What's Your Obsession

Here’s a classic Bowen Designs piece up for review this week, I believe the fifth Marvel one from Phase 1, the Captain America Modern statue.

Bowen Designs just announced a surprising amount of exclusive statues and busts, so if any internationals are interested in these, better ask your friends/SM!

I wasn’t around when the newsletter went up so I didn’t get to show off the Sideshow Collectibles Modern Captain America Premium Format statue, or at least the sneak peek they showed off. I linked together the two images so you can get a better idea of how it’s going along. Should be on Thursday, [...]
