Edit : It’s been brought to my attention I was talking about Warpath, not Thunderbird. WHOOPS. Comic cred has gone down.

I’ve never been a huge fan of Vision in the Avenger’s comics, though I always appreciated his simple, but kind of cool design. A friend of mine picked this statue up and I figured what the hell, let’s check this guy out. Come experience THE VISION under the cut.

Bowen made two versions of this. The regular one that I’m reviewing and the “phasing” exclusive version. Same pose, just part of Vision is phasing. The phasing one looks slightly nicer, but not nearly enough to justify the increased price.

I’m not entirely sure about the overall pose since Vision doesn’t have any arm related powers, it’s not a threatening pose, and holding his cape seems unnecessary. Though I believe he’s holding his cape because the Scarlet Witch statue is holding hers, which ties them together in an interesting way. Those issues aside, the pose looks pretty cool, even if it isn’t particularly related to his powers.

He has an incredibly simple yet impressive paint application. The shading, though also simple, really fleshes the whole thing out. That was always Vision’s design so the lack of complexity is no fault of Bowen.

The sculpt looks exactly like the Vision I remember. It’s his face that really seals the deal. It definitely nails the impression and feel I had of Vision when I read older Avengers comics. The decision you really have to make for yourself is do you enjoy classic Avengers to pick up a (reasonably) priced statue that isn’t exactly the most interesting? It’s unlikely Bowen will come out with another Vision anytime soon, there’s simply not much to do with the character, and this is a good representation. For me, it was worth it!

4/5. He’s a very affordable statue and a solid addition to any classic Avengers collection.
