Statue and Bust Stuff

[pmpknface]

Hello all! I just thought I'd post a thread about some of the busts / statues that I've been talking about on the boards and the podcasts. I'll start off with a few links and images of some new items and I'll slowly post some other pics and info as I think of it.

Mostly I'm a collector of the Bowen Deisgns (http://bowendesigns.com/index.asp) pieces. By going to their "Behind the Scenes (http://bowendesigns.com/page_sub.asp?id=2)" page you can see images of statues and mini-busts that are being worked on. Can I tell you how psyched I am for these???

http://bowendesigns.com/images/pagecontent/DD%20trio2.JPG

Usually a few days after Marvel and DC post their on-line solicits that will appear in Previews BD also puts a few new items up for preorder. These are the new ones available, the FS (full size) one is over 2 years in the making. I'll certainly be getting both of the MB's (that's mini busts), but more than likely not the FS, as those are harder to find room for.

Since this just came out yesterday, I thought I'd share...

One fun thing to do as a collector is try and figure out what characters will be make next. Sometimes we know of ones that are being worked on and we get pics of them early on in development but then others show up as a complete surprise.

Yesterday Bowen Designs posted some sneak peeks at 2 MB's that we hadn't seen painted versions of, a new "web shooter" Spider-Man and Shaman from Alpha Flight:

How's that for a variety? ;)

[torippu]

Is this the same Randy Bowen that Bendis mentioned in Part 3 of the latest WordBalloon podcast would be moving his message board to jinxworld?

[pmpknface]

Hhhhhhhhmmm......... maybe. I didn't listen to it.

BD used to have a message board but it got a little ugly. So now the statueforums.com is the main place to go, but run by fans and not BD. I also know of a few smaller fan boards that are fun. The SF guys are ok and it's decent environment, but they are a little too much w/ the regulating stuff sometimes. I've had posts deleted for NO reason there.

Thanks though, as now I have something to listed to this afternoon! ;)

[Augie De Blieck Jr.]

I believe that is the message board Bendis was talking about, but I can't be 100% positive on it.

-Augie

[pmpknface]

I listened to the podcast and YUP - it's the same Randy Bowen! The board is up and running, although there isn't much going on over there. The regular SF seems to still be the place to be.

Got news from Randy today that there will be a "museum style" FS HULK at the end of the current Phase (about a year from now) in addition to the one shipping soon.

ALSO - there is a website exclusive available as of 20 minutes ago if anyone's interested. Anyone can order it, as you don't need to be a fan club member. And the item? RAWHIDE KID MB! Yes, I've already ordered mine. ;) Here's the info:

I posted a pic of a custom MB that I'm getting done soon of the one, the only, FORBUSH MAN over here (http://forums.comicbookresources.com/showpost.php?p=4054287&postcount=24) on another thread, but as a sample of what people can do, and yes Augie this is meant to tease you, check this out:

***New Gargoyles Project Thread*** (http://statueforum.com/showthread.php?t=39828)

[DWEarhart]

That piece looks wonderul. I can't wait to see the finish product. I really hope they make one for Hudson.

[pmpknface]

That piece looks wonderul. I can't wait to see the finish product. I really hope they make one for Hudson.
That's another custom piece being made by a fan with some super-sculpty and time. If you go to that link you can get in the ones being made. They will likely only make about 20.

Randy Bowen toyed with making a Gargoyle FS statue, but the license from Disney was major $. If there is enough interest and and there's someone willing to do it, then I'm sure they'll keep making these.

[De Carabas]

Shaman is definitely tempting me, as is Ka-Zar & Zabu (although the $80 will scare me off that one), but it is the Chichester & McDaniel era DD costume that is the surprise in how much it is calling to me.

I would chuck it all for that Goliath though. Curse you Disney!

EM, who will not hesitate in ordering Forbush Man!

[SpydaWeb]

I'm loving that Apocalypse statue. If I only had the space in my house. I already have too many statues still in their boxes.

[pmpknface]

Don't know if I posted this yet...

http://bowendesigns.com/images/pagecontent/Spidey%20Blk%20bust%20proto1.JPG

SpydaWeb - There is a MB of Apoc that's not too hard to find. I know a few people who have one... ;) And why are allof yours in boxes? No room to display? :(

Also guys... as far as buying these goes...

You know I'm a fan of discounts. Besides pre-ordering at your LCS or DCBS or whatever I know of at least 3 different ways to get really good discounts.

Join the BDCC Collector's Club (http://bowendesigns.com/page.asp?id=9) - You'll get 20% off of just about everything, and the opportunity to get some exclusives
Pre-order on ebay - Some people say this is risky, but I've got a seller I trust. Not guaranteed, but HUGE discounts!
http://www.comicstatues.com - This guy runs the statueforum.com msg bd that I also play on. 20% off and free shipping.

[Augie De Blieck Jr.]

That left hand on Spidey reminds me of Todd McFarlane's art. The thumb is a dead giveaway.

There, I've officially become an uber-geek.

-Augie

[pmpknface]

Now you're startin' to talk like the rest of us statue people. Noticing even the little stuff. ;)

I got the WONDER MAN MB in the other day. It's Simon in his safari jacket and red shades look. BD will be making an exclusive of the 1st Wonder Man outfit based on the cover to Avengers #9 (the green and red duds) so be on the lookout!

http://www.azogscollection.com/priceguides/bowen_mini/wonderman_big.jpg

[pmpknface]

...which Augie and I recorded this past Saturday I mentioned a few cool statues to look out for, and this is the Red Sonja one I brought up. It got a press release over on Newsarama, so I'm providing this link for the pics: (http://forum.newsarama.com/showthread.php?t=92784)

If anyone is DYING to get the Scott McDaniel armored version, I'd get into the club soon. My guess is that it will be some type of variant and you may or may not have to be a club member to get it.

Other future variants that we know of that are coming:


Death Mask Archangel
Gold Chrome Original Iron Man
Green Wonder Man

or this one? :)

http://bowendesigns.com/images/pagecontent/Goon%20proto2.JPG

Other tidbits:

- The Black Knight is coming soon
- a NEW Spider Woman FS (base on the cover to SW #1) awaits paint
- Stingray and Tiger Shark MB's are 1/2 done
- Iceman FS updates are soon
- Randy, on a new Iron Man, "No details yet on the Iron Man FS. However we have a whole fleet of Iron Man mb's coming soon. We'll show photos very soon. (stealth, retro,Silver Centurion future Iron Man etc.)"

[pmpknface]

So... the new BD Hulk has landed. That's the one in the front of this pic. The Hard Hero one is back, left and the old BD one by the Shifletts is back, right:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v612/Stablemates/armyofhulks1.jpg

And Havok is here too:

http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g92/kaza5555/DSCN4184.jpg

[jclaus]

Pumpkin,
I picked up the Tigra and Destroyer mini-busts yesterday at my LCS. This brings my collection to the Lucky 13. Stingray and Tiger Shark could be possibilities depending on how they look. Others on my potential list include: Mephisto, Vindicator (Alpha Flight), Hobgoblin, Abomination, Punisher, Psylocke, Annihilius. At some point in the future, I will have to figure out how best to display them.

[pmpknface]

SCORE!!! Nice pics. Those 2 were on the short list for MB or the year, but Terrax (one of my faves) won. Add him to your list! ;)

Mephisto is cool, but the best. Mainly because he's facing to 1 side.
Vindicator is cool, but hard to get. I may be able to help you there tho...
Hobgoblin is awesome! He's a must!
A-bomb is HUGE!!! If you like the bigguns, he's for you.
I haven't gotten my Annihilus yet, and won't for a little while, but he looks great! I know a guy who opened up his wings by using a hair dryer!
Punisher is cool, but if you really like him, go after the rare chrome one.
I passed on Psylocke. I don't get all the x-stuff.

I also know a good place to get risers, and if you have an Ikea near you look for something called a DETOLF shelf. Cheap and good! :D

[jclaus]

The Destroyer is heavy and over 7" tall. Just looks cool. Mephisto just has a nice look to it as well. I forgot about Terrax. My LCS has one in their display and the axe looks great. They have the Vindicator piece listed for $90 as (for some reason) it is tough to come by. Abomination has that Destroyer look to it. Big and menacing. I like Hobgoblin only because I liked the character when he first came out in the comic. Psylocke is really the only X-piece I am interested in at this point. I love Wolverine as a character, but none of the pieces seem worthy of the investment. Angel/Archangel could be a possibility down the line.

