PCS Marvel 1/6 statue license in the works

[FJC]

If this is comic based, I'm down for a Mr. Fantastic and Invisible Woman. It's the only 2 statues I need to finish off my Bowen collection. Classic costumes but with a modern vibe. I didn't like either offerings by BD of those characters. They looked too dated. Reed looked old and Sue looked like a 50's housewife. I'd like a slightly more modern take artistically. Something along the lines of Steve McNiven's take on the FF.

I owned both of those statues at one point in time but have sold them. I thought Reed looked ok but I do agree with you about Sue looking very dated. I actually owned the clear version because I did not like the facial expression on the regular version. It just looked very early Fantastic Four where you could almost see the statue saying "Oh Reed, help me...."

If you think about it, the Fantastic Four in general have not received the statue love that many other Marvel Characters have.

Well, I think Reed and Sue definitely need to be revisited by someone. BD's Thing statue and Human Torch statues were pretty good IMO. I bought the flying Human Torch from you many moons ago. Wish I hadn't sold it. I need one for my Invaders display.

What? you sold it?

Yes, selling statues back on the other site years ago. I remember those days well.

I do agree, the Thing and the Human Torch done by Bowen were great statues (both the action and the museum pose) and hopefully you can find the Torch again. I still own the Thing action pose statue and that is one that I truly love and cannot think about getting rid of (I also bought it without a box so attempting to ship that without one would be a nightmare).

The original set reminded me of Kirby's art. The second set looked like a 70's take on the characters. I just didn't like either of them. Like I said earlier, I'm looking for them in classic costumes but with a more modern take. I really like the way Steve McNiven drew Sue in particular. She looked super sexy and yet quite powerful. I'm waiting for some company to make set of those 2 that I like so I can add them to my collection.

Yeah, I'm all set with Ben and Johnny. I bought the most recent museum pieces of both. The Thing looks awesome and the translucent red resin on the Torch looks amazing. Unfortunately, a Reed and Sue I like still elude me to this day.
