    I love The Destroyer

    LOVE HIM!!














    I love how he's BIG, too. Looks like he really could kick the crap out of my Battle Armor Thor and Beta Ray Bill busts.

    I didn't know you did Bowens. I messed up and let Beta Ray Bill sell out at work before buying him. I do that all the time.

    I also sold my Black Bolt bust years ago thinking that they would never make any other Inhumans..

    I was hoping Bowen would do a Jae Lee Inhumans set so that you could place them like the cover to the first issue. The current Medusa doesn't really allow that.

    Including the one I bought we sold 4 Destroyers the Wednesday they came out. That's not normally how that works at all, but people saw it and had to have it.

    Oh wow, can we get a Simonson Kurse bust???? Could that happen for us???

    I only have four and they're very specifically the kind of characters that I would get busts of.

    I have these, along with The Destroyer:











    I have them all sitting on my desk at work. About a year ago, while I was on vacation, one of my coworkers must've picked up Fin Fang Foom and fumbled him because when I came back about a half inch of one horn was broken off and his chest had a gouge in it.

    I would buy Kurse. I'm more interested in a Simonson-style Odin, though.

    Wish I could find better images than these...

    Battle Armor Thor, Beta Ray Bill, and Fin Fang Foom all turned out really well.

    I picked up the Red Variant at Wizard World as well.

    I still need to read Simonson's THOR. I bought the first volume of the Simonson Visionaries Thor trades, but haven't picked up the remaining issues.

    I still need to pick up Fantastic Four Visionaries John Byrne Volume 1 and 2 as well.

    Simonson's Thor is well worth the money. I'd recommend not stopping where the trades do, though. Simonson is not on the artwork afterwards, but he does continue writing until #382. The last four issues or so are quite possibly my favorite superhero comics ever.

    John Byrne's FF is also great. It's up to volume 6 now, I believe. Definitely a must-have as far as I'm concerned. Odin appears in that as well, during the trial of Reed Richards!
