I want to display this piece with the pre-Orthanc staff, so I'll just wait and order through an AD. It looks great.

awesome:buttrock: ..wish it were a little bigger though.
Boy, I hate to be a negative nelly, but it seems that the likeness is off.
I can't put my finger on it, but it appears like the face is too long, or
some proportion is off that just throws it out of whack for me.
I honestly think that the WETA and GG busts had better GtG likenesses. :redface:
(from what I can see in the pictures thus far that is)
JS
I think the likeness is good. The hat seems to sit a bit unnaturally though. It kind of looks like its floating in mid-air an inch above his head.
-the hat seems kinda high
-likeness is a little off due to the eye they a little to squinty
-hands are kinda dainty IMO
-his angryness is out of character especially for this humble pose
But I still love this peice, likeness isnt that far off.
Im on the fence for this one. I wanna pre-order it but not if there's a GtG PF coming out. I would rather save my loot for that, so I guess I'm gonna have to wait it out:(

First impression is the likeness is off.
Still order though. No doubt it will look far better than the pics.

I think the likeness is great but he does look a little pissed, maybe he ran out of weed?

Looks kinda small and why didn't they use the same bast as the other LOTR LSB?

Nice... but... please Sideshow try to put the hat down a bit! :(

Only Sauron and the Morgul lord share the same base.
Yes I thought he looked a little on the small side. Would have prefered him to be larger.

The only thing thats putting me off is the hat,looks a bit on the high side.I wonder will SS change that?
he might appear small, but aren't LS 1/2 scale? if he is 16" high including hat, its probably about right. The Cave Troll, Sauron and Mogul Lord are a lot bigger than Gandalf, so he'll probably fit right in.
Ordered!!!

This was a no-brainer just from a collectibility stand-point & value. Here's hoping to a short edition run, perhaps like some of the marvel stuff...?

I believe the Sauron, ML and this one are 1/2 scale. The cave troll would have been too large to do in this scale. Ordered as well, love the bust, please SS just lower the hat a bit.
I dunno, i don't have the sauron (wait list converted but didn't have the funds :bawling: ), so i can't really comment.... I know Sauron in reality is pretty huge... about 7'9 or something silly and if i remember rightly taller in the book.
We'll have to get Ed to give us a comparison shot of all 3 :buttrock:
