Unofficially, closest to 1:7.
Last dozen releases, according to Midtown Comics:
Spider-man 2099 - 11/20/2013
Iceman clear - 11/27/2013
Hellcat - 11/27/2013
Hobgoblin - 12/24/2013
Rogue modern - 12/31/2013
Iceman original - 12/31/2013
Thor strike down - 1/29/2014
Johnny Storm Human Torch - 2/5/2014
Wolverine Astonishing - 2/19/2014
Red Skull action - 2/19/2014
Green Goblin museum - 2/19/2014
Stryfe - 2/26/2014
I had gotten a few Bowen from other sources before, but had just signed up to get the Iceman website exclusive (Iceman clear), paid my club fee...then they shut down.

Can't check now since they've shuttered, but back on StatueMarvels forum at the time, I seem to recall that there were some (other artists') sculpts already completed and/or being designed for the next phase. I remember that a Gladiator action was being planned...
If Bowen paid for and still owns those sculpts, maybe they'll be put up sooner than later.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

Not to sound mean but he would seriously have to step his game up in today's statue world.

I don't think he would, but he may change just because artist and sculptors evolve. He was making COMIC looking statues. And I am here for it. I don't want or need my statues looking hyper real and like a real human. That's my biggest gripe with Harbottle's Sideshow pieces. I love the bodies and poses, but he clearly takes inspiration from living women for his faces.
I think Randy would do a nice job of capturing an "artist series" line. I will take a Mark Brooks version of every Marvel woman please

If he has a Marvel license, I’d look to comic book versions of the movies that’ll be coming out over the next couple of years: Thor, Jane Foster Thor, Dr. Strange, Scarlet Witch/Vision, Shang-Chi, Blade, Eternals, Spider-Man, etc.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

I even remember he revealed a Spiral full statue render for the next phase, a character that will most likely never see the light of day from any other statue company. I'd like to see him continue on that tradition.

I don't think he would have any problems doing that. The previous Bowen Designs statues were meant to have a comic feel to them. Randy is talented enough to make people look the way he wants.

I recall seeing teasers/renders for a FS Shocker, Nightwing, Angel/Archangel museum pose, Tigershark, Stingray, Baron Zemo,Thor Buster Iron man.
The FS Tiger shark in particular looked amazing.
