The OFFICIAL Randy Bowen Q&A Thread! 12pm EST Today!

[Randy Bowen]

How about a fullsize Hulkbuster to display with the Hulk!;)

We'll see...

[Randy Bowen]

Hi Randy, any plans for a Cable Full-size statue and/or mini-bust? Thanks.

Yes

[Randy Bowen]

Why are mini-busts in different scale than full size statues?

Because otherwise it would be too easy for people to just add legs to a MB to make a FS.

[Randy Bowen]

Had this age old discussion today and I couldn't come to a conclusion...

If you had no choice, and you either had to go deaf, or blind, which would you rather lose? Your hearing or sight? (I'm thinking sight?? :) )

I'd rather lose my hearing. I'm losing both anyway.

[Randy Bowen]

Any chance of a Fullsize Classic Gladiator with buzz saws to go with Daredevil?

...a chance...

[Randy Bowen]

We need a Stilt Man statue pronto.

No we don't

[Randy Bowen]

Randy,
There's been a dry spell as far as new products go. Will there be new mini-busts available for preorder soon?

Thanks,
davidthart

PS. The obligatory MB wish list:

Scorpio w/Zodiac key (from Nick Fury 5-Avengers 72)
Goliath (Clint Barton version)
Unicorn (Iron Man 4)
Box (John Byrne version)
Mimic (60's Cal Rankin version)

Yes

[Randy Bowen]

Hey Randy,

Any possibility of the following being made?

-60's x-men recruits, Mimic & Changeling?

-Mulitiple Man, Jamie Madrox; "triple pack" w/ 3different poses?

-Magik?

Thanks in advance.

Yes

[Randy Bowen]

Is a Romita Sr. Spidey pose a possibility?

Yes

[Randy Bowen]

Almost forgot....thoughts on a Titanium Man FS???????????

No

[Randy Bowen]

Are we gonna see a Dormammu FS in Phase IV?

This is what he looks like from 3 different views:
http://xs225.xs.to/xs225/08105/dormammu528.gif

And, this would be the Dormammu in a perfect pose next to my Dr Strange!!!
http://xs225.xs.to/xs225/08105/dormammu04566.jpg


Doesn't he look gorgeous and EVIL!?!??!

Thanks for reading!!!! Take care, my friend. :)

DORMAMMU!!!
I'd rather not say

[HoldyourfireAl]

Randy - Could you please clarify if this is the final paint for Loki? I preferred the metallic, but this looks great as well. Unfortunately, I don't want to order both if you add metallic later. I'm sure several of us want to know the same thing.

Thanks

Al

[HoldyourfireAl]

3D Man mini :)

[Randy Bowen]

Randy, will Bowen Designs reduce an original outfit Wonderman FS or MB, and if so, tentatively, when will it be released to the general public.


Last Question, Randy, will Bowen Designs reduce the Sond of Satan, will it be FS or MB, and if so, tentatively, when will it be released to the general public.

No- Wonderman will not be reduced. However, we're thinking of producing one.

Same for SOS

[HoldyourfireAl]

Will we see any sneaks today?

[Randy Bowen]

Any chance for a Mimic mini-bust? I would think this one would also have the ability to have cool variants.

http://content.answers.com/main/content/wp/en/thumb/1/13/240px-UncannyX-Men027.jpg

Chance? yes

[Randy Bowen]

Hello Again,
Was wondering, when you have multiple versions of the same character or variants. Can you space out the shipping time on these figures? I have six Wolverines being billed within a weeks time. Thats a hard hit all at once. I didn't want to miss any of them so I ordered them all. But was hoping they would be a little more spread out.

Thanks Chris

I'll see what I can do...

[Randy Bowen]

Hi Randy--

More heroines/villainesses this Phase? Medusa, Aurora, & Ms. Marvel look amazing!

Are Jean Grey, Emma Frost, Psylocke, Mystique, & VALKYRIE fs's really coming soon-ish?

Can you respond to popular appeal for a Storm museum, Shadowcat fs, Shanna the She-Devil, or Dazzler?

Will more Avengers heroines (asked by a number of folks on SF who couldn't log on here) be mb'd or fs'd: Capt Marvel 2? Mockingbird? Lionheart? Tigra fs? Wasp fs? Spider-Woman 1 action? Moondragon & Mantis are also high on a lot of folks' wishlists.

Villainesses: Morgan le Fay? Moonstone and Titania from Avengers' Masters of Evil? Viper, Madame Masque, Zaladane, or Typhoid Mary?

