So, I've been debating on whether or not to post this here. I picked up the more recent sideshow Galactus MAQ. However, I specifically picked it up to display him with my Bowen/Kotobukiya collection. I've always thought the BD Galactus is too small. The MAQ truly towers over my Bowen collection and I just thought he looked perfect mixed in with them. Here's a pic of him next to the BD Thanos. Even though he's a sideshow piece, I hope you all enjoy seeing him amongst another BD statue. Sorry about the sideways pic. I don't know how to turn it upright.

X-23 by Bowen

A new statue for the collection
X-23 represents my 1st Bowen piece.

I am not sure of the scale. Based on the size of the portrait, which is smaller than a Hot Toys figure portrait.
the statue appears to be 1/7 or 1/8 scale, which is small.

Putting the small scale aside, the statue looks super!

Congrats on your 1st Bowen statue. She's a beauty. Bowen pieces are typically 1/7 scale.

Thanks! I even picked up the Sideshow EX Ultron COM instead of the BD Ultron because I liked it a little more. For whatever reason, the Ultron COM is a little smallish for 1/5 scale, so I decided to pick him up. My BD collection does have a few pieces from other companies, but when I put it all together, I like how the display turned out.

Now, I just need to nail down a Reed and Sue for my FF lineup and my collection is complete. I'm more than likely going to have to go the custom route because I'm not a fan of any Mr. Fantastic or Invisible Woman statues I've seen by Bowen or other companies in a similar scale. I've got a solid idea for a custom Sue, but a custom Reed has me stumped. It's not as easy to customize a statue of a character that stretches.

Indeed...great first Bowen. The FS are generally 1/7 but this one is fairly undersized.
