Should I or Shouldn't I? - Thunderbird Statue by Bowen Designs

   
     It's time to once again turn the question to you to see if you think I should take the plunge or not with a statue I have yet to buy. I actually had this statue as a pre-order when it was originally solicited by Bowen Designs but cancelled it when I realized that my budget wouldn't quite be able to accommodate it.

70's X-men Display

     This is the first of the many posts highlighting the displays I've managed to throw together with the various statues I've collected over the years.  The photos you'll see are not of the actual displays, but of the same set ups placed in an area where I can light them better and give the camera a better look.  I want to make sure I can properly show you the displays.

     The first set I am featuring is the 70's X-men display which I have worked hard to perfect.  I felt like I finally got it right about two years ago and haven't changed it since.

Phoenix Statue by Bowen Designs

      She is fire and life incarnate (or at least she will be once Mastermind gets a hold of her) now and forever.  She is Phoenix, and she deserves a proper introduction.

Should I or Shouldn't I?: Bowen Sunfire Statue Edition

     I am on the fence about getting certain statues.  Contrary to what you might think, I don't get every X-men statue that is produced.  Like most folks, I am on a budget and can't get them all (they're not Pokeman after all).  Thus I am often left to wrestle with the decision to get certain pieces or to try and forget them.  This series of posts will hopefully help to get me make more informed decisions.  I'm going to turn the question to you to see if you think I should take the plunge or not with the statues I'm ambivalent about.

     The first statue decision I need advice on, is whether or not I should buy the Bowen Sunfire statue.  It was released about a year ago and is a beautiful piece as you can see.
