You guys from the UK seen this?
Not quite statues but lead, hand painted figurines of Marvel characters.

This is by the company that did the Lord of The Rings set. They were quite good so these should be fairly high standard also. I think I'm going to get these.

They are quite small Bulls but the detail on the LOTR ones was excellent. Plus they all look great displayed together on the purpose built display plinth.
Just don't stick 'em next to any FS Bowen pieces!

I liked the LoTR ones. Are you thinking of picking some of these up?

Yeah, I've actually just subscribed to this to get the free Spidey figurine. Hell at 5.99 a month, it ain't gonna break the bank and I can always cancel if they turn out to be crap. Though I doubt they will be.

They're really cool
Just how big is 77.5 mm anyway?
I won't go there though. Starting on the lead figures would just open a whole new can of worms for me.

Well it would make for a nice anti-tank gun caliber.
It it about 2.50 inches.

Opportunity for Bowen Galactus FS statue owners. Check out the Silver Surfer figurine on this website--it could be in scale to Big G.

I have seen prime-time television adverts for this! Prime-time! With a really overly dramatic voice-over. Spidey, Magneto, Surfer and Doom look to be inspired by similar poses to the Bowen Designs versions, which suggests a good eye on the part of the designers. Shame that didn't extend to going for a classic Beast...
I might check this out...
