Man of Wonders: Wonder Man Appreciation 2021

That's the Bowen Designs WM bust. There were 4 different ones done by that company. There's also a Safari Jacket, Black and red, and Ionic version.

Ah. Do you own them all?

[stingray]

No. Just the classic.

I have all except the green classic one. Love them!

I liked it, but I think it'd had been sooooooo much better if George had only switched the red to the center of the diamond and the dark green to cover the abbs. The way it was done, was just too wierd for me.

Peace

Loved it back then, but we are talking late 70s -- and styles could be a little more out there. I think the basic design could be revived with some alterations. Red leggings replaced with green and the boots changed to red. Remove the red from the abdomen -- but keep the arms red. But a lot of people don't like the green/red combo, so it probably wouldn't fly.

At the very least, I'd like to see the cowl/shades combo brought back.

[Phoenixx9]

I think we need to see Simon without red or purple energy in a new costume and with new colors. Something all new, all different.

[Panic]

I've fiddled with some of the colours, but there are so many variations and it's now late where I am. I can do more tomorrow if anyone has ideas they'd like to see.

[Panic]

You can drive yourself mad with the variations, and even the style of colouring changes the look.

Thank you for doing these, Panic!

These are all great to look at and are fun to see how the color makes a difference. None look quite right yet.........

I've tried putting the big 'W' instead of the 'WM' and fiddling with other bits and pieces, but nothing's quite right.

[Panic]

Probably my favourite, but still a little bland.

I really like the second one! Nice job.

[Phoenixx9]

Probably my favourite, but still a little bland.

Yeah, better than most, but bland and just not right somehow. I do not mind the boots. I think it is in the old waist jet packs and the upper half. Although I do like Simon with his arms out. He just looks better most times with his big biceps out.

Yeah, This is what I thought would make the costume better. Thanks.

This one is actually very good. I like it.

The first version is probably how it should have been colored in the 70s, but I don't know if that would have saved it.

I think the third needs a little red -- maybe boots and the arms. I'd probably extend the red to meet the yellow instead of cutting it off at the shoulders. If people don't like the green/red -- maybe change the green to blue. But I think Simon works better with head gear.
