Another early Bowen statue, which in my opinion, he has yet to best with his newer Daredevil offering. The newer one is set on a gargoyle and in an action pose. Anyways, this one was also sold in the yellow Daredevil outfit, and in faux bronze form. They also made two mini statues of it.
As museum poses go, I really like the pose. He looks as serious as Daredevil usually does, he’s got the classic weapon, it’s solid all around. As far as the sculpt goes, I have no problems with it.
The paint though, I’ve got a few minor problems. One, as you can see, is that the base flaked. It flaked while I was dusting it of all things. I don’t exactly manhandle statues while I’m dusting them, it just came right off, and other areas looked very sensitive too. The statue itself had no such issue. I also wasn’t a fan of the paint on the face. It looks very flat to me.
4/5. I think it’s a strong statue that would get a 4.5/5 if I thought the base paint was more reliable, to say the least. Maybe it was just my statue, but it seems one you need to be really careful with. Part of the issue seems to be mine wasn’t primed underneath.
Buying Options : Another early Bowen statue, another trip to Ebay.
