As I ended up confusing myself in various threads in the news section, here's a rundown of the various busts available;

Bowen/Marvel Vindicator (http://x-worldcomics.com/YourVirtualStore/html/p15011.htm)

I posted this earlier, on the wrong thread, but I now have all these except the Bowen Sasquatch (I'm getting the Snowbird Transmutation version via ebay, should be on its way; not getting both); and the Bowen Birdie, which isn't released yet, of course (but it's not order).

Yay! My Diamond Birdie is #12!! Yay! (Imagine me doing a Gir dance. Or, the dance of joy...)

Speaking of busts...Here is an amazing one that somebody on the Byrne Board commissioned(so probably nobody else will get one)....

Cool huh? I think it's a really amazing sculpture(even John Byrne likes it). There is a Puck sculpture lower down too....Just thought I'd share.

Wow, that Talisman bust is outstanding. Maybe the best one I've seen yet.

[Phil]

The Puck one is amazing... and good to hear he'll now be officially made.

[Phil]

EDIT: Apparantly there are 2 versions of the Bowen brown/orange Sas one;

One with a treescape base ltd to 100
One with a snowcapped brown base ltd to 2000

[Le Messor]

Oeww no!

Not another variant! Agh! I can't afford it!
(This is pleased frustration, btw.)

Not so pleased frustration is the 'We made a beautiful Talisman figure, but you can't buy it' bit. Agh! Wish they'd release that. Want it want it!

How soon before I have to order Puck?

I received not one, but two, AF busts on Saturday!
:D

The first was Vindicator, (#62 of 2500); gorgeous. I particularly like the visor.

And the second is the Bowen Sasquatch, (#1803 of 2000), with a rock base and a very masterful expression.

I put them both on the new bookcase in our bedroom. Quite a collection!

[Ben]

yah, so good luck to anyone who wants to get thier paws on that Sasquatch varriant! Looks like you'll have to get lucky, or shell out some cash!!!

I received my Bowen Snowbird/Sasquatch bust just today! :D It's as beautiful as the other AF busts! I'm going to put it on top of my bookcase along with all the other AF busts, (except for Snowbird; she's on my bedside table). Have any of you folks who ordered it, received the white Sasquatch variant bust yet?

[Ben]

I got mine a couple weeks ago

There are plans from Bowen to extend the AF line!

[Phil]

Cannot wait for that Puck man... I'll get that no matter the shipping fees!!!!

[Snowsquatch]

Whoa, the Shaman is very dramatic!

[birdygirl]

How wonderful that Bowen is extending their Alpha Flight line! :D And two wonderful busts! I agree that Shaman looks dramatic, and Puck looks so proud and happy! I'll definitely make room for these guys!

And I wouldn't mind having busts of Northstar, Aurora, Marrina, and Talisman, also! :wink:

[Ryan Maxwell]

And Box!

[birdygirl]

Definitely Box. That would be a standout character!

I'm happy to see so much attention being paid to AF. The fact that Bowen is extending their line probably means that the Alpha busts are selling well. Marvel should pay attention to this, and give us another Alpha series!

I personally think Box would make a great build your action figure additioin to the Marvel Legends line. Think about building your own Box one piece at a time. How much fun? And what a cool figure it'd be to have!!!

[Ryan Maxwell]

Ah, but which Box? 'Evil' blue and yellow Box? Good red Box with squared chin? I'd say go for Omega Flight blue Box. I think that's a great idea, too. I've just started putting together a Heroclix of our big metal robot.

[Le Messor]

Ooh, Shaman! Finally! He didn't get an action figure.

And, I have a job now!

I want, I want!

*bump to include any Omega Flight related Busts*

[Barnacle13]

As far as I know there are only Beta Ray Bill and USAgent mini busts out there. On the Marvel Legends action figure line there are BRB and Spider-woman II (Arachne). There may be a USAgent there as well, but I haven't seen it.
