Mark VII prepainted pvc-abs SNAP-FIT statue with motion sensored lights, now open for order locally. RM480.

Some simple assembly required.

I had my fair share of bad paint jobs from Bowen Designs and SideShow. But, they are still minor.

I prefer SideShow more, as they have more dynamic poses instead of museum poses. They also offer more variety as in LSB, 1:1 busts, PF and the likes. If you like obscure characters, Bowen is the one making them.

I have more SideShows than Bowens. I would have had 4 Bowens up to now. Marvel Girl, Jean Grey, Cyclops Modern.......Emma Frost Modern would have been my 4th, but I missed out on that.

Also, since SideShow is now making DC characters, my focus has shifted to DC more than Marvel properties. The movie stuff still interest me like the Mark VII and Scar Jo PF though......

I always liked this costume for Wasp. It's my favourite. Very nice sultry pose too.
Unfortunately for me, it's a website exclusive.

If local retailer/SG retailer willing to order on our behalf through Bowen Designs website, I think it is not a problem. Some people ask for help from overseas boardmembers at statuemarvels.com ( a very pro Bowen Designs message board whereby Randy Bowen himself interacts regularly).

It was 1992 when Todd McFarlane and newly-formed Image Comics released their most popular and successful comic book: Spawn into the world and never looked back!

As an added bonus, every statue also includes a FREE Lithograph of the artwork the statue was based on.

This limited-edition Statue stands 13.5-inches and retails at $185 with FREE Shipping (Only available in US and Canada).

For me, I'm still eyeing Kotobukiya products. Because in terms of paint jobs, their record for their bishoujo series is stellar. They had their spotty disappointments with some of their previous statues. But lately, the latest one I got from them, Collossus Danger Room Fine Art is very good. So, I'm holding out to them.

For the Bowen ones, I only like the more dynamic ones. Not into museum poses.

Ok, I haven't had the time to take care of my Koto Colossus, and Bowen Cyclops. Busy with work for clients. You can check out the paint jobs on Colossus from statueforum.com collectors 1st. Cheers.

Another example, Kotobukiya's DeadPool X-Force variant. Crisp and neat paintjob.

Nodaskip posted this. It is said this is a Adam Hughes's Lara Croft/Tomb Raider statue design. Word is going around that this design was not chosen, but made way for this.

I wouldn't mind the evening gown statue at all.

The Dark Knight Rises polysone statues from DC Direct and Watchment statues.

I hope they sculpt it better this time. The last time SS tried to sculpt J.Scott Campbell style, we ended up with that Emma Frost PF.

So far, D-Boy's sculpt of Campbell's Danger Girl and McFarlane Toys's versions were the best translations into 3D, imo.

Grifter bust from DC Direct for 2012.

The Justice League's 'equivalent' to The Avengers' Iron Man. Minus cocky playboy attitude and lots of money and genius engineering mind. But he is like a Cyborg.

Wonder Woman Cover Girls of The DC Universe scaled statue based on Adam Hughes's "Real Power of the DCU" Poster.

Statue is a special custom piece. Owned by Jesse321.









I don't know who the sculptor is, I don't think it was revealed. But, hawt dang, she looks like she jumped right out of AH!'s poster.

I have both Kotobukiya PVC+ABS pieces, as well as polystone pieces.

Their ArtFX series are mostly PVC+ABS. ABS is the hard like plastic, like the one used for the Playstation 2 console shell.

My ArtFX Supergirl 1/6 statue, ArtFX Catwoman 1/6 statue and even my ArtFX Star Wars 1/6 Snap Fit statues are fine. The Star Wars statues are almost 10 years old already.

No stickiness on these statues. No cracks, colours haven't faded.
Except for ArtFX Jango Fett statue's jet booster fire. The sculpted flames have a flat piece PVC cover at the bottom. This piece, perhaps due to the contact to the soft vinyl of the flames, leaked oily substance over time. I have sinced pryed and popped them out. The PVC piece by itself has been left on a cupboard for more than 3 weeks now. No more oily residue coming out of it.

My ArtFX Jim Lee Batman PVC statue is generally ok too. Please bear in mind it's already 8 years old. The cape is a bit sticky. But not a big issue. Other than that, everything is fine. No fading.

Even Hot Toys also had their share of problems for some of their plastics. The Batman Dark Knight figures had oily substance leaking from the costume. Hot Toys' Comedian also had similar problem on the costume. Some collectors have advised to remove certain parts(plastic) of the costume, avoid contact with other incompatible plastic parts to avoid the oily issue.

My NAMCO Tekken 5 Gashapon mini figures also have a bit of stickiness to them.
I just wash them with ordinary soap every once in a while.
