Koto's. His head and feet are a bit too big, but I love the statue! The paint app could be better though....

I would've liked if the smoke on the bowen piece had some purple/pink colors in it because the black and grey is pretty boring.
