X-force Archangel Custom Bowen Designs Statue

     In honor of the forthcoming release of the official Bowen Designs Archangel Variant Statue being released in this week, I thought I would feature the custom X-force Archangel I had commissioned two years ago.

     An interesting tidbit of info is that Randy Bowen actually saw photos of this repaint and contacted me in order to get the contact information for the person that did the work.  Randy then got Rob (the re-painter) to paint him a prototype which eventually became the official X-force Archangel statue being released this week.

Here's a video introduction to my statue:

That Would Make A Great... "Gambit 9, 10 and 11" Edition

Gambit and Rogue both need more attention in the third dimension. The more statues made the better. Gambit issue 9 had an interesting premise which allowed Gambit to once again put on his 90's costume. I think this would make a really good museum pose Gambit statue:

That Would Make A Great..." X-factor 250-251" Edition

All the X-factor characters have been given the shaft as far as three dimensional representations go.  My question is WHY!  WHY! WHY! WHY!

Peter David's X-factor is such a great book to read and the characters are all so unique and interesting in so many ways that I feel that they deserve not just a couple of statues made but an entire set.

Magneto Action Statue by Bowen Designs

     The master of magnetism needs no introduction, but that doesn't mean I should be a rude host and not make one anyway.  Here he is, the one, the only, Magnus the Great!

The master of magnetism has finally come!

Apocalypse Statue by Bowen Designs

All hail En Sabah Nur!  I love this statue!

For some reason Rogue is always drawn in a way that makes her ripe for the statue inspiration pickings. First off is this image from Ultimate X-men v2 #20

Snapshot: Warpath vs. Warpath

     It's time for another Snapshot post, where I post crappy flash photography shots of various parts of my collection, to wet the appetite of those that can't wait for me to properly document it.

     I got a request from a fellow collector to take some comparison pics of the new Bowen Warpath and the Kotobukiya Warpath in order to get an idea of relative size.

(Forgive the flash photography and pay no attention to the non-comic related books in the backgroud - I certainly don't, even though I should. Argh!)