THANK YOU! I KNOW IT'S A LOT TO ASK, BUT THIS IS OUR SHOT, RIGHT?:twisted:

1) Yes- thanks

2) coming- yes, soon- no

3) Yes- I agree. They seem to be popular.


4) Good suggestions

[Randy Bowen]

Hey, Randy!

Alot has been said about wrapping up teams in Phase IV, but there hasn't been much mentioned about the Avengers. In fact, only Jack of Hearts has been confirmed, with Ms. Marvel/Warbird and a Clint Barton Goliath hinted at.

Will we be seeing more Avengers busts this go around, particularly more of the ladies (say, Photon, Mantis, Moondragon and/or Mockingbird)?

Thanks!
How can the Avengers set ever be "completed"?

[Randy Bowen]

Randy -

It's no secret I am a big Defenders fan.

I am assuming nothing has changed and based on prior statements this release is still intended to have a FS Valkyrie, and MBs of Valkrie and Son of Satan.

Other Defenders related MBs I'd like:
Gargoyle
Red Guardian II
Devil Slayer

Other Defenders related FS I'd like:
Nighthawk
Son of Satan

I'd love it is you could specifically say which of these 5 have a chance at seeing the light of day in Phase IV. If you can't be specific, can you say how many (ie 3 out of 5) could get done. Much appreciate your taking the time today and I'll have to read your response from the airport.

I'd also love to see a Sue Storm as Malice MB done as a Collectors Club exclusive. Byrne did a great story on this during his classic FF run. Any chance on being able to make this happen?

I'd rather not say

[Randy Bowen]

GOOD MORNING Mr. Bowen. Nitefall will just listen in silent appreciation.

Excellent choice!

[Randy Bowen]

A couple of questions, I guess.

Do you ever see Bowen Designs handling more than one license at a time?

And if there is a Phase 5, any chance a full size Tiger Shark could happen? And I will not accept any other answer than yes,no or maybe!:no:

1) Yes

2) possibly

[Randy Bowen]

Do you ever get a kick out of choosing characters that makes a bunch of fans go "What the F**K?!"

Also, any chance of a Thundra bust or FS?

yes

and

no

[HoldyourfireAl]

http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u163/JasonZ2/d6ba69a3.gif

Any chance for this Captain Marvel?

[Randy Bowen]

Dear Randy,

If you were even half-serious about a coffee table book of Bowen Designs' work in the future, please contact me here or on SttuFrm. I'm an editor in illustrated book publishing in NYC & my company has some contact w/ Marvel Comics. It'd be awesome!:blah:

Keep up the good work,

JJ

I'm very serious. I would have already proceeded, but it didn't make sense because of my schedule (with regard to phz 4)

[Randy Bowen]

Hi Randy, any chance of heading over to Michigan for the Motor City comic con in the future? Its in May and spring is beautiful here. If you would like, you can stay at my place and have endless amount of pie!!!

Sorry- not traveling any time soon. Too much work. Plus we're moving our headquarters next month.

[stormshadow75x]

Any chance we'll see a classic sabretooth FS?????

[Randy Bowen]

First off just wanted to say hi to everyone! Hey RB just two questions any plans for a Draxx the Destroyer mb and any plans for any of the Warbound from Planet Hulk arc? Thanks

Great ideas!

[Randy Bowen]

Hi Randy,

Any chance of seeing a 3-D Man MB and a Mimic MB ?

Yes, there's a chance

[Randy Bowen]

Hey Randy,

The burning question....................







Ginger or Marianne? :-P

I'll take both, and add a few slices of coconut cream pie to make it interesting...

[Randy Bowen]

Any chance of a FS or MB of Mojo? He's a star and needs exsposure damn it!!!!:lol:

Yes

[Randy Bowen]

You're mean.....

Awesome enough for a FS?!?!?

Yes

[Randy Bowen]

What about Blade? MB FS?

rather not say

[Randy Bowen]

This is probably a longshot, but what about Toxin?

http://image.comicvine.com/uploads/item/41000/40783/6292-toxin_400.jpg

Cool looking character

[Randy Bowen]

Hey Randy, are you going to make any convention appearances this year, perhaps at San Diego or anywhere on the West Coast?

Probably not. I may just go, but not take any displays.

[Cyrrus25]

Is there any way of sneaking a Chrome Action Surfer past Marvel at all?

Will we get any new Spider-Man villains busted like Jack O' Lantern, Hydro-Man, or the Beetle?

Will there ever be a War Machine statue?

