The most obvious to me is the slouch hat. The Bowen piece is very much the classic version of The Shadow, specifically the M W Kaluta version. The other piece shows a stylized fedora, not what I think of when I image my hero. Again, the scarf is something I can't emphasize enough as to being hated. Yes, the Bowen sculpt has the scarf but it ain't in color so it plays better. I like both of the faces but the nose has been shaved down for the one off piece and just comes off more as a regular man than the striking profile that has cast hundreds of shadows across classic covers for nearly ninety years.
