Well, as I have been absent from this message board for a couple of months now, I however, have not been completely absent from buying a few long sought after pieces. A thousand bucks later, I now finally own the 3 grails that have been on my hit list from day one of my collecting. I actually caught a break and was able to get these 3 over a 3 month span for "reasonable" prices. I say "reasonable" because it really hurt my wallet to put down the kind of money I did for these, but in the end, I'm quite pleased with them. I must say, since I bought these from e-Bay, I was extremely worried if they would arrive to me in mint condition as was described in their item description. Luckily enough, they did and I can't describe how relieved I am to have these in the condition they're in. And to boot, Supes and Wonder Woman even came with their original boxes. Enough talk, on to the pics!:)
In my opinion, each one of these represents the best statue version of each respective character. The Bowen Bats and Supes have always appealed to me because the Batman reminds me of a Kelley Jones/Aparo amalgam while Superman is pure Jurgens all the way. Wonder Woman really captpures Bollands style quite nicely as well.