I think my questions got skipped, so I'll ask again... :Oops:

[Randy Bowen]

Will Gladiator (Imperial Guard) be fs'd this phase, will he be sculpted by you, and will it be a museum pose...please?

Also, is there any chance for some other members of the Imperial Guard to be busted this phase? I would dearly love to see Smasher, Oracle, Hobgoblin, Starbolt, and all of the other C0ckrum original Guardsmen plus the four Byrne Guardsmen from the Dark Phoenix storyline...any chance of any or all of them being done this phase?....

Lastly, what about FS of the Warriors Three? Any chance of a museum sculpt of Hogun the Grim, Fandral, and Volstagg???

See previous response*

[Randy Bowen]

I take it that Loki FS will be in the flat green?

Yes, though we may create 100 in metallic gr. as an excl.

[Randy Bowen]

Any chances of more auctions from Rocky's Vault like the Wolverine 25th Anniversary Bust Sketch you put up last Oct.
Looks GREAT on my wall, but I'd love to get a few more to go with it.

Yes :)

[endsongjen]

any chance for a mystique fs randy?

[mike683]

Randy, any chance of a War Machine FS?
Sgt Fury FS?

[JonoJarrett]

1) Yes- thanks

2) coming- yes, soon- no

3) Yes- I agree. They seem to be popular.


4) Good suggestions

THANKS FOR ANSWERING!! :eek:

[Randy Bowen]

Will there be Dormammu FS for Phase IV or you can't answer this at this momment, Randy? Thanks

There is something planned

[Randy Bowen]

Thanks for clearing that up........

Glad I could help ;)

[Randy Bowen]

Not sure if this has been asked yet...but, "How soon until a Jack Of Hearts mini-bust?"

-Jericho1 :)

In the works...

http://i32.tinypic.com/adc108.jpg

[Randy Bowen]

Randy, hows it going? Just wondering what the status is on the Sinister statue?

Also, is a FS Havok or Wonder-man going to be happening?

IN the planning stages

[Randy Bowen]

Randy...thank you,thank you, thank you, for your time!
1.Can there be a Satana in our future?
2. How about Hela?
3. Was the FS Death sneak the final version (she looks awesome)!

1. I dig Satana!

2. Hela is da bomb!

3. Still waiting for the final word

[Haljordanfan]

Glad I could help ;)

LOL!!! What a smartass! :thumb:

[Randy Bowen]

Hey Randy!

1. Any plans for a Blink MB or FS?

2. Any plans for a High Evolutionary MB or FS?

3. Any plans for a Colossus ACTION FS (the museum you sculpted is still my favorite)?

4. What character would you love to sculpt (Marvel, DC or other fiction) that you haven't already?

Thanks man!

1) no

2) next phz

3) possibly

4) Deadman and the Specter

[Randy Bowen]

I can't wait to see what Alpha Flight surprises he was talking about... hopefully Marinna...

BINGO!

[rilynil]

Deadman and the Specter

Deadman is one of my three favorite non-Marvel characters. Man, he's cool. :rock:

[Randy Bowen]

Hi, Randy. Thanks for taking the time to answer our questions. Will one of the Novas be in the classic uniform and the other in the Annihilation uniform? If so, which will be in which pose?

Thanks!

I need clarification from MArvel on this.

[Randy Bowen]

Will Wood God get a FS or MB treatment?

Is the Mythos line dead?

No

No

[daveyyojimbo]

Hey RB, how about some more creator busts like Kirby? Ditko comes to mind..

[CougarTrace]

I thought that you were gone, Randy?

What is the chance for a full size Black Cat?

[pmpknface]

Thanks a ton for doing this Randy! :D

Of all the Spidey villians, there are very few left from the top 100 issues. Can we polish that off with:

- suction cup fingers BEETLE
- Man Wolf
- MOLTEN MAN
- Chamelion

There are others, but all of those right here are the important ones. ( I left of the Kangaroo, for example). Can we count on these this phase?

Again - thanks a ton! Especially for the Red Wolf pic and the Jack of Hearts sneak! WOOHOO!

[Tom Kearney]

I saw the Jack Of Hearts Mini bust, but will he get the Full Size treatment??

Thanks for everything!!!

[JonoJarrett]

1)

4) Deadman and the Specter

THE SPECTRE would be fantastic!!!

[Randy Bowen]

any chance for a mystique fs randy?

YEs

[Randy Bowen]

Hey RB, how about some more creator busts like Kirby? Ditko comes to mind..

No one knows what he looks like. He's never been photographed.

