"Sculpting - **

But that's where big nit number one comes in - that hair. There's a lot of it, particularly across the forehead, and it's thick plastic. It sits quite far from the sides of the face and the forehead, making it look like a big cap. I know Asmus is capable of better hair, and we've seen them do some amazing stuff with rooted hair, like on Gimli. This thick, heavy hunk of plastic on his head does the likeness no favors.
Which brings me to my second nit - it's too big. Part of the bobblehead effect is the hair, but part is simply due to the head itself being too large. While some of the hobbits had pretty big noggins, they were never this far out of proportion with the body."
...just as I always said (down to the insinuation that Asmus should have done rooted hair on the hobbits).
You really have to beef up this guy to compensate for those gigantic face and hair.
Mr. Asmus: please do a new batch of Frodo and Sam, this time with proper head proportions, proper paint apps AND rooted hair!! You can do it and you'll never regret it!! We'll buy them all!! Frodo and Sam deserve it, after all they went through to get that ring undone!! We fans deserve it too!!
Then you can make replacement heads for Pipp and Merry, as well as young Bilbo!!
