Asmus - 1/6 Gollum/Smeagol

[Bucky Underbelly]

Which reminds me ... I need to contact them and set up my replacements. Grr.

Add another one to the list of hypothermic hobbit haters.

I thought the only parts that were fading were the flexible ones (arms and straight legs). Looking at my G/S set, it's the bendy vinyl-ish bits that are fading. The crouching legs are hard plastic and haven't faded at all. Maybe that's why?

The strange is that some had the body fading too, but mostly only arms and legs. It would be good to know what happened.
I'm wondering was there anyone who left it in the box and experienced fading?
Those who left it in box how often do you check the health of your Gollums? Jokes aside, I cannot do anything else but check them regularly... Hopefully it won't start fading two years from now.

I hope no one will report fading of the replacements...

i bought the deluxe pack, and only opened one.
The unopened figure faded just as fast as the opened one.
Asmus did make it right though.

Was cheking my Gollum. The body is fine, but I noticed that the tip of his nose is too plain (probably it was cut somewhere during production). I suppose it's only on my head, right?

Could it be some rubbing against the plastic clam shell packaging?

Hard to tell. I See no parts or any marks on the packaging.

Mine looks good... On yours first I thought it is nose rub, but recently regarding the Rogue figure I've read something interesting about a similar nose issue - they used hairdryer on the figure, which fixed the nose, without touching it. I'm not sure if it would help here or if it can damage this figure...
It is not that pointy nose, it's rather round.

Got my replacement bodies. Thank you Asmus!

I took some time to pose my Gollums too. Quite nice figures !

Hello! I bought Smeagol for my BD, added him new hair and a couple of strokes for his face.
He lives in my Zen Garden now. I hope, finally this character will be happy, love him so much!

He looks great! What did you use for the extra hair?

Thank you! I used black yarn for knitting. Only 100% acrylic like this will work because the fibers can be separated and straightened with a hair straightener.

Excellent pics Neko and Aoi Tori! The hair looks great too.

I’m still waiting for mine from my UK retailer…starting to wonder if I’ll ever get him…

Thank you so much! I hope, you will be lucky! I bought the last one in my country, there is only Gollum & Smeagol lux set in stock now. Smeagol alone is very rare now

Finally got around to getting this figure set at the 20% off sale at Popcutcha. I assume the figures have been in storage by the retailer for awhile, but they dont seem to have any discolouration issues like I just found out from this thread! Hopefully it stays this way, but will definitely be keeping an eye on the colour now!

Great pictures!

Here are my thoughts on the figure, noting I filmed this before I knew about the colour degradation issues that I found here!

Great pucs Khai.
Was also going to pull the trigger on this set while Pop have that discount but needing to pay InArt Aragorn off soon.