[daveyyojimbo]

No one knows what he looks like. He's never been photographed.

Huh! I had no idea....

[VinReaper]

No questions here!

I read enough! And have to get cracking on my own sales to make the loot for all these fantastic new additions and a new wing for the house to put them in!

Just want to say thanks for the inside info and whetting our appetites further.

Also, I have added your living room couch to my retirement plan, just so you know!!!! LOL! :thumb:

Thanks again Randy!!!

[batman1180]

Any chance of a Hulk in his planet hulk/WWH gladiator attire mb or fs?

[HoldyourfireAl]

In the works...

http://i32.tinypic.com/adc108.jpg

Blue Blazes!!! Please use the pink crackle on him like you did for Iron Fist!
Everyone else----buy 3 copies each, so Randy makes a FS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[adam_mantium]

2 questions.

Realistically, will we get a FS or MB of Shuma-Gorath?

Will you be sculpting the FS Mr. Sinister, and if not you, who?

Thanks again for taking the time for all of us.

[HoldyourfireAl]

I need clarification from MArvel on this.


The original question was will NOVA be in classic/new or both uniforms. I wonder why this needs to be clarified by Marvel? If NOVA is on the list, I would think both are fine as they are both regular Marvel Universe, not Ultimate Universe or anything else. Can you comment Randy? By the way, I would buy both!

[HoldyourfireAl]

I saw the Jack Of Hearts Mini bust, but will he get the Full Size treatment??

Thanks for everything!!!

Ha! Maybe if we sell it out in record time! Let's do it, folks!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Shaun the Kelly]

Me too!:nova:

[HoldyourfireAl]

http://www.comics.org/graphics/covers/2563/400/2563_4_01.jpg

Savage She-Hulk, John Buscema-style, FS?

[endsongjen]

holy smokes a yes to mystique!! thanks randy!!! :)
im the happiest girl right now.

[marvelboi77]

Randy I know you said yes to Firestar, but can you also make the Perez costume Firestar as a variant. The costume is much nicer.

[HoldyourfireAl]

No one knows what he looks like. He's never been photographed.


http://www.nndb.com/people/520/000022454/steve_ditko.jpg

Not true! There are VERY few pics of the man, but about 3 exist. He is a devote of Ayn Rand, she of The Fountainhead book fame. Her other disciples at one time or another have included Alan Greenspan & Neil Peart. Ditko actually cuts up his original art. He doesn't live in the past. WOW!

[marvelboi77]

Songbird please Randy...

Also a Savage She-Hulk would be great.

[daveyyojimbo]

It's funny... I was thinking.. I've sworn I've seen pictures of him. :confused:

[HoldyourfireAl]

Ditko would never allow a mb to be produced of his likeness. It's just against everything he believes. The one I think that could happen is John Romita! Hey! That reminds me of another question...HAHAHAHAHA!

[HoldyourfireAl]

Any shot of FSs of Peter Parker & Gwen Stacy to go with Mary Jane?

[JonoJarrett]

Any shot of FSs of Peter Parker & Gwen Stacy to go with Mary Jane?

do you mean those 2 tokin' up? bring it! :twisted:

You think? I really don't much about him except his devotion to Ayn Randian philosphies. In other words, he's kinda nuts IMO. Ditko was just off the top of my head. Romita would be another good one.

[Quicksilver]

Randy, just wondering about a FS War Machine, Havok, or Wonderman? Thanks

[TheMadTitan]

There is something planned

Got ya dude. I understand ;)

[nexus]

Randy, if you're still out there, apologies in advance for the long post, but may as well get it all out there.

Congrats on some fantastic pieces being announced. I haven't gone through all 32 pages but would like to know which are confirmed and which are possiblesif you can.

FS
1. Angel (I believe this and Archangel are confirmed). Both the classic blue and red costumes?
2. White Queen (retro and modern?)
3. Psylocke (best news of the day).
4. Sinister (may I suggest working some genetic experiments/abominations into the base somehow)
5. Iron Man (modern was sneaked, any other armors and will it be larger than the last ones? Oh, and museum or action. Oh, and what about a change-o-head Tony Stark)
6. War Machine (change-o head James Rhodes)
7. MODOK
8. Dazzler
9. Blinding Chrome Frankie Raye Nova (would be the 2nd best news of the day)
10. Firelord
11. Kraven (maybe a couple of big cats in the base)
12. Polaris
13. Havok
14. Sabretooth museum
15. Black Panther museum
16. Ghost Rider museum (any chance of a companion bike, more than happy to shell out another $150-$200?)
17. Mandarin
18. Mantis
19. Vindicator
20. Gladiator (shi'ar)
21. Professor X (wheelchair/shi'ar chair)

