I already knew about that one. I just never liked the pose on that one. The bust is way cooler.

Title: Re: AFB TALBACK: Bowen Marvel Mini-Busts Discussion - added Cable, Hyperion Post by: Black Cat on February 07, 2010, 05:42:14 am I love these busts so much. I am a huge Marvel fan but I have resisted getting into the Bowen stuff just because I am so worried I would never be able to stop!
Love your blog Andy, my bf A.J. put me on to it and we both enjoy reading it!

I have a number of them now. Between them and my DC Direct statues, I now have 3 Detolf shelves to hold them. But that is tame compared to some of the collectors I have seen. There is one buy in particular who must have every Bowen ever made. His collection is astounding.

There is one buy in particular who must have every Bowen ever made. His collection is astounding. Yeah, it must be an effort to have them all. I recall seeing an ebay Auction for, what was at that point, ever Bowen bust released. I think from memory the opening bid was US$5000.

I recall seeing an ebay Auction for, what was at that point, ever Bowen bust released. I think from memory the opening bid was US$5000. And that is actually cheap. These statues are between $150 and $200 a pop. And Bowen has made ALOT of statues. If anyone is interested, there is a list of them and typical auction prices here: http://www.toytracker.net/bowen/ (http://www.toytracker.net/bowen/) Title: Re: AFB TALBACK: Bowen Marvel Mini-Busts Discussion - added Cable, Hyperion Post by: Scotty on February 07, 2010, 06:06:57 pm That's a great resource fp! Thank you!

Title: Re: AFB TALBACK: Bowen Marvel Mini-Busts Discussion - added Cable, Hyperion Post by: fp_spirit on February 08, 2010, 06:13:27 am Yeah, but it is accurate. Not all Bowens retain their value over time.
Title: Re: AFB TALBACK: Bowen Marvel Mini-Busts Discussion - added Cable, Hyperion Post by: chopa on February 09, 2010, 06:01:59 pm Man I would totally drop $20 for that thing mini bust.
Title: Re: AFB TALBACK: Bowen Marvel Mini-Busts - added Polaris, Jack of Hearts & She-Hulk Post by: Scotty on March 09, 2010, 05:53:36 am I've managed to snag Polaris on eBay and Jack of Hearts and She-Hulk in Sydney on the weekend. The collection is growing!

But Polaris is beautiful as well. Title: Re: AFB TALBACK: Bowen Marvel Mini-Busts - added Pyro & Arcade Post by: Scotty on October 23, 2010, 08:08:32 am I've been focusing on buying a number of older Bowen busts to fill out my collection, but there have been a couple of recent releases recently, and tonight I'm looking at two of them: Pyro and Arcade. Two great additions character wise, but I have much nicer things to say about one than the other.
It's all at http://www.actionfigureblues.com/2010/10/great-pair-of-x-villain-busts-from.html Enjoy! Andy Title: Re: AFB TALBACK: Bowen Marvel Mini-Busts - added Pyro & Arcade Post by: twiztidtunes on October 23, 2010, 01:14:42 pm REALLY dig that Pyro
Title: Re: AFB TALBACK: Bowen Marvel Mini-Busts - added Pyro & Arcade Post by: FB on October 24, 2010, 07:08:45 am They look great Andy,you're gonna need even more Display Cabinets at the new place methinks.
Title: Re: AFB TALBACK: Bowen Marvel Mini-Busts - added Pyro & Arcade Post by: fishmilkshake on October 28, 2010, 05:30:16 am They're both pretty neat. Pyro is a step up from some of the more generic poses they've done in the past.
Title: Re: AFB TALBACK: Bowen Marvel Mini-Busts - added Pyro & Arcade Post by: HMRC4EVR on November 22, 2010, 09:31:44 am The Jack of Hearts is the only Bowen bust I own-I just can't catch a break on my other most wanted from them.
And I highly recommend the small lead statutte of JoH from the Collectors Magazine. For the size it's really well detailed! But PLEASE Bowen...give me Thunderstrike and Power Pack soon? I'm tired of waiting...

Andy even teased me that Shang-Chi might be coming Title: Re: AFB TALBACK: Bowen Marvel Mini-Busts - added Firestar Post by: Scotty on April 17, 2011, 08:57:02 am The latest addition to my Bowen bust collection is Firestar. Sadly there are some pretty major issues with what could have been a great piece/
