[boondocksaint]

ouch!$$$$

[Bullseye]

ouch!$$$$

Ditto.

[RickDTM]

OUCH is right, but DAMN that's nice.....Wonder who makes it? Doesn't look like a Sideshow piece.....


Rick

[Bullseye]

Not sure I thinks its a company called master replicas, They have done some nice Star Wars stuff too. They tend to have a glass covering.

[Bullseye]

Heres a couple more of those Star Wars replicas.

[boondocksaint]

i really want that x-wing but only because it has mark hammils autograph! LOL

[Bullseye]

Its available at Elm Street, Spanish Website.

[Confessor]

Damn it! Darn it! Frag it!! :mad:

It's pieces like this that tempt me strongly to do what I have successfully avoided so far...expand my "full sized superhero statues only" rule and get into full sized LOTR statues & props.

That is super-nice!!!

:thumbs2:

[boondocksaint]

confessor i recently caved in and bought the full sized MORGUL LORD statue(thanks zurb) this statue is awesome....it doesnt hurt to expand a little a diverse collection always looks cool.

[Daredevil]

wait until you guys see the Sauron statue that will be coming out in January.. it will blow your brains out. That thing is GIGANTIC! Think Galactus statue

[boondocksaint]

what was the retail on sauron?

[Daredevil]

$300 big ones

[Confessor]

Iknow, I know...you're right. But if I go for it...it's gonna be all out, baby. The quality is so nice, I'll have to get all the ones I want or fraggin' bust. Some of the faces of the men & hobbits don't quite look right to me, but I'd have to get all the non-bust stuff.

Whew, that'd be a lot of work, too...

[Confessor]

$300 big ones


Is it reasonably "gettable" now (for January)?

[Daredevil]

Nope, they have spent the last 6 months working on this thing. I'm willing to bet the details on the statue will dwarf those of Randy's statues.

[Bullseye]

You wont' regret buying the LoTR stuff, your only regret is not starting earlier. The likes of the Cave Troll and Balrog are now touching $2000. They originally retailed at $300.

I would generally agree with you but they are more expensive.

[RickDTM]

Bullseye is right. Your only regret will be that you didn't start earlier! I agree w/ you on some of the human characters....they are a little bit off...but the villains and all the creatures are incredible!!

Rick

[Bullseye]

Rick which of the upcoming pieces will you be investing in. I have Sauron on order, thinking about Gandalf on Shadowfax.

[Confessor]

From the Sauron pic (thanks DD), I wish his legs weren't quite so thin-looking. They could've done this a bit different or had a cloak/cape cover this a bit. Anyone else note this?

[Bullseye]

The picture I've seen has been too small, but I do take your point. It depends on how his cloak is finished i guess. But looking at the size of his gaunlet in the sculpters hand its going to be huge.

[Confessor]

I wish that there were some single place where all that is being released and all that has been released relating to LOTR were posted...a sort of check off list, if you will.

[RickDTM]

Bullseye - I've got the Sauron and the Gothmog on Warg currently on order. Got an Uruk Hai Berserker (thanx Zurb!!) and a Lurtz statue on the way thanx to the Church of eBaysia! :D

Rick

[Daredevil]

If anyone is interested, I have a King Elendil bust available ..http://i7.ebayimg.com/01/i/02/e1/05/91_12_sb.JPG

[Bullseye]

Gothmog on Warg, I just don't know yet. Gothmog looks strange but the Warg looks good.

Rick

Don't forget, you've got an Ugluk coming with my wounded Berserker just to make sure nothing else happens to him on the way :)

[Bullseye]

Zurb did you ever pick up Ugluk?

[Zurbaran1]

Its available at Elm Street, Spanish Website.

Speaking of Elmstreet Bullseye after I went and struggled with my Spanish to send them an inquiry this is what I got back from them:

gracias por su correo. Yo no soy español either & most important thing is
people understand each other (which normally does not depend on the
language). Sorry...I'm afraid it would cost a tremendous amount to send you
the bust to the States and you also have to keep in mind that we have to
charge you in ? and we don't do CC payment. I'm really sorry, but all this
does not sound like a good bizz for you.

