In addition to appearing to be rising from a bubble bath, the Hela figure is far too literal for my taste. It has none of the weight of Kirby's creation, and looks like a normal woman wearing a Hela costume.This has been an increasing problem, I feel, with the Bowen statues, as they have shifted more and more to computer "sculpting." The poses, especially, have become very ordinary.

OK, John, here's a hand sculpted one by Mr. Bowen, himself:

I'm not sure how many JBF members collect Hallmark Keepsake Ornaments, but for the July 12th Premiere Event, there will be a limited release of The Rocketeer and Vina as the Orion Slave Girl from Star Trek: [Link]

I love Bowen statues. The Kingpin that came out a year ago is one of my favorites. Really enjoyed the recent Hobgoblin and Green Goblin as well. Now I wish we could get some news if the new contract with Marvel is happening or not. Some of the previews were amazing like the Shocker.

Yes -- as is often the case with the Sideshow stuff, there's a bit too much gingerbread for my taste, but as a whole, I'd pick one up, if I had room for it!