[pmpknface]

If you don't like any of the Wolvie's you see - just wait. BD will make a Wolverine and/or a Spidey every year because they always make him $. I think the next ones may be "museum style" FS statues, but he's been toying with MB's that have arms out with claws popped. I have the 1st app one (with the cat-like mask) but the Weapon X one is really cool too!

[jclaus]

You bastard! :) Now I will have to head over there and look at the sale. Mephisto at 50% off would be sweet. Super Skrull also looks like a nice piece. And since I have both the Snowbird and Sasquatch MBs, the Snowbird Sasquatch is probably a nice companion piece. I blame you if I buy these!:D

[pmpknface]

I have that affect on people...

... oh, and check your PM's. :D

[pmpknface]

Many new sneaks up on BD's site - all IRON MAN!!!

[pmpknface]

Just thought I'd share. This is a custom made kit that was made by someone that you can buy and get put togather and painted. Check out the quality:

[goman]

Did you paint that yourself or did you get someone else to paint it? Cause it looks great. How tall is that Abe Sapien standing behind him?

[pmpknface]

No, it's not even mine. If click on the link, it says he has someone paint it for him. Usually you can find a decent painter on the boards. Some guys do put their own kits togather, but I'm not that ambitious!

I have to get my Forbush Man kit "built-up" but it's gonna cost me a bit, so I've waited. The guy that made that is now working on this:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v292/Jesse321/6.jpg

That Abe Sapien statue looks to be this one:
http://www.sideshowtoy.com/cgi-bin/category.cgi?item=8908
and is 11" tall.

[pmpknface]

Ok... who is going to WW LA? I may need help getting one of these:

Randy Bowen will be a guest at Wizard World Los Angeles! This convention takes place March 16-18, 2007. The Bowen Designs booth will feature some brand new prototypes.

We will also be selling the Deathmask Archangel mini-bust. (We will be coordinating with the Wizard staff)

http://www.bowendesigns.com/editor/upload/uploads//DeathArchangel.jpg

[pmpknface]

Here's a better image:

http://pic17.picturetrail.com/VOL826/450444/9032631/225160512.jpg

And straight from Randy:

I think the run is 1000. Wizard is reserving 150 for their VIP's (special pass holders?). We're reserving some for BDCC members and the balance will be sold at the show. That's the facts as I understand them. Heather knows more than about this.

Details will be made available at the BD site.

Meanwhile, I got a new edition in yesterday:

Here's that display:

Also got in Genis-Vell Captain Marvel. Check out that shelf:

All pics at: http://www.villagephotos.com/pubbrowse.asp?folder_id=1778219

[goman]

Man, that Thanos kicks a$$, and those dollar signs represent that it was probably expensive. I wish I could get into the busts and statues and stuff, but I have no room to display them, and it seems like they're a lot of coin. probably not that bad, just my perception of them. Nice display though.

[pmpknface]

Man, I totally replied to this yesterday and it didn't take... I'll pass along more Thanos info later.

Right now, this is now up for order on BD's site:

Price: $40.00 Sculpted by The Kucharek Brothers
Shipping: $7.00
Release Date: May 2007
Dimensions: Over 6" tall

http://bowendesigns.com/images/sculptures/Classic%20Spidey%20bust2.jpg

Randy posted about the $40 price point too:

We wanted to price it so that it cold have as much mass appeal as possible. Same with upcoming re-do's of Hulk & Cap.

[Augie De Blieck Jr.]

Heh, I had the same reaction to those pics - Thanos with the Gauntlet rules!

-Augie

[pmpknface]

That THANOS piece is by Diamond Select actually. The Bowen one is MUCH bigger, but I don't like the porportions or the colors. The paint on the DST one is MONEY too! Plus, that Infinity Gauntlet is removable! Yup, you can take that "snapping fingers" hand off and put on another one that's a fist.

(FYI - I know where you can get one for retail, if anyone's intersted)

That's "supposed" to be Spidey + the symboite too, as opposed to the triple pack that was black costume spidey.

[pmpknface]

And I can NOT for the life of me get the new red spidey pic to work!

Use the link and check it out. Totally bad@$$!

[Mike Cross]

Well, i stopped buying busts long ago, but the new Spidey does totally rock..i might have to purchase that bad boy

[pmpknface]

The new DCBS list isn't up yet, but I imagine that those 2 Spidey MB's will be 25% off, or $32 a piece. If anyone out there JUST wants to order statues and NOT order comics you can do that here:

Link to Symboite Spidey on ComicStatues.com (http://www.comicstatues.com/statues-busts-props-item-750.html)

Enter in this code: sfbd

And you should get, in total, 30% of retail. You pretty much get 20% but then get free shipping. That's the code for fans of the statueforums. It asks you to include your forum id when you order, so you may want to register there 1st. It's free, of course, and worth 30% off!!! :D

Also, if you are a Hard Hero fan here is that code:

HH marvel => sfhh

[pmpknface]

Yes, the Deathmask variant Archangel came and went, and I wasn't even able to get one. :(

But there are a glut of new previews out on BD's site! Here's the link:

http://bowendesigns.com/page_sub.asp?id=2


Banchee MB
NEW Cap FS!
Gladiator w/ Saws!
Iceman FS - 2 versions!
5 different IRON MAN MB's!!!
2 Nick Fury FS's
Dragon Man MB!


Check out the Iron Man 2020!!!

And Classic Gladiator!

http://bowendesigns.com/images/pagecontent/Gladiator%20Orig2.JPG

I just picked up: a Nova Variant, Kang MB, Baron Blood MB, Leader MB, and Gray Gargoyle MB.

Also, Professor X and Bishop MB's have shipped! I still need a Mandarin...

[jclaus]

Jamie,
I just picked up the Grey Gargoyle bust this past weekend. Sweet piece. I was deciding between that one, Kang, Baron Blood (something about just seemed cool), Annihilius, Abomination or Spider-Woman.

PS. Is Bowen ever doing a Shaman from Alpha Flight? Father or daughter would be cool either way. [oops, just went to Bowen's site and saw it set for a July release. Whoo-hoo, just in time for my birthday!]

[mgs]

wow/ those are really cool looking! thanks. :) but I don't know how anyone is able to afford those things if they also get books on a monthly basis. and I prefer the full body ones.

[pmpknface]

Yup, Shaman is out there and up for order! And so you know, there is a Snowbird, Sasquatch / Snowbird variant, normal Sasquatch, and Vindicator. Also, the normal Sasq has a rock base but there is a cubed varaint base as well. There are only 100 of those. Yes, the rest of the team will come in time.

Glad you liked GG! I totally dig him. He's up with my BA Thor, Beta Ray Bill, Gladiator armor, and Absorbing Man. I also kept Man-Thing on that shelf too! :)

Kang still hasn't sold out, and is $60 so I'd wait on him. But Annihilus is friggin' unreal! You GOTTA get him!

http://bowendesigns.com/images/sculptures/Shaman%20bust.jpg

I don't know how anyone is able to afford those things if they also get books on a monthly basis. and I prefer the full body ones.

Well, I learned a while ago NOT to buy all of them. Also, get discounts. The 3 I just got I paid $95 for all 3! Shipped! Yeah, the FS (full-sized) ones rock too. They are just harder to find space for. I have a few (chrome Silver Surfer, Namor, FF, Doom, etc...) but I refrain from getting too many because 1) I can buy 3 MB's for 1 FS, and 2) I can display a few MB's a lot easier.

[pmpknface]

PS. Is Bowen ever doing a Shaman from Alpha Flight? Father or daughter would be cool either way. [oops, just went to Bowen's site and saw it set for a July release. Whoo-hoo, just in time for my birthday!]

