It seems like posting this picture got people moving in a hundred different directions! While Robodad did a fantastic job of scaling Lurtz to the Frodo, I think the original photo as it appeared in Lee's were not of two items next to each other, but two seperate photos, as they were not scaled to reference one another. While a have a few minor gripes with the new format of Frodo, if this albeit crummy picture even remotely resembles the finished product, I will be ecstatic.
I like that Frodo is depicted in a dangerous situation, somewhat fearful but sword in hand. I think that nicely captures his journey throughout the films as well. Let Sam or Pippin capture the more sedate hobbity lifestyle in their Premium Format figure, as I think they are more representative of the Shire as characters anyway. Frodo, being a Baggins, is drawn to excitement and adventure, just like his uncle Bilbo!
I do think that this piece, like Lurtz and Aragorn, could use a little more weathering on the costume, but I like that Frodo has his green travel cloak, and his backpack as well. Frodo's foot fur is a little too neatly trimmed for my taste as well, but overall I am really in love with this version. In my opinion, this captures Frodo and Elijah Wood's likeness much better than the Weta statue.
