Midtown had a pretty nice sale the other week and I snagged one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't own many statues, so I may not know what I'm talking about, but it appears very high quality for $90. Love the homage to one of the best covers in all of the history of covers. Wow, that looks really nice for a $90 statue. Love the base! Is it porcelain (heavy) or pvc (hollow plastic)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! The base is really nice and overall it's a great rendition of Thor's pose from that cover. It is a heavy statue. The description says it's resin. Not sure where resin ranks on the statue quality scale, but I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a lot of names for the same stuff. Looks really sweet! I used to collect Thor statues (the Bowen stuff) but narrowed my collection. That one is tempting though! I wonder if there's a Surfer statue to match it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not come across one, but have my eye on the 2008 Bowen SS statue which I think would look cool next to this Thor. It'll cost more, but there seems to be a dearth of SS statues on the market.

NewEnglandGothic Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 I've shown these before elsewhere, but I just found this thread this morning, so I figured I would share.

I prefer the Brown costume for this statue. Randy Bowen is one of the sculptors responsible for starting the Golden Age of Statues and Bowendesigns is still the standard by which all other statue/figurines are measured. Congrats on getting a Phase 1 classic! Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