Thx & best

elmstreet

I appreciated their response and it sounds as if for them to ship these LOTR Sideshow pieces to the US is probablygoing to be much more expensive and not worth the effort on our part. Too bad, they sound like a reputable outfit.

[Zurbaran1]

Zurb did you ever pick up Ugluk?

Sure did. And I managed to scare one up for Rick at a reasonable price.

[RickDTM]

For which I am grateful!! Ugluk and the Berserker Zurb pointed me in the direction of will just about complete my Uruk collection!

[Bullseye]

Yeah hoping to pick one of those up myself. I'll see if I can get it over in NY otherwise will pick it up on ebay. $180 - $200 should do it.

[Bullseye]

Sorry about the Elm Street connection. Its a pity. My friend is getting his Ringwraith on Steed shipped on Monday. Could you not get it shipped to your relatives in Spain?

[Zurbaran1]

Yeah hoping to pick one of those up myself. I'll see if I can get it over in NY otherwise will pick it up on ebay. $180 - $200 should do it.

Bullseye. I just realized. I know where there's an Ugluk right now. I'll PM you.

[Bullseye]

Cheer Zurb, Just PM'd you.

[Zurbaran1]

Bullseye. I've got the Gandalf on Shaodwfax ordered as well and I have to tell you, i think that is going to be one of the best ones released to date. I'm pretty sure that someone I know told me they actually saw it, at a trade show or somewhere, and that it was was just jaw dropping fantastic. It is a big piece.

[RickDTM]

I wasn't smart enough to pre-order one...but oh how I wish I did! That piece is going to be some kind of sweet....please post pics when you get it!!


Rick

[Bullseye]

They are still available on some uk sites. Sterling to Euro it works out expensive. I may have a lead on one will know more in early January.

[P1X4R]

$549.99!! for sauron's gauntlet! dudes, here ya go..

http://www.johns-toys-store.com/store/prodinfo.asp?number=LORW9&variation=&aitem=1&mitem=1

[RickDTM]

Thanx for that link P1!! That's mo' like it!!


Rick

[Zurbaran1]

Rick, that's Dana P's shop. If you are interested in that one drop him a PM. You might be able to get an even better deal

[RickDTM]

This just keeps getting better!

Thanx Zurb!

[Zurbaran1]

On cue, the head madman appears. Get thee thy gauntlet Rick!!!

[CKinSD]

Rick.. DAna is great to deal with. Above and beyond should be his motto. good luck!

[dfchang]

There's lots of sites that still sell the gauntlet for 350 or so. That should be the going price until it actually comes out during which the price on ebay will fall to as low as 270 or so.

That's what happened to the companion piece Sauron's Helm. Both are released by a companpy called United Cutlery that specializes in prop replicas including Lord of the Rings.

Master Replicas puts out the electronic version of the props and so far only has two products out. Sting and Sauron's Finger.

A few on-line sites I know of for sure that has this available are Kult of Athena and World of Weapons.

Hope that helps.

Dennis

[Bullseye]

Zurb weren't you looking for Borimers Bust. Its on that site.
http://www.johns-toys-store.com/store/products.asp?dept=92

[Zurbaran1]

Yes, I've seen that. It's also still available from Sideshow (at least for US customers).

[Bullseye]

You'es US cutomers buying up all SS. Its not fair.

[P1X4R]

from their website.

"Customers also benefit from the fact that we back all of our products with a 100% satisfaction and 110% price protection/matching guarantee!"

[Faken]

I know this is old, but did anyone end up getting this? It was made by United Cutlery I think... I have a friend who wants one and I was wondering if anyone had photos of what it looks like aside from the standard prototype I find everywhere.

