It does look like the West Balrog, but I can't judge it's size much from the photo. It looks way bigger than the West so I doubt if they are going to sell or produce it.

Cross country skiing is great if you live in a small country.

I own the Steve West Balrog painted by Rick Cantu. It is definitely not that one. West sculpted his off the maquette used in the film and I think his work is just a bit more detailed and well propotioned.

This piece is also a lot bigger.

Saw this in person, and people were getting their picture with it with their head in its mouth. It's definitly 1:1, the lack of body and wings definitly dwarfs him a bit though, but the scale's there.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

It was maybe 1:2 or a little smaller. I can't see it being 1:1 just because of how small it was. yes it was a big huge head, but the belrog is this massive beast. In the movie half of Gandalfs body could have fit in his mouth, not just his head. Get a picture of the belrog and gandalf falling and you can see what I mean.

Judging by the pics I`ve seen, it definitely looked far smaller than 1:1.