Also on the FS statue front
1. Fantastic Four museum (which costume period (Perez maybe), Johnny Storm flaming hand version (I guess the red and gold costume might be too much to ask?
2. How many versions of Giant Man/Goliath? (personally I'd like a big YJ in there somewhere)
3. Will Ant Man, Wasp and YJ each have three sizes to show power)

MBs
We are only collecting a few of these, so only a few Qs:
1. Any chance of a Galactus Superbust
2. Shi'ar Imperial Guardmen/women (cool character designs that were Dave C's Marvel version of the Legion of Superheroes), Lilandra and Deathbird, Shi'ar male and female starship officers (Dave C. does Star Trek)

How long does this phase run? When will things start hitting the order page?

We've been collecting BD since my son was in 3rd/4th grade, he goes to college next year? But my nephew (my son's little clone) just turned 10, and we're sending him a bunch of BD busts, so the legacy will continue.

Thanks!

[patrickwm68]

Damn I totally forgot the Q&A today, just spent the last hour reading this thread. Thank you Randy for answering all of our questions! :thumb:

I knew there was a reason why most of my paycheck went to you.:lol:

One more question if you're out there. Will there be another THING statue?

[Meteor Man]

See previous response*

:Oops:Sorry about the double post....:scared:

[daveyyojimbo]

I'd did get positive confirmation on WS/FS! :eek:

Black Knight is complete/awaiting paint

Tony C. is sculpting Ant-Man, and it is possible that we'll be doing Yellow Jacket FS as well.

:rock:

[Hypersom]

Thank you Randy for talking with us!! And thank you once again for the Super-Adaptoid MB!!!! I can't wait!!!

[Randy Bowen]

Yes- He's one of my favorite characters

[HoldyourfireAl]

Do you have an actual display of your statues in your home or are they just here & there? If you have a display, can you take a pic?

[Cool-Breeze]

http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i6/C00L-Breeze/000-19.jpg

Here is the image for action Cap that I was referring too. The upper left corner. Thank you for answering my questions. I hope FS Winter Soldier and Yellow Jacket are made. You would make my year! I saw you nailed me on the MB question, I have had legs put on a couple MB's (but only becuase I didn't think they would be made FS....but if you ever make them I will buy 'em). One last question if possible (if not no biggie as you have answered a TON of stuff). Is there a chance for Hawkeye museum FS?

[fenix]

Randy, anymore photos of devil dino?

[daveyyojimbo]

How's the action pose DD coming along? Who's sculpting it?

[patrickwm68]

What are the chances of getting a Marvel Godzilla bust? Pretty Slim?

And is a Human Fly MB a possibility?

[Northstar]

Hey Randy,
Thanks for all your time and answers. Looking forward to buying a lot of new X-men MB and FS this year. Just not all at once LOL

Thanks Chris

[tigertank1225]

Yes- He's one of my favorite characters

Hope you will be doing the sculpting on Ben.:smile:

[Enik]

I also wanted to thank you for the Super-Adaptoid Randy... I never dreamed you would make it (and if you do decide to do a a change-o-everything version I will buy MANY)

1) Any chance of chango-o-options? (multiple arms & heads)...
- a cape or Yellowjacket wings with a quiver,
- Vision head, Vision Phalanx-Select head or Hawkeye head,
- chest beam or not,
- Quasar bracers, Cap gloves or Iron Man gauntlets,
- Thor hammer or not,
- classic shield or not

2) FS Taskmaster (Perez or UDON style)?
3) MB Taskmaster UDON style?
4) Deadpool in Captain America (my fav), X-Men or Thor costume (mb or fs?)
5) Jocasta MB or FS?
6) Awesome Andy MB?
7) Bob Agent of Hydra MB variant? (erm there are hydra agents planned right?)
8 ) Sleestak? :mrgreen:

Thank you SO much... I can't wait to get Odin and I'm REALLY excited about Super Skrull, Machine Man and Ultron! Now I'm off to order those AIM agents :AIM::AIM::rock:
oh... Hi everyone love the forum :)

[daMatt]

Any chance of Eternals mini bust, Ikaris ?

[TheMadTitan]

I don't think anyone have asked this:

Will Randy produce a Dr Doom Throne pose FS in Phase IV? How about John Buscema' style holding a golden goblet?