Oh, if a character isn't made how you liked it there are always options. This used to be a She-Dragon statue that someone turned into an Aurora:

http://homepage.mac.com/ficchi/.Pictures/Aurorapre.jpg

[jclaus]

The normal Sasquatch was actually one of the first MBs I bought. I also have the Snowbird MB. Is the Snowbird/Sasquatch one you mention the one with no arms? Those things kind of freak me out.:eek: Otherwise, the piece looks nice (except for that 'no arms' thing). I cannot wait for the Shaman piece. We have talked about the original Vindicator piece. I have that on my radar. Something about having the full original Alpha Flight team seems cool, so hopefully the others are eventually made. That was a nasty tease with the 'Aurora' piece. For a second, I thought that was real. Very nice paint job by whomever fixed up the She-Dragon figure.

Annihilus is definitely one of the next few pieces I will get.

[pmpknface]

The normal Sasquatch was actually one of the first MBs I bought. I also have the Snowbird MB. Is the Snowbird/Sasquatch one you mention the one with no arms? Those things kind of freak me out.:eek:

Here are the normal and variant Sasquatch MB's:

And here's the Snowbird Sasquatch Transmutation mini-bust:

Jamie,
The Sasquatch piece I have is from Diamond Select and is on a stump made to look like a tree trunk. It has red eyes and two arms (phew!).

Here's my Spymaster, freshly painted by Car50n (http://car50ns-customs.blogspot.com/)! I went with a little bit different colored base and the dagger is gray. Whadda think? This is my 1st commish too!

Nice! I don't have much of a frame of reference for Spymaster, but it looks good to me. Is just the paint jop custom? If I had to guess it looks like it was based on a Prowler or a Spiderman MB.

Also, the Sentinals are bad a$$, with a capital $.

Here's his wiki site: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spymaster_(comics)
I think he was the one who stole the tech from Stark and started the Armor Wars.

This is a custom job. Prowler hasn't shipped yet, actually. This is my 1st custom piece! It's still at the painters tho. Can't wait to get it! I've got 2 more to get painted and I'm expecting a few more in soon.

Here's a pic before the build-up:

[goman]

Oh, wow. That makes it even cooler.

Actually, I deleted it, cause I originally said that I didn't recognize who it was, but then read the top of it again, and saw that you said it was Spymaster, so there was not really a point to the comment. :p

[pmpknface]

FYI, I happen to know that there are a few of the FORBUSH MAN MB's left:

These are really, really cool. Where the heck are you going to store these bad boys?

[pmpknface]

I'm not getting them, and most that are getting them are putting them on display like you see above.

Actually... many people are getting more than 1 because you can change their arms and head around. They sold out super-fast, and only made like 300 I think. Maybe 500. I think they are like 30" tall.

[pmpknface]

These 2 new MB's have landed. From a guy on the SF:

Any chance of just linking to the images in this thread instead of displaying them all, so people would only have to download the ones they wanted to see?

[pmpknface]

Sure. I can do that. :)

[sschroeder]

Sure. I can do that. :)

I appreciate your consideration, but you know what? Forget what I said. It is your topic of expertise, and you are clearly enjoying it, so don't let me influence it. The images do not seem to bother anyone else. And I'm sure there's a strong correlation between broadband use and statue collecting.

[pmpknface]

HA! Ok man. Well, this is a pic-less post.

This is a compliation of answers from Randy Bowen on questions we asked him yesterday:

mini silver surfer statue still possible
spider-girl bust maybe phase 4
FS mystique is in the works
FS ant-man will be in phase 4
FS mr sinister yes
firestar. his daughter wants one so highly possible
fs deathlok he would like to do one
jack-o-lantern bust maybe
molten man maybe
hela maybe if he can figure out the hat
ww2 cap in the works
jubilee we'll see...
white queen bust great idea
odin half done
klaw mini bust yes
executioner do you think he looks cool enough.
radioactive man hmmm...
bi-beast will happen
modern iron man statue its a given
destroyer armor thor mb variant in the works
Firestar good idea
Enchantress good idea
Songbird good idea
Namorita good idea
bowen mentioned he is thinking about a loki fs statue in a loki thread

[jclaus]

Damnit Jamie, stop putting these thoughts in my head! Now you listed a bunch more that would be probable buys for me.

jack-o-lantern bust
molten man
hela maybe if he can figure out the hat
white queen bust
bi-beast will happen (THIS WOULD BE AWESOME :eek: )
destroyer armor thor mb variant in the works (since I have the regular Destroyer MB, I would probably have to look at getting this)
Firestar
Enchantress

BTW, I picked up the Grey Gargoyle a couple of weeks ago.

[pmpknface]

jclaus - Liking your GG? ;)

One or 2 guys on the SF have been "campaigning" for Bi-Beast for years. Another guy wants a Man-Ape. Another a FS Ant-Man. It's kinda funny. These guys just keep bringing up their faves and eventually they get done. I think that's where the Destroyer and some of the otehr variants have come from.

And I'd be down w/ just about all of the MB's mentioned above that are non-X related. I try to stay away from MOST of them. It helps limit the collection.

[pmpknface]

Wow...

Just came across this site. If you want to see what some are capable of, look at this:

http://www.thesculptorscorner.com/

[jclaus]

Love the Grey Gargoyle. It just has a nice cheesy feel to it. The quality is excellent, I am referring to the cheesiness of the character.

I also picked up the Prowler this past weekend. Great touch on the cape, especially with the right hand tucked into the cape like it is.

[pmpknface]

Me jealous! I've got my Mandarin and Prowler on the way.

Trying to work on a Original Ghost Rider too. And I have access to a Deathmask Archangel Variant, if I wanna pay for it...

Hhhhhhmmmmmmmm...........

I saw some rumors of a possible Stingray MB on Statue Forum and I'm hoping for a Jack of Hearts of Quasar - have you heard anything?

Great info PmpknFace

I saw some rumors of a possible Stingray MB on Statue Forum and I'm hoping for a Jack of Hearts of Quasar - have you heard anything?
There are threads that pop up occasionally where fans post and Randy replies. Randy's been asked about these 2 before and supposedly YES there are gonna happen, but maybe not until phase 4.

Check it (post #52). (http://statueforum.com/showthread.php?t=29871&page=3&highlight=stingray)

Jack's been talked about too. I think he'll happen eventually. And I think there's a kit out there that you can get that is of him.

Quazar has been brought up a lot, but there's like 5 versions of him and I don't think he's been seriously considered.

[Nightstar1441]

Stingray and Nighthawk MB - very nice - thank you for pointing me to this info. :)

[pmpknface]

Hey - I try! ;)

I've been extremely busy lately (new girlfriends will do that to a guy) but I will be taking pics of stuff soon. I may even get a 4th detolf cabinet this weekend and do a bit of rearranging.

I also know a guy who is going to do a bit of repainting for me. I had a chrome Ultron but sold it because I didn't really like it. So he's going to repaint my normal Ultron in "alclad" which is pretty much chrome. Here's a sample:

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y66/gomalley/chromedestroyer004.jpg

I'm also going to mail him a Prowler that he's going to turn into a different character by repainting and then send him another Mandarin that he'll turn into another character! Wait until that happens!!! :D

[Nightstar1441]

Prowler huh....don't tell me you're a Nightwatch fan :cool:

[pmpknface]

Prowler huh....don't tell me you're a Nightwatch fan :cool:
HA! YES!!! You're a awesome guesser!!!!! BD will never make one and I doubt that I can get up enough people to put a commission together, so I'm going to have him by repainting the Prowler:

http://samruby.com/OtherTitles/Nightwatch/Nightwatch01.gif

And as for what I'm doing with my 2nd Mandarin...

http://www.marveldirectory.com/pictures/individuals/y_1d/yellowclaw.gif

[Nightstar1441]

Yellow Claw...very nice

It's also nice to see I'm not the only fan of Nightwatch...lol

It's great to see another fan of beloved 2nd stringers out there :D

[pmpknface]

Oh, the more obscure they are the more I like 'em! I have a damn FORBUSH MAN MB for cryin' out loud! ;)

I really liked the Nightwatch series, even though most people just dismissed him as a Spawn clone because of his looks. I thought it was a decent story, back in the day.

[Nightstar1441]

I was annoyed the way they killed in off in Spider-Man unlimited.

Though it had a character I like (you like obscure - remember Polestar? - always liked the character design for him)

http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s176/nightstar1441/Polestar.jpg

I thought the character deserved a bit more than that. The writers just tried to build him up as a character way too quickly instead of developing a stronger base story and supporting cast. But this was the 90's and Marvel forgot who to write around this time for a few years...still, it would have been nice to give him some props.

