Gotta give Bowen credit. Not many misses to be honest. But one that instantly comes to mind is the Rhino statue. Hands down the worst statue RB has ever done. What I hate most about it is the scale. Doesn't fit in at all with Spidey or the other Spidey villians.

A little biased, 'cause I'm such a fan of their comics, but I think BD hit homeruns, "hits" with all their Supernaturals. From busts (Son of Satan, Satana) to their FSers (Man-Thing, Zombie-Simon Garth, Ghost Rider Museum, Frankenstein &, to a lesser extent, Dracula, all have been hits for me.
For Misses, I'd go with, & I have them, the original FF fsers, even though I know BD was going for a Silver Aged vibe, they really don't flow with my other BD classics. The 1st modern Black Panther, which I also have, their 1st Captain America 1940's statue which seems soft & unfinished, & Devil Dinosaur, as much as I love Kirby's creation, this always seemed an odd statue for me.

I agree on Mr. Fantastic and Invisible Woman, but I think the first FS Thing (have to get the right angle from above) and Human Torch are hits. I think he was going for the Marvel Treasury Edition #2 cover image (Romita, Sr.) rather than a Silver Age feel.
Agree that Dracula, to a lesser extent is a bit, but like The Thing he needs to be seen from the right angle.

Hit - Lots to choose from, but in terms of a character you just don't see done. The Wendigo statue is just awesome. Goes great with the action Wolverine. Just absolutely love it!
Miss - The one statue I was most disappointed with was Carnage. Didn't love the pose or the base design, but what make this the biggest miss is not having any tendrils on him. I can understand they might be fragile for shipping, but then the could have done something along the lines of the ones they put on the mini-bust.

Especially after Bowen had set the bar so high with the Rhino bust. Just made it even more dissapointing.
