    I see, like me, you have the White Sasquatch, not the Orange One yet (from Bowen).
    I got one of those Pucks over Amazon... and made sure to write the seller first.
    With the Sasquatches, I didn't see the point (at the time) of buying a second orange, but a white one...

    My Snowbirds are Diamond and Bowen, yes. The Diamond one has fingers.

    You said "at the time"... so now are you, like me, seeking the orange one as well?

    No, but I'm more open to the possibility than I was when I'd just spent all that money on busts.

    I dunno if you use eBay... but it's an excellent place to nab some of these VERY cheap.

    eBay is how I got several of those sculpts.
    It's not that cheap, though, when you have to add international postage.

    Yeah I have all the busts as well.
    Here is a great thread with interesting pictures of most of the bowen busts (as well as other great Alpha items)

    Amen!

    Reksuh - those are some cool images on there. Some Byrne AF art I hadn't seen. Woot!

    Thought I would just pad my post count a bit by showing the collection.

    Yeah, you have the unofficial one as well! Did you paint tally yourself?

    I hate you. LOL

    You have orange Sas and Vindicator... (and a custom Talisman?)

    The others I have.
    Your Snowbird isn't a Bowen either, though.
    I like the Bowen Snowbird more, because it has her arms and such.

    Though, really. It's Snowbird. As much as I love her, it doesn't matter.

    I've just checked against mind, and the armless one is the Bowen. The one with arms is Diamond. The one with no fingers is Diamond after a fall from a bookcase...

    Out of curiosity, Reksuh, why did you collect almost all the Bowens, but none of the Diamonds? And one fan-made?

    Yeah the armless one is the Bowen, you can tell by the sweet sweet base:



    I love the fact that all the creatures that Snowbird transformed into are worked into the base.

    I collected mainly Bowen because I thought they looked better than the Diamonds (especially in the case of Sasquatch although this kit is SUPER sweet)



    The Talisman kit I got because I came across her in my travels, and I LOVED the sculpt (and I think she is an integral part of Alpha Flight).
    I didn't paint her, I got to this stage and then chickened out



    It was almost a three year pain in the ass process, but the end result was pretty good.

    I'm glad that I haven't come across the Master or Wild Child