Now you can see why I'm excited for a Stingray and Jack of Hearts bust...

Now if we can just work on Paladin.......;)

I barely remember him. He came outta that "great game" era of ASM. At least Joystick is still around.

I am ALL ABOUT a Paladin!!! There's a Marvel Premiere cover that's got the pose I need him in.

Do you have a big collection?

[Nightstar1441]

40,000+ comics.

Mostly Marvel and DC.

How's your collection? Anything in particular focus?

Most are in storage at the moment with most of my collectibles but we're re-doing the basement to bring them all home :)

I actually just started on Bowen mini busts - I been resisting as I have a lot of mini statues and some really cool lead figures from the UK known as the Classic Marvel Figurine Collection - but the Nova (Richard Rider) was just a fantastic sculpt I couldn't pass on.

I love Paladin - was a little disappointed in the Silver Sable series he was not given a more prominent role. I like the look McFarlane gave him in ASM making the goggles one piece instead of the 2 different eye pieces. And I do own the Marvel Premiere #43 that featured Paladin - prefer the modern costume a tad more with the purple and black. The old sky blue with purple and green outlines has the type of rythem a blind man would follow...lol

Polestar was originally killed in the Great Game by Del Toro Negro but another person has donned the suit and has been seen in it recently.

40K? HOT DAMN! Nice job! I'm somewhere upwards of 15K in comics, but at least they ALL accessible - although I was referring to statues and stuff! Sounds like you're just starting, so congrats! Enjoy the hobby!

Here's some pics, although they are a bit dated: http://www.villagephotos.com/pubgallery.asp?id_=1213135

I know those silver ones from the UK. They aren't bad...

I hear ya on Paladin's outfit. And where has that character popped up again???

[Nightstar1441]

Polestar was recently seen as a new contestant in the Great Game - he popped up in Thunderbolts #2.

I have pretty much the full clip of the Bowen mini statues - both Marvel and DC. Sadly - not enough room for Full Size - gotta keep em small. so we can fit everything.

I saw the new postings - anything interest you out of them?

Been waiting for the Constrictor to be posted.

Gladiator is not bad - contemplating that one, though I'd probably prefer a Whirlwind, Trapster, Spymaster or Ghost. :cool:

Personally, I never took to the mini-statues, but if you have a bunch of 'em the do look cool and are affordable. BD "may" make a mini Silver Surfer eventually.

I've a handful of FS's, but I stick to the MB's mostly. I'm all about the Gladiator! I have issues with the Dragon Man (my post on it is here, post #36!). (http://statueforum.com/showthread.php?t=48571&page=2) I like the Hercules variant better than the regular one. The Cap is sweet but I'm holding out for an action pose.

Interested in a Ronan? (http://statueforum.com/showthread.php?t=48539) FS available too.

Whirlwind you say??? (http://statueforum.com/showthread.php?t=47934)

Those are both done by the same guy who I got my Guardsman (http://statueforum.com/showthread.php?t=35545&page=6)from AND my Spymaster (he's earlier up in this thread).

[Nightstar1441]

Ahhh - so you were the one who commissioned the full size Guardsman - nicely done....now all you need is Force, Crimson Dynamo, Titanium Man and you can have an armor line.

I saw the Whirlwind - I thought it was a very nice piece - problem with me and kits is I have no painting skills whatsoever.

I saw your Spymaster - not bad at all - I always thought he was a tad under-rated as an Iron Man villian.

Ronan has that classic look from his first appearance.

I saw your posts on Dragon Man - and I gotta agree on the pricing and the size and it is a little disconcerning the childish response illicted by the sculptor. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and it was not haters - just comments. Some people have thin skin.

Bust size though - I think the Beta Ray Bill is the largest I have and I probably would not go any larger. Wife also comments since these we'll be setting these up in the living room TV display are - she only likes the ones with arms - go figure...lol.

How large is your collection of MB's?

I'm up to about a dozen. Mostly the secondary characters like Nova, Union Jack, Yellowjacket, Beta Ray Bill and a moderate first stringers like Captain Marvel 1970's, Psylocke, Angel, Havok, Polaris, Bishop, Vindicator.

Gonna hunt down an Original Ghost Rider, Taskmaster, War Machine and possible Shocker.

Though I am excited for some of the other characters I'm hearing rumored for possibility.

I gotta ask - which character are you hoping for to be made? Since we both like the obscure - I'd love to hear your top 10 wish list.

[pmpknface]

I'll probably hold out for BD to make the "key" IM baddies. I didn't really "commission" it, or the other ones that guy did. Furet03 (Chris) doesn and then sells them off. I just got one of the MB's with the change-o-head. I still have to put it together tho.

Oh - I can't sculpt or paint either! Hell - they arrive in pieces! You get someone to put them together for you AND paint them. It's called a "build up" and I think I'm gonna get a Whirlwind and have it arrive all together. Actually, I'm gonna have him painted skin color instead of gray to look more modern.

Glad you agree on the DM. That thing should be "tweaked" before it's done.

I still don't have my Spymaster too! My painter is gonna mail me a few when he's done with them. I gotta email him...

BRB is a big one. Lemme tell ya - they aren't gettin' smaller! I don't know how many I have. Less than 100 MB's, but closer to 75 maybe. I want to sell a few, including a bunch of exclusives. (email me at pmpknface@gmail.com for info)

The only one I have left to get that I want is an Ant-Man, but not for $200-$300+. Take a look here:
http://www.villagephotos.com/pubgallery.asp?id_=1213135
and look at the statue displays folder. That's old, but close to current state.

I'll have the retro Wasp on Monday tho! :)

As far as a top 10... ugh... I'm bad at those. I know BD is making some that I want (Ms. Marvel, both versions for example) but I like Spidey villains, other weird villians, and complete teams.

But now, time to start the weekend! :)

[pmpknface]

How cool is this!?!?!

A guy's JACK 'O LANTERN MB that he made. (http://statueforum.com/showthread.php?t=48083) I soooo hope it gets picked up!

And I got a few new busts and took some updated pics.

6 variants on the Wolverine? Guess he needs to get a Wolvie out there as an 'A' list character escpecially doing all the great 2nd stringers

[pmpknface]

Well, people are asking for specific versions. So he'll do a ton. Also, they will have slightly other different things that just the outfit. ;)

[jclaus]

Damn you for pointing out the Thor Destroyer Armor piece. :evilangry Since I have the regular Destroyer I guess I have to get this as a companion piece. Do you know when it comes out?

No, we never know when pieces are coming out. However, I'd guess that because it's a variant, it COULD be some form of exclusive. If you aren't in the collector's club, I'd join if I were you. And make sure to ask for the pin when you join otherwise they won't send it to you. ;)

Linsner's Sinful Suzi Pinup Becomes Sexy Statue
Courtesy of CS Moore Studio

sinful suziPremiere pinup artist Joseph Michael Linsner has granted The CS Moore Studio, Ltd. the license to create a statue based on his sexy Sinful Suzi character.

The 1/6 scale statue of the alluring blue-haired, creamy-skinned siren will be sculpted by Clayburn Moore, known for his breathtaking renditions of the female form.

Sinful Suzi first appeared in sketches Linsner created for a series of eBay auctions, and fans went wild. Shortly thereafter Linsner brought Suzi into her own with the Linsner Girls Portfolio 4: Sinful Suzi. Now the leather-clad Suzi will thrill fans again in a statue that captures her every curve to perfection.

"Working with Clay is tremendously exciting," said Linsner. "He knows how to communicate the dangerous curves of a woman's body. Nobody would be able to give Suzi 3-D life that way CS Moore Studio will." Linsner noted that after upcoming projects Dark Ivory & the 20th anniversary celebration of Dawn, a Sinful Suzi comic was next on his plate.

"Linsner's style complements my own very well," said Moore. "I believe that fans of drop-dead sexy women will definitely be pleased with this piece."

The CS Moore Studio is also working with Linsner and the talented Eva Hopkins on a statue of the beautiful character Dark Ivory, soon to be featured in her own comic series published by Image Comics. More information about the Dark Ivory Statue is available at http://www.csmoorestudio.com/articles.asp?id=125.

