Bowen are setting up an auction service " to help you, the true collector, to complete your Bowen Collection of Sold-Out and hard to find busts, statues, and model kits.
Be forewarned that this is called Rocky's Vault and not Rocky's Bargain Basement, for a reason. It's called Rocky's Vault because these are rare, top notch, top dollar, and inspected pieces.
You may be asking: Where do these pieces come from?
In most instances, they were purchased long ago by us (Rocky and Randy) personally from our corporation: Bowen Designs, Inc. and they are our personal property.
Items will be made available on a first come, first serve basis. "
more details here http://www.rockysvault.com/home.php

Oh no, Gerry. I think I'm in trouble because it's going to be hard to resist
the busts the second time around.

Wayne, you can afford it !
As for me, can't wait for the Wonder Woman statue ( I may even go for a Superman ! ).
Thank you for the link, Mister B.
And Neil, if you do come to Hong Kong one day. I can show you a lot of shops selling all those neat statues and busts !
Prepare to empty your bank account !

New arrival, by Bowen Designs.
Something in the postion of the arms and legs has
me almost convinced this is based on a drawing of
mine, but I can't place it.

Something much more specific. The way the left arm crosses the body, the right arm is cocked, and the legs are tucked up and under. Even the way the left hand is turned outwards. I KNOW I have done that pose --- altho I suppose it's possible it wasn't the Beast!

Nope. The specific pose. Not something like it.

Courtesy of my pal Paul, up in Canada (and today's mail) I have now added the Hulk to the line-up of the lead figures. I was resistant about getting this one, since it's more steoidic than I like, but I know I am never really going to find that slab Hulk I so much prefer, so, when Paul mentioned he'd seen one in his LCS, I asked him to pick it up.Must say, it just feels "right" to have the Big Green Guy in there with the others. however he is portrayed.

I've checked the four comic shops that are local to my house and work, and only one carries the Marvel figures. Are there any stateside sources (online) for the figures only out in Britain so far? I've spent a lot of time on Google and no luck yet. I really want some of the Avengers out there.
