Totally missed this last week. Glad to see there will be a Phase IV for Bowen. Bring on the rest of Alpha Flight!
http://www.bowendesigns.com/page.asp?id=1
PRESS RELEASE: 12/06/2007
EXCELSIOR !!!
Bowen Designs has obtained a license renewal from Marvel to continue producing statues and mini-busts.
President and CEO Randy Bowen is quoted as saying:
“Holy Crap! I guess we’re gonna make more of this stuff!
I hope people still want more. This time we’re gonna go with some unusual designs, and character choices. The editions will probably be lower, but at least we’ll make it fun for the sculptors and collectors.
We were worried for a while there, as it took an amazingly long time to get this deal done this time around. We’re just happy to be making more items that have been requested by the fans.
To all our collectors who’ve been so patient about this announcement: Thank You!”
His company will continue to produce Marvel products in the same scale and price range that Bowen Designs fans have come to expect.

Alex Ross said in some interview that Batman should have brown eyes…

The "white eyes" are really part of the mask. You should not be able to see the real eyes of Batman - they are hidden and protected. Not sure when the real eyes started to show in the comics, was it when the first Batman movie came out in 1989 with Keaton? Adam West's version also showed his real eyes, but I did not think this was ever translated into the comics.
You can find a few covers back in the 90's that showed Batman with real blue eyes, but that was mostly in the close up shots, like the cover to #395. Best...

One of the strangest superhero drawings I've seen was a Grey Morrow
Spider-Man with the eyes showing. And I don't mean Ditko dots. I mean
the whole white area being open.
Some of the best artists in the world often show, in this strange and not-
so-subtle way, that they just don't get superheroes. It's up there with
the wrinkles and seams in the costumes*. I'm waiting for visible zippers!
*Excepting, obviously, those rare outfits that had 'em from the start.

There's that darned insistance on "realism" again. Same thing that keeps Hollywood from getting the suits right, IMHO.

I was going through boxes in my basement and found these. Anybody know what they are. They are about the size of a star wars action figure.

Matthew, they look like Micronauts to me, but it would be a guess. That one on the end with the red torso seems familiar.
