Plenty more people will come to realize this with time.

I not so interested if it is Bowen but I wish someone would pickup the 1/6 slack, get a bunch of different artists to do comic accurate statues, and go deep within the character catalog.


I agree I buy 1/6 and will have a few show pieces at 1/4 no more than 4 or 5. They take up too much space and money

Great post. I'm learning for myself that 1/4th can only get you so far. I'm ready to go back and actually start picking up some more of the bowen mini statues...the ones with arms mind you. Would love for him to pick back up. I'm sure the statues would be around $300 now with price increases but I can afford that much easier than 1K a piece.

Good to hear at least intentions which is really all anyone has until they have actually done something.

sad to hear but I like the optimism towards the future. I never collected bowens but I always appreciated their clean design and faithfulness to source material

Not that too!

Can things possibly get any more depressing?

It's so bad, I'm modding one of my existing Bowens. Black Bolt is getting his upgrade/downgrade as we speak.