[Enik]

... And how about a large button pinned on the chest of one of the A.I.M. busts that says "I :heart: Super-Adaptoid"....
Greg

I want one of those buttons too!!! I :heart: http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc10/markonweb/superadaptoid_tiny.gif

[wallred]

Love your Avengers mini-busts.
Any chance of a Quasar (Wendell Vaughn) min-bust?

[Hypersom]

I want one of those buttons too!!! I :heart: http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc10/markonweb/superadaptoid_tiny.gif

LOL!!! Hey Enik, may I use the Super-Adaptoid in your sig for my sig too?

[daMatt]

Eternals; Ikaris and Makkari would be excellent. Hhhhmmmm Kirby goodness.

Ares, mighty avengers design with the helmet and skull chest plate holding a axe/sword and gun.

[Jonnyquest9999]

Hi Randy, do you plan on doing these characters in either MB or FS:

1- Beetle (1st appearance/80s version/2000s version) (I'm repeating myself I know)
2-Surtur (It would be great to see him plunging his sword in the eternal flame---thor 351)
3- Arnim Zola
4- Dr. Faustus


?

Thanks for answering yes or no to an associated number that appears above, I consulted my lawyer and he said that with a specific question like that, you have no choice than to answer clearly with any presence or suggestion of vagueness in your answer.

What am I thinking, I know you'll find a smartass answer to that, you probably have better lawyers than me.

:twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

[Merrik]

Great Q&A Randy.

Brick was a friggin' awesome movie.

Sounds like there's TONS of great stuff coming up (Son of Satan was a highlight in the Q&A for me... his own title that sadly lasted only 8 issues and his run in Marvel Spotlight are two of my favorite runs of all time) and I'm super excited about 99% of it! The other 1%, not so much, 'cause well, I need to eat as well.

Thanks again. Great of you to take the time to answer so many questions from your fans.

[BENDIS!]

you want to get together for dinner next week?

[Enik]

LOL!!! Hey Enik, may I use the Super-Adaptoid in your sig for my sig too?

Hey Hypersom, sure no problem :D ... I wish I knew who the original artist was so I could give them credit. Here's a link to my copy if you want the fullsize original. (just search "super adaptoid micro hero" and you'll find instances all over the place - there are a couple of other versions but I like this one the best)
http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc10/markonweb/SuperAdaptoid_TC.gif

[Meteor Man]

Yes- to be released as a set

Wrecking Crew MB SET!!!!!!! That is awesome news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:boogie:

[Enik]

Warlock would be WAY cool...
this was a Shinobitron custom that I didn't get (grr) but I got his Captain Deadpool - and if Kyle Robinson ever decides to sell his work of art, I hope to pick it up :D ...and Deadpool-as-Thor & in X-Men costume

[Enik]

ok last one of the night for me...
Interesting concept art I found on a blog where a side-by-side comparison of ~1967-68 era Dr Strange and the Vision.
the Wastebasket blog article is an interesting read (link is to part 3)

I love both characters and think that the comparison-hybrid is really cool looking

[Meteor Man]

1) I'll try

2) can't say

3) MB's as a set


Thank you for answering my questions Randy. I hope the first two mean the following...

1. We'll see Gladiator Imperial Guard sculpted by you this phase!!!
2. There will indeed be several Imperial Guard MB's this phase...hopefully a 20 pack!!!:)
3. Very excited for the Warriors Three MB's!!! And, hoping for Warriors Three FS in phase V!!!!:)

[Meteor Man]

I can't wait to see what Alpha Flight surprises he was talking about... hopefully Marinna...

Man, I sure hope so...

[Meteor Man]

I'm pretty excited about these sets of mini-busts he has planned. It's like buying an original graphic novel or trade, all the story in one shopping experience. :D

Great thought! I am very excited about these MB sets as well!!!:)

[Meteor Man]

In the works...

Hmmm....I wonder who is sculpting this?

[Meteor Man]

BINGO!

WOOOO!!!!!! Marinna!!!!:boogie:

[HoldyourfireAl]

SKRULL ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[JadeGiant]

[Nitefall]

Good morning Jade. It was quite exciting yesterday. And he stayed a lot longer than expected and even came back later.:)

[JadeGiant]

Good morning Jade. It was quite exciting yesterday. And he stayed a lot longer than expected and even came back later.:)

looks like it was a blast ... was at work so I really could not join in but it was a great read this morning

[marvelboi77]

I collect all the female busts and statues. If Marinna is made I really doubt I will even buy her.

[Randy Bowen]

[Randy Bowen]

Saturday Night? We're closing on the condo!

[Randy Bowen]

Any chance of Eternals mini bust, Ikaris ?

Phz 5

[Randy Bowen]

I don't think anyone have asked this:

Will Randy produce a Dr Doom Throne pose FS in Phase IV? How about John Buscema' style holding a golden goblet?

Hmmmm :)

[Randy Bowen]

Love your Avengers mini-busts.
Any chance of a Quasar (Wendell Vaughn) min-bust?

Not this phz

[blackjack]

randy,

is there a fs War Machine in the work for this phz?

[ashley76]

Hey Randy! Any chance you will be doing more of the Full Size like the Spidey vs. Venom or was that a one time thing?

[ashley76]

double post sorry!

[ickwinzs]

who is it?

[SWDave]

So, you are saying there is a chance on a Puma MB? Awesome!!

As for Ms. Marvel, how about a Binary MB? Warbird MB? Original Ms. Marvel MB?

Thanks man! You are completely awesome.

[ickwinzs]

How about a carrion bust?

[Avenger]

In the works...

[Grumpy]

Randy, how about these as busts?

1) Whirlwind?

2) Graviton?

3) Scourge of the Underworld?

Just finished reading all the posts and can't believe all the new stuff coming that will find display space in my new home. I'm almost ashamed to even ask for the above. Well, almost . . .

[Makkari1]

Phz 5

Well that answers my question. If there is a phase5 Ikaris & Makkari may get done. Of course if there is a phase5 no one will be left to do but the Eternals.

[Meteor Man]

Tom & Joy

Thanks Randy.:) They're the ones who sculpted Vindicator, right?

[Meteor Man]

1. possibly
2. doubtful
3. you never know...

Wow...is there any way that I could help clear up your schedule so you could start sculpting the FS of the Praetor of the Imperial Guard...:) Mow your lawn, walk the dog, wash your car...:mrgreen: Thanks again for the Q&A.

[Meteor Man]

:Oops:Sorry...double post.:Oops:

[Cool-Breeze]

Hey Randy,

You asked me to post the corner image of Captain America when I asked bout the action pose. I'm not sure if you saw it (its in this thread a few pages back I think post 340). Here is a larger image of it and a similar pic too.

Tom & Joy

Can someone help me, I can't find what he is talking about. Which one is Joy and Tom Snyder sculpting?

[ickwinzs]

I think the Jack of Hearts is what that Wip is.

Hey CB, what's that bottom Cap collage from? Looks very cool.

[Cool-Breeze]

Hey CB, what's that bottom Cap collage from? Looks very cool.

If found it on ebay. It's from a convention I think. I don't own it, just borrowed the pic. I think it's a page from his origin though. I'm also pretty sure that the pic of him sort of running at the bottom is from a TOS issue.

[Grumpy]

Can someone help me, I can't find what he is talking about. Which one is Joy and Tom Snyder sculpting?

Yeah, MB, see posts #363 & 370. Randy is talking about Jack of Hearts.

[Walrus]

Hi Randy,

Will the Yellowjacket FS be a variant of the Antman FS? (Not interested in the huge Yellowjacket, just the regular sized one.)

Thanks.

[marvelboi77]

Yeah, MB, see posts #363 & 370. Randy is talking about Jack of Hearts.

Thanks alot.

[dEnny!]

Saturday Night? We're closing on the condo!

I'd like to think I helped pay for that. ;)

[dEnny!]

you want to get together for dinner next week?

[hawkeye147]

Hi for everyone, i am new here, is the first time i am in a english forum, for that mater sorry for my language.
First i want to thank Randy Bowen for is excelente work, i have four bust make by is company: Tigra, Captain britain 70's (the best captain britain, for my), Elektra and Psylocke.
I want to ask you, you don't make mini statue of the original statue.
Thank see you later.

[Randy Bowen]

I want to ask you, you don't make mini statue of the original statue.
Thank see you later.

We stopped making the mini-statues because they took almost as much work to create as a full-sized statue, but the profits were 1/4th as much.

[patrickwm68]

Randy, are you going to offer T-Shirts again for Club Members? If not how about something else like coffee mugs or Bowen Designs risers?

[Randy Bowen]

Ok :)

[Cyrrus25]

Pose #2 for the Black Queen is too good to not be used, even if not for Black Queen. Can we get a Jean Grey (Jim Lee) FS Statue in Pose #2? Because that would be pretty spectacular...

[ckfromsd]

hey randy so i am late.. lol

do you still ride?