Photos, edition size, pricing and shipping information for the Sinful Suzi Statue will be released at www.csmoorestudio.com as it becomes available.

Nope! I've never read Iron Man for more than 3~4 issues at a time. Looks like an Adi Granov image - is this from the current series?

[pmpknface]

Yes it is! The Ellis / Granov series was good.

[pmpknface]

New WWII / Golden Age FS Cap up on the Bowen site! Updated Constrictor too.

And I got 2 new detolf's at Ikea on Sat...

http://picasaweb.google.com/pmpknface/Current_Display

The Kitty Pryde MB is shipping, the Thor FS is out, and all 3 Daredevil MB will be out later on this month!

[Nightstar1441]

How are the Detolf's - I've heard mixed reviews.

[pmpknface]

I have never had any issues with them at all. They are quite sturdy for being 3 pieces of glass, a door, and a top/bottom with rails on the sides. Extremely affordable ($60) and the lights are even on sale now for $5 for a pair.

The lights (the "non") don't come w/ screws - which annoys me sometimes, but I'll deal. That's why there are no lights on the 2 detolfs on the left - yet!

I wish that the shelves were adjustable, but I get risers pretty cheap. Check this site out: http://stores.ebay.com/Laser-Creations

I do wich I could put statues over 14" tall in them though.

This is the worst story I've heard (w/ pics): (http://statueforum.com/showthread.php?t=49431&highlight=detolf)

It wasn't the weight of the statues. What I think happened was my wife's grandfather came by this week and had to get behind that cabinet to fix the phone line. He removed the statues and moved the cabinet and anyone who knows a deotlf will tell you, the shelves can shift to one side with only a minute edge holding on. I think the top shelf got moved and a few days later, the "weight" caused it collapse in on itself.

I know of other ways to display stuff too. Search the net for glass cubes...

[Nightstar1441]

Thanx for the tips.

Doing a lot of work at the house - setting up the basement to be the 'comic area' but we intent to have a couple of displays in the living room (entertainment center with glass displays to the right and left) and a display/bookshelf/breakfront on an available wall.

Wood based - father is a woodworker (learning some of the craft) and we can design wood bases the same tone to match the display units.

Do you prefer the clear risers?

I also noticed the coils on the new Constrictor seem to smaller and thicker than the proto-type - was hoping for the longer coils - they seem to give the character more depth when looking straight at him.

Well hopefully Captain Britian 1970's will be out by the time I go to SDCC.

[pmpknface]

COnstrictor: The coils in there are actually from an Omega Red. They just put them in there to have something for the sneak pic. I think they are gonna try and make thinner, metallic looking ones.

Yeah, I prefer the transparent risers. I'm trying to decide what sized ones to get next. I may just get a bunch.

When I got the 2 new Detolf's I also got a $20 bookcase. Put that in the living room and put ALL MY HC's on it! Looks pretty cool. Now I have some tpb adjustments to make around the house.

I also still have the corner cabinet for statues too... ;)

[pmpknface]

Oh yeah.. it's on!

HELLCAT!

http://bowendesigns.com/images/pagecontent/HellCat%20image1.jpg

SPIDER-WOMAN

http://bowendesigns.com/images/pagecontent/SpidWom1.JPG

I also bought some more risers from these guys:
http://stores.ebay.com/Laser-Creations

Oh, the WW2 FS Cap is up too.

[Nightstar1441]

I really like the way Spider-Woman II/Aracne looks - very smooth flow. Hellcat is also a tempting piece though I may wait to see how Nighthawk looks before deciding on whether to grab that one are not (though I think Hellstorm would be a nicer piece with that one :))

[pmpknface]

I'd rather have a Hellsotrm too...

..but that's because I've got a private Nighthawk being painted up right now. ;)

[Nightstar1441]

SPIDER-WOMAN

http://bowendesigns.com/images/pagecontent/SpidWom1.JPG



Those are nice. I really like the blue, glittery effect on Hellcat's gloves.

I also like the classic b&w costume on Spider-Woman. The new one that Scott Kolins designed for Omega Flight is not doing it for me (and I've generally liked his re-designs of costumes over the years).

[pmpknface]

Be sure to post pics of that one - would love to see it....:D
Will do. I'll try to find a pic of it. BD is suppsoedly gonna make one soon too! ;)

[pmpknface]

Painted pics of the modern Black Knight are up on the forums only:

http://statueforum.com/showthread.php?t=51207

The red one is what was painted. The silver/yellow was photoshopped. Vote for what one you'd want! :)

[Nightstar1441]

Voted for the blue color scheme - seeing them together - i can see the appeal of the 2nd color scheme though to me - it just doesn't look right - maybe a deeper grey for the chainmail?

So what do you think of
http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s176/nightstar1441/RBStingray.jpg

Gotta be honest - I am really excited for this piece :D

[pmpknface]

Oh, I am all about Stingray! All over that like white on rice! :D

The base is excellent. The red is nice ans shiny. The pose is excellent too! Thank god we're able to get some lower level characters! LOVE THAT!

[jclaus]

Hellcat looks great.

Stingray is f'n awesome!:eek:

[pmpknface]

Lots of people wanted the silver / blue BK, so Danno painted one.

Whadda think??? http://statueforum.com/showthread.php?t=51230

[Nightstar1441]

That actually looks a lot better than the previous one (which was a photoshop - thought the silver took too much away from the facial characteristics)

I could go either way on this one now seeing the chainmail toned down really puts some color into the character without making him look like Captain Ultra :D

[pmpknface]

Yeah, it's tough. I'm just glad that Randy told Danno to go ahead and paint up another one. The fact that feedback is actually listened to is unreal. ;)

[pmpknface]

Back from mini-vaca. If you like this stuff, go to the Bowen site and look behind the scenes and at what's new for sale. Major updates!!!

Very cool Forbush Man Jamie. Is that one of your custom jobs? How do you get those made if yes?

[Nightstar1441]

that's a very cool mini bust...

And here I was thinking I was unusual with my liking of secondary characters. You have proven that you are the master! :D

That is a great piece - love the detail the matte finish allows

[pmpknface]

See ya there? ;)

Looking forward to checking out the Sideshow Booth and I know Marvel will have their own booth this year as well.

[jclaus]

Jamie - I picked up the Union Jack MB yesterday. Nice piece. I almost picked up the 70's Captain Britain. I also pre-ordered the Stingray MB.

[pmpknface]

Nice! I got the 70's Captain Britain and love it. The chain is an actual chain around his neck!

But an even more unreal bust is the Ka-Zar / Zabu one. WoW! That think is massive and so detailed! If you can get that for $50 or so do it! You will not be let down.

Good call on the Stingray. :)

[pmpknface]

In fact, go to this ebay store and make an offer that's reasonable and he'll take it every time:

http://stores.ebay.com/Action-Figures-And-Toys_Bowen_W0QQcolZ4QQdirZ1QQfsubZ3QQftidZ2QQtZkm

[40yearoldnovafan]

Heres what I have:

- Nova (this bust looks far better than it did in advertisements)

- Emma Frost bust (Diamond Select)

- Cyclops & Jean Grey (from the Phoenix Saga) gorgeous

- Savage She Dragon (the one with full head of hair)

- Cyclops bust (from Astonishing)

- Psylocke bust (with psy blade)

- Jean Grey bust (New X-Men)

- Emma Frost Comiquette just arrived (tall & with large breasticles)

I should be getting Old School Iron-Man in a week or two.

My son, 17, needs to move out so I'll have a place to put them. :)

[pmpknface]

Cool stuff! The DST Emma is pretty cool.

So... you like Nova? Look at this commission piece that was done for 1 person:

That is sooooooo not right! When is someone going to make a statue like that for all interested? One that looks that good.

Jimmy

[pmpknface]

No kidding. I'd want FS statues of each of the Annihilation #4 prequel mini's (Surfer, Ronan, Super Skrull, & Nova). The 4 that came together to form 1 giant image! I had that as my desktop for like 2 years!

NEWS: Apparently Bowen will be doing both a Odin bust and statue. Also, there's a sneak of a gray Hulk with a torn shirt on the behind the scenes page.

