And hey, it's a Marvel Comics female character who actually doesn't have enormous breasts!  (Guess we have you to thank for that, JB.  A little anatomical realism never hurt nobody!)

With all the enormous hooters already filling up the panels of comic books, I resolved from very early on that I would not add to the list. Most (not all) of the female characters I have created have been of "average" endowment or less.

Thanks for the nice words guys (John especially coming from you, since this character was your design.  But it wasn't me that sculpted it, it was sculpted for me by Jim Maddox and it's in perfect Bowen 1/8 scale. 

Jim is also responsible for sculpting the Snowbird Mini Bust for Bowen



As well as a custom Puck I had made for my collection as well.  As it turns out Randy liked the Puck so much that he is produding it for his line of Mini Busts.



And if you guys think that this is something, wait till you see the Full Size Frankie  Raye Nova and Human Torch 3 

This is the original Photoshop concept for Nova, the base on the HTIII will be some ruptured chemical drums and her arms will be out streched, just as John most often drew her.

That Talisman bust is brilliant. I like the face, particularly - very serene and wise looking. The base is excellent, too.

Oh.My.GOSH.  I must have Puck.  What an amazing likeness.  Maybe he can replace the cigar with a prescription bottle with a peeling label.

Wow, that's the first time I saw that Snowbird bust fully painted. Looks spot-on to me!

I've always loved the idea of Puck and especially loved the way JB wrote and
drew him. It's a crazy shame with what was done to him. I wish there was a
way to get good 'ol Eugene Judd back to where he used to be. Of course he
might have ben blown up with the rest of Alpha for all I know.

JB .. I also like her arms back, as a matter of fact, the Nova statue is also based on one of your works
 
we just took a bit of artistic license with the angle.

The reason that I wanted the arms out streched for the HTIII, is because the  closest image that I could come up with to the flying Nova that I loved was this one:
 

I thought it would be cool to make both statues similar, but yet somewhat different.
