What's Your Obsession

Bowen Designs is getting ready to premiere another Captain America bust, this time though, it’s a blast from the past. World War 2 styled. I have a feeling this one will look better with in-hand pictures.

Yep, two statue alerts in one day, kind of sucks. There’s two primary issues with this statue : 1) Check the white paint on yours. I’ve seen many pictures where people have significant cracking across large swaths of the white paint. 2) The paint quality on the shield in general is subpar. As usual, crack [...]

Hasbro SDCC exclusives announced and shown off!

Captain America V. 3 Comic Review – Heroes Reborn

Posted by: Dr_Teng In: Comics

This was the run when Captain America came back to the world after the Heroes Reborn business.

Not really feeling this one. Not only was their a Captain America released lately, as well as a Captain America bust, but … newsreel? The idea is kind of interesting, but if it’s a newsreel, why does he have a flesh coloured face? It somewhat ruins the effect. Picture under the cut.

Posted by: Dr_Teng In: Statues

This was posted on a statue board. It’s the new head sculpt photoshopped on to the existing statue with mock paint. I think it’s a nice improvement and can’t wait to see the real deal on the statue. Glad Kotobukiya is listening to it’s fans!