[bkdane]

http://bowendesigns.com/page_sub.asp?id=2

Black Knight retro among other mini busts.

[pmpknface]

Actually... that page is updated with a LOT more as of today!!!

Actually - with the Scorpion - it kind of looked like the tails are interchangeable which would be a terrific feature for the bust

[pmpknface]

You aren't the 1st to point that out, but there's 1 other detail - LOOK CLOSELY AT THE MASKS! One has the black outline and one has the "reverse Robin" all open eye mask. So you'd need a change-o-head too!

But swap out tails would be bad@$$! ;)

[pmpknface]

4 more Bowen MB's up for order, and I'm not thrilled about the $ tag on them either.

http://bowendesigns.com/sculptures.asp?type=m

[Nightstar1441]

$60 for Constrictor - that's a bit odd. I'm betting it's due to the anticipation that it might be a lower production run

[pmpknface]

Maybe. Even Hellcat is $58 and she's no bigger than Spider-Woman who's $55.

ALSO - Notice the new base on Spider-Woman. It no longer matches the Spidey bases, but is a circle web thing now. I kinda like it! ;)

[Nightstar1441]

I did see the new base - it does bring a uniquness to the piece. Also i like the updated Puck.

I'm curious to see what Stingray will go for - because of the wing span - i figure he might command a higher price tag

[pmpknface]

Lots of people don't like Puck's base. And many wanted to see something different, like the one on this site: http://www.resinpimps.com/ontheshelf.html

And check this out, I'm getting one of these built for me right NOW!

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a378/sfbatman1999/Paint%20Ups/Machine%20Man/MM.jpg

[Nightstar1441]

MACHINE MAN!!!

And that looks like a fantastic piece!!!

I love the extended arm - officially jealous :D

[pmpknface]

Thanks! I'm paying for it, as it's a custom job - but I'm sure you can get one if you want. I'll also have it in a week or so.

Email me if you want the details. ;) pmpknface@gmail.com

[jclaus]

Jamie,
The Machine Man is sweet. I agree that the extending arm adds that nice touch.

Who does the busts shown on the resinpimps site? The Alpha Flight pieces looked decent. Starfire was nice as well. Darkseid only seemed okay.

[pmpknface]

Those pieces are organized by Jesse. Different people may do them, and I think even he does some of them. They're all different. The Starfire is sweet. The Darkseid actually moves if you want him too. I may get one of his SAVAGE SHE-HULK'S! ;)

[pmpknface]

UPDATE!!!

Get over to the Bowen site ASAP. 3 WEBSITE EXCLUSIVE FS statues up for grabs:

Modern Captain Marvel statue - PAD style
Stealth Nick Fury statue - Extremely limited
lear Ice Man statue - also Extremely Limited

I ordered up and Iceman for the hell of it, and renewed my club subscription. And NO - you don't need to be a BDCC member to order ANY of that stuff!

:D

[jclaus]

Thanks for the update Jamie. They are nice pieces. I did like Nick Fury, but they are a little out of my price range. The MBs are more my pace. Of course, I saw three more pieces I probably will buy later in the year; PUCK, CONSTRICTOR and HELLCAT.

[pmpknface]

Iceman Clear version is now SOLD OUT!

Constrictor is in the current catalog along with Hellcat Wendigo and the regular Iceman statue. DCBS has the listings as follows:

Jamie - I picked up the Shaman MB last night at my LCS. Nice piece. I now have Sasquatch, Snowbird and Shaman for my Alpha Flight collection. Puck is probably on the future radar.

[pmpknface]

Sweet! Congrats!

I got in 2 customs this week. My WHIRLWIND is here and is awesome! However, my RONAN arrived busted! :( I've gotta take some pics and see what I can do. Hopefully I'll get a new one.

http://picasaweb.google.com/pmpknface/Customs

[pmpknface]

FYI - You'll be seeing this one up for order in a few months, and painted before that. This may be the most insane FS Randy Bowen has ever made!!!

He'll have a chang-o-hand that will have a spear and that scepter he usually carries. One raven will be on his shoulder and the other on his feet. His wolves will be represented in the base.

Whadda think?

Jamie - Picked up the 70s Captain Britain MB this past weekend. Nice piece. The amulet is a nice touch. I think this gives me 16-17 MBs. I am definitely going to have to start looking at displays, etc.

[pmpknface]

Nice score! If you can find KaZar & Zabu for cheap, grab 'em! That is one insane piece. Zabu is super life-like!

I just got in my Hercules variant MB on Friday and he looks really good! If you want one, I'd lean towards the variant one.

The Gladiator (DD/Spidey) villian ships soon too! :D

Here's a link to the updated CUSTOMS folder I've been working on:

Some better pics in there of Whirlwind, Forbush Man, Iron Man, and Machine Man. Oh, and my all RED Rachel Summers neato piece. ;)

[pmpknface]

Ok... first off, go to the BD site if you can and check out the newest items for order, including 2 Nighthawks and the 6-armed Spidey MB's.

Now: I've been getting a few things done. I finally got my Ronan MB in, but my camera is fried so I can't show you pics.

However I've gotten a few images from my painter and here are a taste of my new NIGHTWATCH and YELLOW CLAW customs!!! Also, my chrome wings for Archangel will be along when these 2 ship:

OMG... You guys have to get over to the Bowen site! 4 new MB's up for order and 2 statues, a Silver Surfer action one an a SS mini statue!!!

Shipping: $9.00
Release Date: March 2008

Features a removable helmet to reveal Tony Stark inside!

(will appear in Jan 08 issue of Previews)

http://bowendesigns.com/images/sculptures/Hulkbuster%20IronMan1.JPG

I think I want 3 out of the 4. Just not sure which Scorpion I want yet. Of course the thing that sucks is that if you want all 4 it's $263 retail! If you subtract $55 (that's 1, the cheapest) it's still $208!!!

Man, 4 MB at once is tough. I may have to only pre-order 2 and get 1 or 2 others later.

[goman]

I love the paint job on that modern Scorpion. The Hulk buster is pretty cool looking too. All of them have pretty cool looking bases. I don't envy your choice.

[pmpknface]

Yeah, the DCBS discout I'll get can drop my (suspected) want total from around $203 to $152. But that's STILL a lot of extra $ on statues in 1 month. And from DCBS I'd get charged for ALL at once. OUCH!

From what I can tell on the statue forum, the Hulkbuster is gonna be a big seller. Grab it while you can!

FYI, yes his helmet does flip up revealing a Tony Stark head inside.

[pmpknface]

PAINTED ODIN IS SNEAKED!!!

http://i24.tinypic.com/15ge247.jpg

More pics HERE: http://statueforum.com/showthread.php?t=58045

ALSO: there are exclusives all over the place on the Bowen site. 2 you do NOT have to be a BDCC member, and 2 that you DO. 2 on sale this week, 2 next week.

Go check it out!

[torippu]

That ODIN piece is pretty sweet!

[pmpknface]

There are even MORE pics in the thread above. Notice the ravens on his shoulder and on the base. Left hand will be replaceable w/ a scepter. A MB is coming with different colors, weapons, and helmet.

Other news too floating around the boards. Working on a Val bust soon. FS Silver Surfer won't be chromed, but will be HUGE!

Trying to decide if I want a RED cape ltd Black Knight or if the BLUE one is enough. I'll still get the retro one though. And that Thor Destroyer armor is a mmust have for me.

[jclaus]

Stop posting these things! Now I probably have to buy the Tiger Shark and Hulkbuster Iron Man (douchebag!). One of the Scorpions could be a maybe. The Odin FS is sweet, but out of my price range. Plus, I prefer the MBs. Since I have the original Destroyer MB, I may have to get the Thor Destroyer MB as a companion. I like the Puck one, but the P on his torso seemed a little elongated for a "short" character. The red-caped Black Knight was also interesting.

Upcoming buys:
MB Tiger Shark (damn you Jamie!)
MB Hulkbuster Iron Man (damn you Jamie!)
MB Constrictor
MB Stingray (pre-ordered)
MB Hellcat

Probables:
MB Abomination
MB Hobgoblin
MB Kang
MB Annihilus

Ugh! How much is that? Not to mention needing display supplies at some point in the future.

