Just got this in. :buttrock: #420/1500
I'm not great at taking pics but, here are a few.
First off, the pis don't do it any justice. The sculpt is fricken amazing. Perfect likenesses!! I am SO glad I got on the wait list for this one.

Frodo's fingers looks weird. Is Gollum supposed to be that yellow?

Congrats on the piece!

I think the yellowing of Gollum is to depict the glow from the lava below him.

You are the nicest, most friendly member of this forum. You always have something so positive to say. COngrats. :thumbs2:

We'll see what happens the next time you post some pics...:eplus2:

Actually, I think they used too much yellow for the reflection. That's the only thing that I have a problem with.
It still doesn't take away from the unbelievably accurate sculpts though.

Looks great. But, it's still way too small for me. I'd be all over it if it was 1/6 or 1/4 scale.

Frodo (like the aragorn dio) doesn't have any expression in his face. He is supposed to be fighting to get the ring from gollum! Where's the struggle in his face?!

For the price, its not bad... hopefully my waitlist will convert

Dude, I'm not criticizing the member who bought this statue. I'm criticizing the statue it self. Just giving my hones opinions and thoughts. :)

got mine yesterday, I love this little dioramas vs line:thumbs2: , only thing I complain about is why the The Walls of Helm's Deep - Aragorn VS Uruk-Hai is way too much money:(

My comment was more directed at the fact that the member might not appreciate you nagging or ragging on the particular piece that he/she just bought. It's really quite a rude thing to do. IF someone spends money on something and they are proud of it, then why do you feel the need to belittle their purchase?

YOu should make those kind of comments in the product thread not someone's personal "look what I got, I am so happy" thread. You are entitled to your own opinion, hell I find it funny sometimes but there is a proper place for it. :thumbs2: Now, let's go make fun of those ** kids. :laugh:

I agree... £300 is a bit pricey for something so small and not THAT great (don't like aragorns expression, though its the best likeness so far)

Well, people always make new thread when posting pics and that's where I comment the piece. If the pics were posted in the "product" thread, then I'd post the same comment there.

Not trying to be rude or hurt the buyers feelings. Just saying what I think about the piece. In the end there'll be tons of feedback here about this piece, both negative and positive.

Remember how much negative talk there was after each member was posting a Boba Fett PF picture. I'm more than 100% sure that when people post their feedback, they never intend to hurt the owner. :thumbs2:

I just think people should be at least a little aware of the feelings of others when posting a comment about a product....unless the people in question collect **** **** statues. :laugh:

I might skip the The Walls of Helm's Deep - Aragorn VS Uruk-Hai, and looking foward for the third piece of LOTR VS line.:buttrock:

Looks good but I'm still glad I canceled my order. Might pick it up later if the price is right though.

It's cool guys.
I like reading everyones opinions. Good or bad, it doesn't change my mind. It may bring some negatives to my attention but, normally if it didn't bother me when I first saw it. It won't bother me now.
Besides, who wants to see 10 pages of "Congrats" and "Nice statue". Even though, it's welcome.:thumbs2:

What's broken? It sorta looks like part of his finger stump in missing or something. His finger was bitten off though. :peoples:
