This might sound like a cop-out answer, but all 3 are good representations and interpretations of Cap... each is good in it's own way... the first, reflecting on 9/11... the middle, the heroic pose... the third, about to lead the charge into battle... how can you really pick one over the others?... IMO...they're ALL GREAT!... VERY NICE, carrillj...

Don't have any-- if I were to buy one I'd buy the HH. Cap's a man of action, I prefer a statue that reflects that.

There's no competition. Bowen hands down!
It's the best interpretation of Cap in a statue to date. His pose is a museum pose, it's not supposed to show action. Instead it shows his heroic poise and stoic grace. The Bowen statue reflects Cap in all his glory.

I have both the DST and the Bowen, but my favorite is DST's. I like Bowen's as well but if I had to choose only one to have it would be the 9/11 tribute; one of my favorite statues.
I have not been won over by anything of HH yet...not the worst stuff out there by any means, but I usually find Bowen's items a bit more superior overall

I like the BD pose and best overall, but the face sculpt on the HH is much better detailed, I just don't care for the more comic book style.

I think the face on the hard hero is bar none the best of the three. All great sculpts mind you. The one Seth did for hard hero has a certain something about it that respesents Cap . THe pose doesn't work from all angles but in my opinion that one is the best.

Good post, man. The only one of those I own is the Bowen modern... but if the Hard Hero sculpt were 1/8 and not 1/6, it would be in my collection instead. Both pieces have their merits but Seth's Cap sculpt seems to best match the character as I remember him. It really accentuates his leadership role and determination. Every time I see it, it's an effort to hold back. I've limited myself to one sculpt per character and the ONLY reason I pass on it is the scale.
