Cap is just amazing. And even though I am no fan of metalic figures, this one looks great.

There's just no way to make Killer Moth look anything but silly, is there?

Killer Moth??

Killer Moth makes Captain Ultra look like Versace, doesn't he?

Yeah, Killer Moth does look kind of silly--though that was the appeal of this action figure to me.  I'm a sucker for obscure/forgotten characters.

Thing is, the concept isn't bad--essentially evil version of Batman complete with analogs of Batman's gimmicks--but the costume kills it.

Lose 'Killer' from the name, lose the striped pants, tone the colors down, and you'd have a credible foe for Batman.

He's vaguely reminiscent of those anthropomorphic talking cockroaches from the old Raid bug killer commercials.

Lloyd, your prescription for the Killer Moth sounds like Steve Rude's
character, The Moth--

I love the Capt. America statue.  Does that have to be ordered through the Website or does anyone know if it can be ordered through Previews ?

Looks like the Captain America is a Bowen website exclusive and will be made to order.

Product description:
In Stores June 2009
Marvel Wolverine Fine Art Bust
Sculpted by Takeshi Kimura, stands 9 inches tall above a specialized base
with a relief sculpture of Logan’s civilian face on the front. Each Fine Art
Bust is individually serial-numbered on its base and is constructed of cold
cast porcelain. As an added bonus, Wolverine’s wicked 2 1/3 inch long
claws are real metal.




Aside from the non JB styled claws, it looks pretty good.

That Cap Metallic statue is ONLY available through the Bowen Designs web-site AND is ONLY available for order until Jan 23.

These are being made to order only so are likely to be VERY limited.
