Galadriel needs to be properly sized too!

Looks like the show pics already show improvements to me.

Say what you will but this Legolas looks way better than DS which I own. I’m preordering all of these and Legolas is subject to licensor approval so it will only improve hopefully. The SH Figuarts is closer to the face shape of the statue and the FOTR movie stills.

If that’s the case they could have gone with a tour version of one of his iconic looks like the Dirty Diana variant of the Bad costume.

Finally opened Gandalf after having him since last year. I hope I did these figs more justice since I just discovered portrait mode on my iPhone camera. Nothing captures the quality in person in any pictures I try to take. I also used better lighting but I still wish I had a background to make...

Haha yes the lighting and iPhone camera are doing him no favors! That’s why I took the extra pics in other lighting. I just realized he looks like Andrew Lincoln from the Walking Dead.

Good point, he does look a bit long necked. I’m having trouble pushing it all the way down. Should it click in place? There seems to be a groove at the top to hold the neck peg. I’ll definitely play with the hair but overall I’m really happy the hair length is fine even with the curls.

This figure is hard to capture, looks so different in changed lighting. Here’s some more angles.

I finally got him! This was with no futzing whatsoever straight out of the box. I still haven’t opened Gandalf but I will soon!

Nice! Mine is 10 days in transit and should be delivered tomorrow or Friday. Fingers crossed!

That’s true, DS is a bit larger than 1/12. I guess we will know soon.

Good question I think Diamond Select has the rights. So it will likely be like Inart global license not states license.

They are 1:12 yes. They make SW, DBZ and many other themes.

This is great news! I’ve collected some of the Diamond Select line and it’s a mixed bag. Legolas looks really bad but their Sauron, Moria orcs, Gimli and hobbits were decent. Hopefully Sh Figuarts does a better job on the line.

I used to think Asmus HD Legolas was good enough but I honestly can’t believe that anymore. Seeing pics again it’s clear it’s just not the same quality as Inart. The clothing material looks much lower quality, the body proportions, the face sculpt. The details missing like the clasps on the...

Elrond was my first Asmus, he’s one of my favorites. The neck line is a bit rough but you can hang some hair over it to hide. The hands are a bit large and Hadhafang looks undersized because of it. Also I have some visible dried glue in the back around the waist. Even so I really love this...

Didn’t kit say that he had more Legolas preorders than Aragorn or Gandalf?

Exactly, Viggo doesn’t even look the same in ROTK with his hair combed back revealing his forehead compared to FOTR and TTT (or earlier scenes in Paths of the Dead). For this figure the rooted hair is a big variable in how his likeness appears. For FOTR he should not show that much forehead...

I will only buy this if Inart doesn’t make Thranduil. I have a dozen Asmus LOTR and they are all decent, some better or worse. Galadriel was undersized and production suffered. Prologue elves have strange color fabric that doesn’t match source material but I still love them. Hobbits are fine, I...

October 2nd? But I didn’t see this up at onesixthkit?