For Futurama fans: "With my last breath I curse Jamie!" ;)

[pmpknface]

I'm such an evil influence, aren't I?

I almost always order this stuff from DCBS, and I'm a BDCC member, so I get 20% off of everything on the website. Look at the prices for the BD stuff on DCBS this month:

Bust / Retail / Discount / My Cost
BLACK KNIGHT MINI BUST $60.00 25% $45.00
BLACK KNIGHT RETRO MINI BUST $60.00 25% $45.00
STINGRAY MINI BUST $85.00 25% $63.75

And the shipping isn't much, as opposed to Bowen's shipping which is $9 minimum, and that's PER bust!

Also, DCBS has a great ebay store that sells these too. I know a few other ebay guys that you can usually get good deals on.

As for your probables, I'g aim for HOBGOBLIN and ANNIHILUS before Kang and Abom. They are both cool, but I like the 1st 2 much better!

The good thing about your upcoming buys is that they are staggered. So it's 1-2 a month, and that's not so bad. Better if you can get a discount! :)

Oh, did I ever mention what I did to my Annihilus?? hehe...

Wow - your customizer did a fantastic job on Nightwatch and Yellow Claw.

I'm impressed on how great Nightwatch looks - fantastic stuff!

[jclaus]

Nice pieces Jamie! I do love Nightwatch MB.

Btw, I picked up the Daredevil yellow MB last week. Just something about the billy club grabbed me.

[pmpknface]

Thanks guys! I have a bunch of kits that are out being done as I type this. Don't worry, I'll have more to post soon. ;)

[pmpknface]

Hey guys! Some of you may have noticed my BLOG link in my sig below. I just wanted to let you know that I've started posting pics that I take of various statues and displays and loading them directly there. I put three new ones up today! :D

Here is the link: http://www.livejournal.com/users/pmpknface/

I may post here that I have updated it as new items come in. This way I'm not uploading even MORE pics to this thread. Who knows. Just wanted to share!

Later!

[jclaus]

Quick update Jamie.

I ordered Annihilus and Terrax from Tales of Wonder. I think they were both on sale for 40% off. Nice! Terrax's axe is very cool.

I am waiting for my Stingray pre-order as well.

Once again, damn you Jamie!

[Nightstar1441]

Constrictor and Puck were released this week.

I picked up Constrictor and I am very impressed. It really is an excellent sculpt and if you are looking for villians to fill your Bowen side of the case - I recommend this one :D

Though it was a bummer to hear Bowen will not be doing Paladin :(

[jclaus]

Constrictor is on my list. I forgot when that was being released. Now I have to split my curses between you and Jamie.:rolleyes:

I like Puck and will probably get him to work on my Alpha Flight grouping.

Paladin would have been sweet. I am definitely more into the "B" characters for the MBs.:(

[pmpknface]

Congrats guys! I love Annihilus. Did I tell you what I did? I bent his wings back a bit with a hair dryer. Now they are MUCH more open! :D

HEY! You have a Constrictor already! I won't get mine until at least next week. I passed on the Puck, as I'm not a hugh Alpha Flight fan. I passed on ALL of the AF ones. Although I know a guy that's making an insane Sasquatch piece and I may cave on that. We'll see...

Yeah, no Paladin... Maybe I'll try to get one made on the side. I've got a bunch of pieces being made for me now. Wait until you see what I'll be getting over the next few weeks! :D

[Nightstar1441]

I actually have Guardian/Vindicator - it's such a great sculpt and I figure I'll put it with Captain Britian 70's (and any other international heroes I add to the bust collection). Not getting the full Alpha Flight as I'm only getting the pieces that i on my character wish list :) and I also collect the lead figures as well so I can't too too bonkers though its easy to do so.

Constrictor is a great piece - you will not be disappointed.

I'm down for Paladin if you need to get numbers for this one ;)

And yes...I also have a 'special piece' in the works as well...but you already know what I'm talking about since you made it happen :D

Who will you have painting that piece?

[pmpknface]

OK - Got in the Constrictor and love him! Hopefully pics will be up soon.

Also got in WW2 Captain America FS! Excellent piece! Got him shipped for $115! WOOHOO!!!

Got in my Clear Iceman, but I have to mail him out. Man... this is an amazing statue. Totally worth every penny.

Hellcat should be arriving next week (I think).

Here are some BD shipping updates (bold means I'm gettin' 'em!):

[Nightstar1441]

I'm excited about getting Stingray and Black Knight.

Air Walker and Firelord are on my want list - the concept sketch for Air Walker looks fantastic!

[pmpknface]

Oh yeah! Randy's "confirmed" that he'll do a bunch of other MB & FS's too. Total he said he'd do a Son of Satan! He's also said that there's a Colan Dracula, a Monster of Frankenstien, and a Ploog Werewolf By Night.

There's lots of info on the boards at the moment! :D

[jclaus]

Alright, seriously, just stop it Jamie!

AIM MBs! :eek:
AIRWALKER?! Where are the pics?

I almost picked up Constrictor this past wk at my LCS, but I had not planned on stopping in so I did not make the impulse purchase. Even though he is on my buy list. I did pre-order Stingray, so I am anxiously awaiting that one. Hellcat is a probable as well.

I am cursing Jamie's name yet again. Damn you, damn you, damn you!

Hellstorm is definetly going to be considered :D

Sometimes having a lack of space can be a real issue

I am very excited about this phase.

Though would Werewolf, Dracula and such fall under his Mythos line?

[De Carabas]

If they stood half of a snowball's chance in Hell of getting past Patricia, I'd so get the AIM mini busts. I'm just smiling my butt off looking at them. :

EM

[De Carabas]

I just realized, instead of a AIM two-pack, Bowen should have packaged one AIM agent with a Hydra agent. Am I right?

EM

[jclaus]

I just realized, instead of a AIM two-pack, Bowen should have packaged one AIM agent with a Hydra agent. Am I right?

That is a great idea EM. Who is the Hydra agent that fans keeping asking Brevoort to make a mini-series for? Bob? Fred?

[pmpknface]

The Hydra Agent is BOB. He's got his own MySpace page!

And don't worry - we're getting HYDRA agents too!

Actually, those AIM guys are tme same MB. It's going to come with CHANGE-O-ARMS! So people will be out there buying multiple ones to display! They'll go great with the MODOK that BD is making too...

As far as the monsters falling under teh mythos line, I (guessing) doubt it because there's a difference of making a classic character in your own version and then making MARVEL'S version.

[pmpknface]

And then there was MACHINE MAN!

http://i29.tinypic.com/xoqzrb.jpg

[Nightstar1441]

DRRROOOOOLLLLLL

:D

Gotta love Phase IV!!!!

[pmpknface]

And it WILL have an extended arm too, just like the cover to MM #1. I'm pulling for a Barry Winssor Smith Variant!

If I don't get a RED one I'll likely re-paint it. Mainly because I have this one:

i always wanted a spiderman bust however they are a bit expensive for me...
And then i found a "paint your own" spiderman bust for 3 quid about $5 .
il post a pic of it when it dries

looks kinda like this (except withought the tentacles):

very nice Darkchylde custom! :D

Thanks Nightstar!

And Congrats Louisth! FYI - the new Bowen ones are very inexpensive at $40 retail, but you can get them for MUCH less.

[pmpknface]

Stingray has LANDED!!!

More pics of him, my WW2 Cap, and other stuff at the link above! ;)

[Nightstar1441]

Hoping to get mine (and Black Knight) this weekend :)

I still love that Nightwatch custom though (now all we need is Polestar and El Toro Del Negro to go with him) :D

[pmpknface]

Blue Black KNight comes either Monday or the following week for me! ;) The red one has shipped too.

Also, the THOR / DESTROYER should be here on Friday! WOOHOO!!!

Check out that link above for a few more shots of my displays.

If you think my customs are nice, you should see some others. One guy made a Radioactive Man out of a Absorbing Man that I'm dying for!!!

[Nightstar1441]

I saw that piece - fantastic paints and the slick base really make it stand apart :D

There really are some great customs - I might have to get a little more active in that area, especially if I want to see some of those great characters that Bowen might not be able to address

[jclaus]

Jamie - I picked up my Stingray preorder last night at my LCS. The wings did not grab me at first but once I got it home it really is a nice piece. I was also looking at Hellcat, Constrictor and Puck. Thor Destroyer looks nice.

