I would be down to reading some classic stories staring Marvel Herc! theirs would so much to work with...his original 12 labors taken "seriously" would be a great read. Plus him joining jason and the argo's and titan slaying would all catch my interest. We got alittle taste of Herc in ancient time in "Incredible Hercules" i would love to explore those stories in a more elaborate fashion. Maybe even some behind the scenes never before told stories...like him training with and helping some of the many different heroes of greek mythology in their many quests that just didnt make the history books.

@PowerHerc: Thanks bro i knew you would appreciate some of these guys! i tried turning a pixar cars toy into herc but, but it ended up being a disaster. didnt have the right paint for it and those little guys have a bunch of small details that i wasnt prepared for heh. Also i wasnt sure if it would have translated into hercules...i picked out a muscle car of course (mustang/challenger) an was going to go with a orange base with green double stripe down the middle, with a car "bra" to simulate his beard but, even with all that, less i mold a gold head band with hair on the top, i dont think it would translate into "hercules".

i also got the variant mini bust today! im glad you talked me into buying it.

Plus i havent had any luck with the mystery statues. i joined statueforum.com and asked about both but the only real answer i got was that their most likely kits made in Brazil (i think the one you own is for sure) the other one was told its most likely an early ARH statue (then ppl started telling me which herc statue was better bowen/hardhero). try to contact them about it with no answer. i checked their FAQ which said:

4. Are the old kits and statues produced before the incorporation, or the ones produced in Brazil, still available?

NO! ARH Studios Inc. does not produce or sell anything that is not displayed on our website. Everything that was produced in the past is now in the past!

i was like "ook" i guess theirs some underline issue their but, its pretty clear all that it is to be forgotten on there part. The only thing i can think is searching other statue collections and if you see they have one make an offer or wait for it on ebay. whatever...im happy with my 4 statues plus, the "ARH" statue is probably way out of my price ranch. Stinks i couldnt get more info that you didnt already know.

Talk to you soon man, take care

im pretty happy bout my latest customs

like the 90s toybiz kevin sorbo turned into Hercules! "who knew that would work so well?" plus my new Thorcules with a Goblet of possibly... fine wine? And my newest gimmicky hercules race car...i though since spiderman, hulk, iron lad, and thor had a million of these Herc deserved one as well (really proud of it)

Great collection of produced and rare statues, figures and collectibles! I have the two Herc's statues the regular Herc bust, the Marvel figure, the heroclix and the minimate. I would love to have a figure of Herc in his recent outfit with the shield and sword. I'm happy with my little collection, but it pales in comparison :-)

Thanks for the kind words friend!! Great to meet fans of Hercules. from new guy to new guy welcome to the boards. Heres hoping for more Hercules products to increase both are collections, tell then ill continue to try an make herc is as many forms of plastic as possible! im thinking like 90s toybiz style figure next...theirs a absolute great custom one posted under hercules products i would suggest every herc fan check out!

Thanks again for your time

Not a fan of the Herc, but very lovely collection.

Thank you Mtharman, but i must ask, have you read any of the "Incredible Hercules" Series. Its amazing! In the "Hercules Against the World" story arc, he and ares have an all out epic brawl! With good story telling and comedy to boot.

Thanks for stopping by

couple new additions

@PowerHerc: haha ya ill trade you the cup for the statue lol. ill pm you if i see another. got the minimate already (must have for me) hes on the bottom right. lmk if you have/know anything eles you dont see in my pics

thanks

@PowerHerc: im going to contact em just to make sure its them or not. Maybe even join their forum an inquire their heh. then im going to have my wife email bowen an see if he has any idea what these are (they had some back an forth convo (email/phone) during the holidays when she tried to find the bowen statue i now own for christmas). If they are "one of a kind" "brazilian made" then CURSE YOU FOR SHOWING ME!!! hah jk. ill let you know if i find something or not.

Oh an i just bought a champions 7/11 cup i found yesterday on evilbay. pretty happy about it. I just put my bowen mini bust in my collection an im really contemplating buying the variant..at first i thought it was just a different color but the sash looks textured and the belt is different. hmmm maybe if find a good price

You got it friend.

i just got through with a quick google search on that last one regarding ARH studios an couldnt find anything...which im sure your having the same problem. you try contacting em?

@PowerHerc: wow two really amazing pieces! it just seems so strange that their would be no info on these guys :/

Thanks for sharing
