Absolutely going to be adding the Kingpin to my Spiderman rogues.
HOWEVER, I still don't like the mask on the base. I don't care if it's Daredevil or Spiderman, I just don't like it. I would like to take the opportunity to vote that the mask be replaced with a copy of the Daily Bugle (perhaps it headlines as 'Wilson Fisk: The Kingpin of Crime" or something that might implicate him as such.)
I think that would appease the fans who want to include him in a DD setup, as well as those who want him for a Spiderman setup.
Thoughts?
Either way, I'm VERY happy to see this getting a release! THANK YOU MR. BOWEN!

I'm with you...I don't care for the mask either. Other than that, it's absolutely perfect!
Not digging the facial expression, I wish it were more of a stern look. Randy mastered that stern look with classic museum Thor and museum Cap...it would be nice if Kdawg toned down the expression a bit.
Would like to add Kingpin to my full statues of Spidey foes: Mysterio, Electro, Kraven the Hunter, The Scorpion, The Sandman, The Lizard, The Rhino & Carnage. I know I missed out on Doc Ock & The Vulture. At least I have most of them including Kingpin as Bowen Busts. Still hoping Mr. Bowen will do busts of Hammerhead, Tombstone, Jack O'Lantern & Molten Man.
His head needs to be bigger. It's way out of proportion to his body. This has become the norm in sculpting today (statues, action figures) and it bugs the hell out of me. This sculpt is obviously based on Romita Sr.'s version and he never drew the head that small. I also don't like the big, freaky McFarlane eyes on the Spidey mask. It should be a classic Romita Sr. mask. Other than that, this could be a real winner and one that so many have looked forward to.
Honestly, I don't think we are going to have to worry about anything.
A: This is KDawg we are talking about. Look at the Super Skrull FS. The man knows his stuff.
B: This is just the digital. Once I'm sure there will be some tweaks here and there, but overall it still looks good. I just think the top suit should be a bit tighter especially around the arms.
Overall, I'm a happy man. Kingpin is FS I have been waiting for a long long time to happen.
I vote no to the mask as well: it's a classic Kingpin statue but with a modern Spider-Man mask! Looks totally inconsistent and as if the sculptor hasn't done any research of the character or era at all.
The statue itself looks fine in this form but I would prefer the Daily Bugle as suggested above.
Wow this one caught me by surprise! Looks awesome! I'm glad he has more of an animated expression, really brings the pose to life. Will the mask be swappable? I'd have a hard time deciding between Spidey and DD....
