Oh, yeah! I finally was able to purchase one of the M W Kaluta/Randy Bowen Shadow busts. It had a little damage on it but I've touched it up and am now moving it from spot to spot in my studio/sanctum. As soon as my office becomes available (Monday) I'll probably work the studio around this little gem of a sculpt. I love it. Definitely worth the very long wait.
Neat, Joe! Ebay? I'll stop checking it now...Welcome to the I-Own-A-Kaluta-Shadow-Bust Club [VERY exclusive, don'tcha know!].
ReplyDeleteBuy it now. Couldn't resist, even with the paint chips. I took a bit of paint to it and it looks fine. One day I'll take the trouble to mask it off and hit it with some fixative to even out the texture. Sure do love it, though. Next up, a ring. When I get my year subscription sent in that should (kind of) take care of that, what with the premium that Anthony is offering.
ReplyDeleteVery cool... I just bought one of those "Shadow Agent" rings [released at the time of the movie]; put my Doc Savage statue up on Ebay to get the $; I guess we know where MY loyalties lie! Haven't gotten it yet but am going to post the auction pic of it on THE COBALT CLUB site. Meanwhile, great catch, Joe! Would it be too nosy to ask what you nailed it for?
ReplyDelete$100 + $15 s & h. Very pleased indeed. Can't wait to see your ring. Always considered one but for some reason just didn't like them enough. Guess I always wanted one that I thought looked the way I imagined. The premium that I'll be getting is, as you probably know, a reproduction of the one Gibson's wife had made for him. It'll serve me until I have the one I want made.
ReplyDelete$ioo is a great deal; you lucked out, I think! Just got the ring about an hour ago; looks great. Not exactly the Rozen Shadow ring, but..It'll do in a pinch, which is what it'd be if I tried to wear it; I've got big fingers...Glad you got your bust!