Thanks :)

[Trilogy]

Way to bring an old thread back to life. ;)

I have one, its a great replica, beautifully crafted. Not sure if I have any pics though.

[Faken]

Well, no one can accuse me of not using the search LOL! If anyone can post pics of theirs I'd really appreciate it :)

[Trilogy]

Well, no one can accuse me of not using the search LOL! If anyone can post pics of theirs I'd really appreciate it :)

Yep, you certainly know how to use the search feature. lol

I haven`t got any pics on file, so give me a few minutes and I`ll go take a couple of quick snaps.

[Poisonous]

First time i'd have to disagree with you Ed, i love it :thumbs2:

Whys that P? I always thought it complemented it quite well.

[Faken]

AWESOME! Thank you so much for taking the time to snap some pics, VERY much appreciated :)

Dan

[P1X4R]

it's just me. :) for some reason it doesn't "flow". it feels like it's in some kind of old fashioned light bulb. i'm currently using the same display but i think i'll eventually have it inside a bigger display case.

[Trilogy]

AWESOME! Thank you so much for taking the time to snap some pics, VERY much appreciated :)

You`re welcome. I`m glad I could help. :thumbs2:

Thats fair comment P. If you do change the way you display it, I`d be interested in seeing how it looks.

[Vader]

Wasn't this made by United Cutlery?

[Trilogy]

Wasn't this made by United Cutlery?

Yes it was.

[JSA]

Yep, made by UC.

Be careful - the glass dome is mighty fragile, and mine
arrived smashed into pieces.........very sharp pieces.
Got a replacement though, and all was well and good.

[beerninja]

Sorry to necropost but I just got one of these and I'm having a hell of a time figuring out how to mount it because no instructions came in my box. I'm ashamed to have to resort to instructions (I'm a guy after all) but I spent an hour messing with the metal rods and I can't figure it out...

Anyone have one that knows which hole the two rods go into?

I have one short bent rod, and one long rod that I'm assuming is the main support. Then there is one hole in the center and one hole a level below that (both threaded). I'm thinking the bent rod is to keep the thumb from falling back too far but I'll be damned if I can figure how how to position it :(

'lil help would be awesome thanks :)

edit: also does the looped rod go into the index finger or middle finger?

[Trilogy]

The bent rod does indeed support the thumb, which fits into the lower hole provided. Once the rods are in place slip the gauntlet over the top carefully manoeuvring it into position so the rods can slide into their relevant finger/thumb.

If I remember correctly it's somewhat of a loose fit, leaving the gauntlet simply hanging on these two supports.

[Bullseye]

What a great word "necropost". LOL

[El Diablo]

What a great word "necropost". LOL

had a laugh at that one myself! :laugh:

[El Diablo]

Man, this is an old thread! :laugh:

[Bullseye]

LOL sure is

[Titanchuck]

Man, this is an old thread! :laugh:

:hilarious: i saw this thread and was like wow I gotta get one of these before they sellout !!!then I saw your post and finally got aound to looking at the date of this thread..I was like oh no wonder they're all gone

[beerninja]

I just spent another 45 minutes on the thing but when I mount it, it still leans way to the right :(

I'm assuming the logo plate goes in the front, the looped rod goes into the index finger, and the bent rod physically goes inside of the glove.

Only problem is that the bent rod's threads won't go all the way into the lower hole. Strangely enough the looped rod screws in perfectly to both holes. I'm probably going to have to drill the lower hole a bit to get the threads to fit.

The only way I can seem to get it balanced properly is with the looped rod into the middle finger though. That's not what the pics look like either:

1st pic- some guy mounted almost perfectly
2nd pic - 100% perfectly mounted
3rd pic - somebody put the loop in the middle finger incorrectly

Does your glove lean to the right as well?

[Trilogy]

I'm assuming the logo plate goes in the front, the looped rod goes into the index finger, and the bent rod physically goes inside of the glove.

You assume correctly.
The gauntlet does have a tendency to lean a little.
