Prefer a all in one pack but you never know. Might be separate releases

Congrats. Respect you took the time to think about what you were doing, and why.
Not like I every got just glassy-eyed and and leaped on a figure, that's why I ended up with 2 Artisan Black Widows on order and haven't even had the conversation with myself about letting one of them go.
Plus, once it's in hand, you'll have a pattern of sorts to make more of the reins etc., so you can get different horses and customize if u want.
Yeah, not like I need another Thorin, but I WANT that one. Plus picking up ASMUS' new Thranduil. And I've blown enough money on Aragorn including a horse and hair stuff AND picking up the Ranger cloak since InArt *&^$. But if they put out a stellar Thorin I'll say nice things about them. In 4 years when I get my figure.
I’d prefer separate releases. These are classic characters that stand on their own; I don’t think they need to be locked behind a 2-pack or 4-pack.
Edit: but I personally wouldn’t care if Frodo and Sam are a 2-pack, those are the two I want and that’d be it for me for LOTR representation. Bonus points if they included Sméagol/Gollum despite the Two Towers/ROTK design not being in FOTR.

I think the hobbits either need to be two two packs (Frodo/Sam, Merry/Pippin) or handled like the Potter kids, with the goal that their dio bases build Bag End.

Fully agree, in terms of package vs price this is a deluxe or bust scenario for me as well.
Looks damn good there and it has so much more presence than the Legolas next to him....
am I the only one here who prefers the deluxe Nazgul to Legolas?
This is a really solid take and breakdown on this set, I really appreciate it.
I still can't decide what to do.
It's really the price of the Nazgul itself. Almost $400 is just do damn high. The steed is about $300 on top, which is roughly what I was expecting.
So if I get him, I should go for the deluxe as I wanted - I feel it wouldn't make sense to only get the single.
But $720 (OSK, with sword) is just so much. I realized I've never spent that much on a single release. I've customized and upgraded figures where the sum of the parts was more in the end, but it was never in a single payment like that.
But as you said @davejames, the Nazgûl on steed will have so much presence. I love the look, and it would be a real eye catcher on my display.
But do I love the look and character that much to spend this amount of money on?
Yeah, I'm getting nowhere no far.
I'm right there with you mate, this is such a hard decision and I came to the exact same conclusions as yourself.

Fair enough. I just need the hobbits to go with the display, prefer to have all 4 at once. But two two packs sureley would be great for those who dont want all 4. These and Gimli are the ones i am hoping for are going to be next.

Watch them pack the Hobbits separately and charge $350+ per piece.

Looking at Harry Potter...350 is not enough
Yeah, just because they're short doesn't mean they'll be "cheap."
Yep. New bodies, new tooling, lots of R&D for the proper scaling etc.
Even though they’re small a lot of work will go into them. They’d be even smaller than Harry Potter no?
Oh yes. Smaller than Harry. They'd have to be perfectly proportional but at a different and smaller scale.
Maybe they could just make 1/9th or 1/10th scaled bodies (not sure what scale makes them correct)
I think the scale is all over the place even in the movies, so that is the question
But certainly, as a guide, Jackson has a scale sheet. It seems I've seen it.

I think I've decided not to get the Legolas - the price for him vs his complexity, materials and shelf-presence genuinely vex me.
It also doesn't help that out of the whole Fellowship Legolas is the only one I dont really rate, he's not bad by any means, just flat compared to everyone else.
I would only be getting him because I wanted the whole Fellowship or just because I think it would be weird to have Gimli [who I do like] and not Legolas.
Still haven't decided on the Nazgul - the standard is a non-starter in terms of value and impact... but the deluxe is still calling to me.

For rooted Hobbits, I’d wager they’d be $450 USD max if they’re standalone without a big a** resin diorama like Harry Potter (Premium). It just depends on the add-ons that are included.
You know they’re getting big ass Hobbiton dioramas to bump the price
