Well, I decided it was finally time to post pictures of my humble collection. While I just started collecting a couple of months ago, I'm happy to already have several of the pieces I most wanted. While it's by no means an impressive display or even photography (yet!), I hope to one day wow you guys the way some of you have wowed me. Here's to my beginnings!
Of course, I have to start with the one piece that started it all- my Cyclops bust:
Next here's a shot of all my FS Bowens thus far:
Some close ups:
Professor X:
I am SO impressed with Professor X! The details on the chair are amazing! I'm so happy I got it.
Astonishing Cyclops:
Jim Lee Jean Grey!!!
I cannot stress enough how much I love this piece! I know you can't really tell in the picture but her face is BEAUTIFUL! I love her green eyes, even though you can't really tell in this pic. She is FLAWLESS! There is not one thing wrong with this piece.
Phoenix:
Can't wait to get Dark Phoenix, too, and complete my Jean set!
Anyway, there you have it, folks! I hope to be adding my next pieces real soon!
Very cool! That Jean statue was my 1st. Still one of the best. I just wish the side panels were blue like they later were. Looked better than that odd off yellow/brownish colour. But this is accurate to her earlier look of the costume.

Yes, I definitely love this Jean. The only thing I wish was slightly different is that I wish her hair was more red. She looks too brunette. But still a fantastic piece.

Not really off the top of my head. As of now just collecting what I like and can get my hands on, but most likely I'll end up having a 90's/Lee/blue and gold collection and a modern/astonishing collection.

Sweet. I know when I started out I collected whatever I could lol I've narrowed it since then but a Jim Lee 90's and Astonishing/modern set up will look awesome.
Here's my latest addition: White Queen! (Purchased from board member meatgoat!)
So happy to add her to my X-Crew!
Also... update on my collection thoughts... Looks like I'll be branching out from just X-Men to Spider-Man and his villains as well. I ordered Action Spider-Man at my LCS and noticed they also had Vulture, Sandman, and Doc Ock in stock. I don't know if I can just let them sit there... I think I need to bring them home!

I have had that same issue about Spidey. Luckily I've managed to stay away, but I've seen some of the Sinister Six displays on here and have been jealous

Thanks! And Reme, I think it's time we dove into the dark side! Let's get our Spidey on!
Also, that new Cap that just went up for order isn't making things easy, either. It's just so shiny! ...and cheap. lol

Thanks! Yeah, Emma is definitely a great addition to the lineup.
And that Venom is pretty sick. In fact... I think I may have seen that at a LCS. I'll have to call and check. But... yup. I officially have Action Spidey on the way so looks like I'll also be delving into Spidey.