I really hate you for getting me interested in MBs!

[pmpknface]

jclaus - Congrats on the Stingray. Hellcat is cool, and so is the Constrictor. Puck isn't for me but if you want to complete Alpha Flight go for it. There are already sneaks of Northstar and Aurora out too.

Yesterday's haul:

Box #1) Amazon.com. New Frontier flick (DC animated movie based on the comics), Dr Strange flick, and Superman vs. Doomsday flick!

Box #2) Darkchylde custom! Small problem - sword hilt came off, and so did her headpiece, which is her hair and horns. totally fixable, and I may do it myself. Not the end of the world.

Box #3) Customs from FRANCE!!! Ok, Crimson Dynamo if totally unreal! Shiny red! And the head, body, and base are 3 pieces held together with a pin, so you can spin them to display how you want! Or, maybe I'm thinking put some apoxie in there and put it in 1 place. After that - MANDRIOD!!! Bright shiny yellow! This thing is massive! Base is separate from the body and there are cables that are metal painted yellow that go from the gauntlets to the back, like the Apoc mb. It is HUGE! Screw any other piece, this is MASSIVE!!! Also in the box are 3 unpainted kits: AIM goon, Sidewinder, and Puff Adder

Box #4) Ok, are you ready for this? Thor Destroyer #498 / 500. I open it up and wings are mint, hammers looks smooth, and the FRIGGIN' BUST IS SEPARATED FROM THE BASE!!! I called them up, and they said to send in an email. So I did, waiting to hear back. UGH!!!!!! I didn't even remove it from the styrofoam. Just closed the box back up.

[Nightstar1441]

Wow - I feel the excitement - awesome customs!!! :D

You can be such a bad influence - I need to look into some more customs :evilsmile

[pmpknface]

Thanks! Yeah, I've been told that before... hehehehe...

Are you getting anything customized now? Who are you interested in, or what group / type of character?

[Nightstar1441]

I'm in on the Rom project (which will be my first - been burned before going outside regular channels which is why I have been a tad hesitant). BTW - thank you for lobbying for that one :)

I think I will be focusing on minor characters that Bowen will have no chance of touching like Paladin (I think I've mentioned him before as being on my wish list), Torpedo(come on, wouldn't he look awesome next to Rom), Shroud (I think someone mentioned there might be a plan for this one), Polestar (yes, I know I'm probably the only fan of this character), American Eagle, Nomad, Cyclone II, Maverick, Sabra, Porcupine, Ghost, Chance, Death Adder, Unicorn, Darkhawk, Solo.

As you can see - I'm pretty diverse. My significant other likes them as well and will let me display them in the main rooms of the house (but only if they have arms is her only rule :rolleyes:)

I've left off some characters as I think Bowen will wind up doing them (Quasar, Silver Sable, Machine Man, Cloak and Dagger).

I will be getting Firelord, Air Walker and Jack of Hearts once Bowen releases them as well :evilsmile

Hopefully I didn't ramble on too much here.

[pmpknface]

Very cool! Yes, I needed the ROM MB. Somehow I managed to compel Helder to re-cast it. Thank GOD! Glad you're in on that!

It looks like a Shroud will get done, so you're in luck there. There is a Paladin in the works too, so pay attention!

I finally used my Dremmel this week too. I had to glue Darkchylde's headpiece (hair / horns) back on and I had to sand the old glue off. It was nerve wracking but worth it. I really want to start messing with a few of my old MB's and try to customize them myself. I've got the tools, I just need the time.

[Nightstar1441]

Good to hear you were able to fix that.

And glad to see you have got the skills as well (absolutely none here...and I have tried :rolleyes:). Very envious of such fantastic talent.

I saw that Paladin as well - will be watching very closely on that one :D

I am curious, what busts are your thoughts of customization do you have :evilsmile

Without the skills - sometimes you cannot see the potential in a piece

[pmpknface]

Well, I haven't tried, so my skills are quite unknown... but here's what I want to try:

Prowler -> SWARM
Kingpin -> SLUG
Shocker -> not sure... HUMAN FLY maybe?

[Nightstar1441]

Hmmmm...you know...now that you got me thinking about it...

Shocker is sanded down smooth might work for a character like Eel (I know he was done in a custom from Iceman but he would look a little more dynamic in this pose), Viper I or even Slyde (though he might be too muscular for that character)

Prowler....maybe the Wraith?

Was there a kit for Guardsman too in a Mini bust?

[pmpknface]

There is a Guardsman kit. PM Furet03 from the boards about it.

Wraith is cool!

I will be getting the AIM 2-pack though! ;)

I'm gonna enjoy the break because you know - once the floodgates open, there will a ton of options to make up for lost time.

And with a character selection that will be with 2nd stringers - its gonna be tough not to go overboard :D

- Jackal sneak peeks (must be by Maddox)
- Mangog sneaks too! Thor villain. SWEET!

[pmpknface]

I don't know if you guys listed to my and Augie's monthly podcast, but I do talk statues a bit on it each month.

Well, a pair of MB's (Frankie & the Bride) produced by Reel Art Studions and sculpted by Willaim Paquet was talked about a few months ago and are now available. I just found this out about the producer:

Of course YOU may not know that RAS puts out a newsletter and we DO offer special deals to subscribers on some of our new products. So it pays to subscribe. The newsletter went out on 02/22 to approximately 300 subscribers and was good through the end of this month. Excerpt below:

"Newsletter Subscriber Only Discount Information: We have all three William Paquet pieces covered under our special Newsletter Subscriber Discount this time around. The Spider, The Monster and The Bride all earn a 20% discount should you order them through us and mention this Newsletter when doing so. The particulars of exactly what you need to do to qualify immediately follow."

Another point to keep in mind is that there are not 1000 to 2000 units of these floating around so they should maintain their original value pretty well if not exceed it. The edition size was set at 500 units and we produced 200 plus 25 A/P's in the first run. When edition runs are small it costs the producer more per unit to make. With an untested product it would have been foolish for us to make a large amount no matter how wonderful we think they are personally. So low numbers can equate to a higher price (even though these are not tiny pieces) but it also equates to more collectibility. Just a thought. Hopefully you'll admit the quality is good.

Geez, you already got me trying to hunt down that Guardsman kit (took your advice and contacted - no response yet) and I just saw a Blacklash kit and then there's the Jack O'Lantern kit....

You should just put all of info together in a guide on how to an achieve a divorce in 5 easy steps :D

[pmpknface]

HA! There's a guy out there who started a thread. He and his wife are curbing his "habit" and he's looking for suggestions.

The Jack kit is just to cheap to pass up. I have the Blacklash kit. It's so cool! It's still unbuilt though (I also bought the Madlyne Pryor and another one from them before they closed up shop) So is my Guardsman (I saw you look into that!), but hopefully I'll get them out the door soon.

That's thanks to a paycheck, a bonus, a double bonus, tax return, and tax relief! :D

FYI... http://home.cshore.com/bucwheat/2k8/2k8.htm

Tell me that Air Walker sneak does not look awesome.

I was concerned about the concept sketch and the actual product not looking alike - but I was completely floored.

Vance Astro - love the positioning - I was not going to get into the Guardians of the Galaxy but they are starting to really impress.

Pity no Quasar this phase.

Congrats on the Jack O'Lantern (still waiting for mine). Just got a shipping notice on Rom :D

I'd love a Quasar - retro and modern, but at least it'll save me $.

I bet some of those Guardians will be in packs. Nobody wants a Charlile 27 alone!

You've got your ROM notice! :eek:

[Nightstar1441]

Yep - shipping notice via paypal :cool:

You think the GOTG will be two pack or three pack?

I figure there is Charlie-27, Vance Astro, Yondu, Martinex, Starhawk, Aleta and Nikki.

Maybe two 2-packs and a 3-pack?

Or three 2-packs and an exclusive?

I won't hazard a guess on the frog (since I've seen the sneak and will allow someone else who might not have make the call :D )

Patience should work out - I remember when he confirmed Phase IV, he was calling it his last phase - now there have been mentions for phase V, so there is hope :)
