Comic Statues & Busts: Captain America Statues from Hero Statues

A Bowen Designs Sculpt! In the dark days of World War II Army Private Steve Rogers was given the Super Soldier serum and became the patriotic super-hero and defender of democracy, Captain America! This 12 «" tall statue sculpted by Randy Bowen captures the patriotism and power of one of the iconic comic characters! Painted and ready to display.

I first took notice of comic book statues in the late 90s, when a relatively unknown artist by the name of Randy Bowen released statues of Thor, Daredevil, Doctor Doom, and original Captain America. These sculptures had well proportioned physiques, subtle facial expressions and poses, and unique bases. They aren't as detailed as say, Clayburn Moore's Barbarian statue or even Bowen's own Death Dealer statue, but he captured the timeless poses of each character as a comic book fan would imagine them in real life. This new and improved Cap statue just arrived and does not disappoint.

As one reviewer points out, a few details are different from the advertised photos, including details of the jaw area, head feathers, and color shading. This was the case with the Thor statue as well, with less-than-appealing results. However, the changes work well for this Captain America statue. The faded gold color of the base emblem doesn't distract the viewer from the statue itself, and darker blue costume gives added realism. His mouth and jaw are less protruding, which projects a more reserved and humble-looking persona.

But don't take my word for it, you can check out statueforum online to see some high-res images. Happy statue hunting!

I purchased this sculpture recently and I disliked it immensely because several things were changed for the worse that not only affected the quality but were also done without informing the customer.

The well crafted and detailed wings on the head were replaced with an unimaginative dull variation. The bright, shiny, candy blue coloring that can be seen in the images has been replaced with a standard, dull blue finish instead that just looks lifeless. The face was re-sculpted and lastly the beautiful base shown in the picture with it's brightly golden Presidential Seal has been replaced with a lackluster base with a seal that is nearly as black as the rest of the base and almost unnoticeable.

The pictures shown by Bowen Designs here and elsewhere are misleading. They are actually those of the prototype sculpture. The one that Bowen Designs ships to people like you or I has several drastic changes that take away from the uniqueness of the piece.

Like his previous incarnation in the Winter Soldier Fine Art Statue, the New Captain America is dynamically posed flying through the air, crashing into three Hydra troopers. Also sculpted by Junnosuke Abe the modern American hero is outfitted in his current costume, blending the traditional with the new. The classic red, white, and blue are offset by the new black bodysuit, complete with utility belt, combat knife, and pistol! Of course, he is clutching Rogers' original iconic shield. The hero's face is a grimace of anger and determination as he dispenses his own brand of justice.

Standing 13 inches tall, the New Captain America has the same high-quality cold cast porcelain construction that all of The Kotobukiya Collection shares, and is a limited, numbered edition. His base forms the other half of the Captain America shield symbol, matching up with the Winter Soldier Fine Art Statue's so the two heroes can fight back to back in a stunning diorama scene! Statue

This is an amazing statue. it is just beautiful. i and they shipped it way before scheduled so it got here very early. the statue looks amazing and would make any fan of the cap happy.

"Marvel Collection: Captain America Fine Art Statue" by Kotobukiya is a great piece, about a little over 13 inches in height. The details and quality are outstanding. The paint job is done very nice, very colorful. Another "Must" for any Captain America fan. I got it at a great price at Amazon's Market place. Thank you!

Steve Rogers was a scrawny fine arts student, in the 1940's, before America entered World War II. Attempting to enlist in the army, he is turned away, but offered an alternative way to serve his country by being a test subject in a Top Secret defense research project. Rogers accepts and is given the formula dubbed the "Super Soldier Serum" and exposed to a controlled burst of "Vita-Rays," which activate and stabilized the chemicals in his system. The process successfully altered his physiology from its frail state to the maximum of human efficiency. Rogers is given a costume modeled after the American flag, a bulletproof shield, a personal sidearm and the codename: Captain America. After a bomb explosion toward the end of WWII where he was presumed dead he resurfaces and accepts membership in the Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D. commanded by his old war comrade Nick Fury. This beautiful 1940's version of his full size shield is a replica as issued to Rogers is expertly hand formed steel and hand painted. Do to this there may be some minor variation between shields as there would have been in 1940, we've kept it as accurate as possible! It even has the leather carry straps on the back, bolted in place per the blueprints provided by Marvel and proper curvature to the steel. Includes full size, wood display plaque which mimics an old Army crate and is hand stenciled, plus full color, numbered certificate of authenticity. Only 250 will be made so get to it soldier.
