Lord of the Rings Figures

[Darby]

Ooh, wish lists.  

Everybody has great ideas.  I would include:

Eowyn (White Lady of Rohan)
Amon Hen Aragorn
Isildur
Elendil
Gil-Galad
Smeagol / Deagol 2 pack
Gandalf the Grey resculpt


I found King Aragorn, Armored Pippin, Harad Archer, and the 'new' Legolas today.  All cool, although the Archer's head comes off a bit too easily (fits right back on.)  Legolas is sans Rohan Armor save for his sword, which comes off no problem, so you have an easy Amon Hen/ROTK Leggy.

Yeeehaaw a deluxe Oliphaunt would rule!   Imagine how big that sucker would be though!!!   Oh man I am drooling thinking about that

[Fettish Sez Thanks]

Woo Hoo!





My Helms Deep Legs is M.I.A., and I hated his BROWN hair, so this is great replacement.

BTW, that Boromir is crap. His face looks animated, and he is lacking detail like something fierce.

Damn, sweet Legolas. I still like the Rohan one better, but that's just based on the photos.

My wishlist:
Amon Hen Aragorn- my custom sucked. Wasted a Strider on that one.
Rivendell Elrond
Rivendell Arwen
A Galadriel that doesn't suck
More Prologue figures
New Gandalf the Grey
Amon Hen versions of Legolas, Boromir, and Gimli.
Rohirrim on Horseback-obvious pack missed by TB
Eomer in armor without a bug-catching mouth
whatever Eowyn figures TB can crank out, like maybe a Faramir/Eowyn 2-pack from the end of ROTK
and finally, Denethor.

Got me a Trilogy - Boromir yesterday at Target, it is sweet.

My Kb-Toys is not re-stocking till March are any of your guys's doing that?

[Fettish Sez Thanks]

I passed on that Boromir because like I said before, he looked like crap. His face looks animated, his beard is painted on, not sculpted, the rest of his body isn't detailed, and his "shield" looks like a 2 tone Nilla wafer.

[Mainland05]

True the quality does suck, his eyes are like closed.  But i am a completist in my collection so i had to collect it, and i was excited because it is a pretty rare figure.  

[Darby]

A bit snarky there, Cory.   To each his own.

[Fettish Sez Thanks]

Well, thats just my opinion. Apparently, now it's shared since the figure went from "sweet", to the quality indeed "sucking". It wouldn't have been too hard to re-release the superior Boromir, from the FOTR red card series.

[Darby]

You don't have to edit yourself, dude.  We're all just voicing our opinions.  Mine is yours was a little snarky.  No harm, no foul.  And the paint job on Boromir's head sucks.  And he is the TTT card version, just with bad paint apps.  He's worthwhile mainly for the new accessories and custom potential.

Got my Arwen this morning: complete with light-up chest   Much better value for a loose collector than trying to find the set with the horse.

[Darby]

Right after I ordered the horse set from KB they announced the Trilogy Arwen.  Sigh.  I may be her yet, depending on how good the sword is.  Is she worth it, obi?

[obi_robz]

I have to say the sword was the one thing I found a bit disappointing: it’s a lot softer than most of the others in the line, and mine is quite bendy. I’m going to try and heat and reset it. If you can find one in-store then make sure the sword is in good shape. I had to get mine online because the Trilogy figures aren’t available here yet, so I was buying “blind”.

Maybe it’s supposed to be this shape…I don’t follow these things.

[Darby]

Well, it's definitely curved, and looks like the one she had in the film.  

[obi_robz]

I'm happy with the curve of the bottom picture - that looks like it did in the film (and on the back of the packaging, but in the top picture (looking down on the sword) you can see that it "waves" / bends left and right.
