That Doc seems so well sculpted but it didn't really grab me when I saw it. Seeing the Larkin original, it's clearly only "inspired by". Much like some of the Adam Hughes mini-busts, a lot is lost between the artwork and the sculpture.

I'm not American, and I've never really liked his
comics, but by god I ALWAYS feel something stirring
whenever I see a well-sculpted Captain America statue.

Cap is just amazing. And even though I am no fan of metalic figures, this one looks great.

There's just no way to make Killer Moth look anything but silly, is there?
Killer Moth??

Killer Moth makes Captain Ultra look like Versace, doesn't he?

Yeah, Killer Moth does look kind of silly--though that was the appeal of this action figure to me. I'm a sucker for obscure/forgotten characters.
Thing is, the concept isn't bad--essentially evil version of Batman complete with analogs of Batman's gimmicks--but the costume kills it.
Lose 'Killer' from the name, lose the striped pants, tone the colors down, and you'd have a credible foe for Batman.

He's vaguely reminiscent of those anthropomorphic talking cockroaches from the old Raid bug killer commercials.

Lloyd, your prescription for the Killer Moth sounds like Steve Rude's
character, The Moth--

I love the Capt. America statue. Does that have to be ordered through the Website or does anyone know if it can be ordered through Previews ?

Looks like the Captain America is a Bowen website exclusive and will be made to order.
