When you think of DC there’s the Justice League and with Marvel there’s the Avengers. You get Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, etc. with DC and Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, etc. with Marvel. Each side has its own supporting casts as well. One of the coolest characters of the Mighty Avengers is the Android known as Vision http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vision_(Marvel_Comics).
Bowen Designs is a company that creates fantastic statues and busts. Together with the Shiftlett brothers (http://www.shiflettbrothers.com/), Randy Bowen re-created one of the Avengers' formidable member, the Vision.
I borrowed this statue from Jon a long time ago and decided to take some picture of it again for this blog. If you are a statue collector and space is your concern then Bowen statues should be your preference. This statue is approximately 15 inches tall and has the classic Vision pose. This statue was released September of 2005 and has a production run of 2000 pieces. The variant version, Vision Phasing statue, is limited to 300 pieces.

Whenever I take picture of statues I take into consideration what are the good qualities of each piece. It may be the paint job, the facial details, the pose or even the base. It all depends on what I see.
The fact that I use a macro lens for my statue shots means that any imperfections will definitely be shown in the picture.
The Vision’s classic pose is nice and the head sculpt (though simple) is right on the comic book rendition. Hats off to the combo of Randy and the Shiftlett brothers for this great looking piece.
