Bowen designs has better looking (at least to my mind) bust of Snowy coming out through Diamond. There are some images on the John Byrne Forum but I dunno how to post 'em here.

let's compare as we dare:
DIAMOND SELECT BIRDIE:
BOWEN BIRDIE:
Looks like there may be 2 full lines of AF busts!
I can't afford both. I guess I'll have to start picking and choosing. D'oh! And I already ordered the first Birdie (the second looks better, and I'll have to paint the first's eyes right).Originally Posted by Ben

-- Warner Books (US) blurb for Fearbook by John L. Byrne
Another Birdie bust?I'll end up in the poorhouse just trying to keep track of all the AF busts coming out!
Now I'll have two Birdies for my bedside table! I may have to get a cabinet to house all the AF figures coming out yet!
The Bowen Birdie bust does have interesting features. I especially like the base with all the Arctic animals. It's a good representation of Birdie's powers. When is this Bowen bust coming out? I'd like to see what this bust looks like when it's produced in color. It will no doubt be as gorgeous as the Diamond Select bust, (well, all right, so I'm a little prejudiced here). :P
On a positive note, I'm glad to see Alpha getting so much attention. Two lines of busts! The comics industry must think that there's still life in AF if they're going to manufacture all these products. Or am I just being optimistic and/or naive here?
The second bust with the arctic wildlife on the base does look GREAT!! Any chance of seeing a finished colored photo?
I'm hoping for Puck, or Northstar in his original black/white suit.
Although, I think a full-sized statue of Madison Jeffries leaning up against his box armor, the one Jim Lee designs, would be absolutely amazing IMO!
And a white variant shows up on eBay:
Here's the auction: 6031467087

Neat. It's a white Sasquatch on Snowbird's base, and therefore Snowbird in sasquatch form.
I want it.

It's just been solicited in the latest Previews so is available to order now.
Has anyone seen the other Sasquatch bust with the claws?
They look nice, dunno if i could afford them. The only bust i have so far is Francine from Strangers in Paradise.
You mean the version with arms?
Yes, I've seen it. I'm looking at it right now. It's on this computer tower, and I can touch tyeoiusae.

"Each problem solved introduces a new unsolved problem."
Wonderful news! I received my Snowbird bust, (from Diamond Select), today! It's numbered 245 of 2500. And it's so beautiful! I already gave it the place of honor on my bedside table.
How about the rest of you? Have you received your orders yet?
Ah, Sue, you must be so happy!
Mine's coming through a comic shop, and I'm not sure I trust them. (I recently checked my order, and they only had me down for one Birdy, instead of both Birdies and Heather).
But, I've just ordered Mac and White Sas over ebay! Yay!
