In this image we see it face on an hour glass formation. This is what I think the Bubble nebula is also similar.

but I really can't see the hourglass formation in the bubble nebula - although I see the similarities you are pointing out.

Look At the bubble again and the rear side of the bubble you will see the reverse of the hour glass formation.