[Randy Bowen]

Randy, are you going to offer T-Shirts again for Club Members? If not how about something else like coffee mugs or Bowen Designs risers?

What's your preference?

[Randy Bowen]

hey randy so i am late.. lol

do you still ride?

Does the Pope wear a funny hat?

Of course! Why are you planning a visit to the great Northwest?

[patrickwm68]

What's your preference?

Mugs would be nice, wouldn't mind starting my morning off with a cup of Bowen Designs. Though Clear Acrylic Risers with the Bowen logo would look really sharp.

I'll start a separate thread and let the masses decide.

[Supermn619]

Hey Randy!!!!If the bust sell well like Thunderbird or The Banshee Is there a possibility for a FS????

I know is hard to please all the Monkey on all the Fourms I just wanted to know do you like completing teams , do you have even any thought on the small fries like:
Reavers
Marauders
Masters of Evil
Brotherhood of Mutants
Hellfire Club
Infinity Watch
Imperial Guard
Starjammers
Ect??

[Supermn619]

O ya Thanks on the Big Confirm on Mr Sinister:rock:

[rediahs]

Any chance of making a new MB Capt Am and Thor? :)

[marvelboi77]

Randy do you really not know who Songbird is??? So that means you did not put her on the list for a mini bust....

Also when you make the Firestar bust can you please give her a George Perez costume variant that is the best costume.....

Anychance of a Scarlet Witch Perez or regular costume mini bust.

[Walrus]

Any chance of seeing some new painted FS's soon - cough... Quicksilver... cough?

[HoldyourfireAl]

Randy - Any idea when will see updated/debut pics for the following?....

1. Falcon
2. Giant Man
3. Iron Man
4. Abomination
5. Deathlok

Thanks!

Al

[CougarTrace]

Any chance for a new Dr. Doom FS, Randy?

[Clutters]

Hi Randy. What are the odds that the pose in your sketch number two for the Jean Grey Black Queen would be adapted for a Storm Museum statue?
Cheers

[patrickwm68]

Randy, did you know that the street lines on the Ghost Rider statue glow in the dark? Mines right next to a light and when I turn them off the lines do glow.

[Grumpy]

What's your preference?

LARGE coffee cup for me. One that is bigger than normal coffee cups if you know what I mean. Something with some sketches if possible. Already have two BD t-shirts.

[daveyyojimbo]

Answered with a Hela yes! :danceyar:

[Chico]

Randy, with all the confirmations that you gave... how many FS statues and busts do you plan to release per month?

Also, will we have more statues like "wolverine" that will be released with at least 3-6 variations?

My questions are budget conscious =)

[patrickwm68]

What's your preference?

From the polls I posted here and on SF it's very close between T-Shirt & Coffee Mug, Coffee Mug is slightly ahead.

[RED HULK]

Randy, when will we see a painted iron man statue?

[Wolverine1]

1. K you may remember me not sure if you do, but Ive been wanting the X Force version of Cannonball for a LONG time. Is Cannonball in X FORCE uniform happening? Im asking for the X Force uni!

2. Is X Factor versions of Havok and Polaris gonna happen this phase? X Factor version of Multiple Man while were at it?

3. Pyro, Avalanche and Toad coming in mb and fs?

4. Being we saw the sketch for the Cable FS, can we expect a Bishop FS with him??

5. Is there any X Man related pieces that anyone hasnt mentioned that your considering heavily on sculpting?

[ckfromsd]

Does the Pope wear a funny hat?

Of course! Why are you planning a visit to the great Northwest?

yup once the leg heals i hope to be out there next summer! time for us to ride bro!

[Jesse321]

Randy ... any chance for a Bill Foster Black Goliath? (my Defenders cube still looks a little empty) :)

and a Bill Foster Giantman?

[MARVELRULEZZ]

Randy - is there going to be re-sculpts of Hawkeye and Ghost Rider Mini Busts for the new phase. Particulary Hawkeye, i've never been happy with that one!!

[Armitage]

Randy,will there be a bust of Arnim Zola?

[endsongjen]

wolvie, armi and jesse. oh my! lol

[Fannymac]

Randy, any chance of a retro resculpt of the Scarlet Witch with arms??

[daveyyojimbo]

Randy,will there be a bust of Arnim Zola?

EXCELLENT question! Did he make the list, Randy? ... :Please: ...

[spy-d]

Will J. Jonah Jameson's MB have a cigar?

Will we see a Shanna the She Devil MB in P4?

K.

[jarvis69]
