Armoured Lurtz is the new 1/4 Premium Figure!!

[The Dwimmerlaik]

Yeah is sculpted i think that in male characters sculpetd hair looks better and in female doll hair rules.

 

[The Josh]

I'm guessing it's Dooley. And I don't think it's necessarily polystone hair. It could be a very matted hair-like substance.

Um..... Well, I have a pretty good gut feeling it's sculpted polystone hair.

Strike two!

As much as I appreciate the votes of confidence (and as much as I would have loved to work on this guy), this one was done by a VERY talented gentleman named Steve West. Most of you are already familiar with some of his work, although you may not realize it...

*ahem*

Damn!! Well, it looks like he did a hell of a good job. Andy can you say if you are going to get to do any of these PF LOTR figures???????

 

[LOTRFan]

Looks good, but if you get this one, then Boromir and Aragorn will be musts too .... as if they weren't already!

Wow, that's awesome that West is doing work for SS now! His Cave Troll is a very highly regarded piece. I think only about 50 were made before he was shut down. He also did the Balrog bust that you see now and then.

I mainly said Andy because I know how much he would want to do Lurtz. My guess is that we'll see an Aragorn, Gandalf, or Frodo from him at some point.

 

[Andy Bergholtz]

I like the way you think, Elwood!

 

[Darth Waller]

Is that a confirmation, Andy?

 

[The Josh]

I like the way you think, Elwood!

Being that I'm only 4 hours away Andy. You'll have to call me and let me drive to see what they look like in progress.

I took the various pictures of Lurtz from the images we've seen on Sideshow's site and put them together into this:

Nice puzzle you made thanks DW now i have an idea and im really tempted

 

[Agent Elrond]

Me wants it.

 

[tomandshell]

I'm still hoping for real hair, so that it will look like a Lurtz Barbie doll and I won't be tempted to buy it. Sculpted hair would look very classy and might end up costing me some money.

 

[Fritz]

Absofrickenlutely AWESOME!! I'm still giddy and the announcement happened four days ago.

Lurtz is the Man

Hi Everyone,

First, it may be a little late, but I wanted to wish everyone here happy holidays. Between my first child being born last month and the new website
going up, time has been real tight for me. LOL, I am learning to sleep less as well thanks to my son. It's amazing that they have to eat 67 times a day. LOL. When I got them email on this I was so happy. My favorite character has always been Lurtz and when I saw they were making him in premium format, I'm clearing room on my shelves. Very excited about this piece.

I wish everyone a Happy, Healthy and Safe New Year.

Thanks,
Mike

Welcome back, Dusty, and hope you had a great Christmas.

Thanks for the pre-order heads-up as well.

 

[The Josh]

Glad your back Dusty!! I cannot wait to see Lurtz and how awesome he looks

I will be ready to rock and roll on Friday.

 

[statuefreak]

Wow Dusty, u have seen lurtz and he rocks?!! ...now I am really getting more n more excited

guys, I have a question about setting the correct timezone and don't know if anyone can help? Since I live in Malaysia, do I set my computer's timezone to "(GMT-08:00) Pacific time" in order to meet the 10:00 to 10:30 PT preorder timeframe?

will surely hate myself if I miss this one
