Argh the post missed my family so it looks like I have to pick it up at the post office.

The wife and I just did a LOTR marathon yesterday.
The problem with Sam is his weight changes throughout the films. First shot of him he is skinny and he hasn't put on any weight yet. Next time you see him he is as fat in the face as you see him here. In fact he looks unwell.
Then the rest/majority of the films he is what most people remember. Slightly chubby, but not fat.
I think I might try and pick these up off eBay just because I want to own the full fellowship, but sadly they just don't look as good as I'd like considering they are the main characters.

The real removable ring looks brilliant. Great job there Asmus.
I think Frodo looks fine. Sam, not so much.
Thanks for the picture!

Here is a pic of the Fellowship so far:
While there may be some issues with the figures, I think they look great together and can't wait to add the rest of the Fellowship. Legolas looks awesome so far and hopefully Gimli and Boromir aren't far behind.

Hey I think the sculpts look good (average good), clothes and accessories are great too. I have them PO on Time Walker, I still dont know if I will be picking up Pippin and Merry. I want the fellowship, but sometimes I dont, lol.

Some side by side pix with the Sideshow versions would be interesting.

Nice pic and caption!
So I picked mine up from the post office. First impressions are that they are very fun figures. Overall the outfits seem great maybe a little on the delicate side but that makes sense with the size. I cannot get the rings off of the hands but I was being very cautious. Paint seems great to me and the hairy feet matches what they did for Merry and Pippin so if you liked it you are in luck and if you didn't oh well. As for the overall look in my opinion Frodo looks great, not perfect but great. Probably the best of the Asmus hobbits. Sam . . . still a fun figure and I think the outfit, accessories and paint are great but the likeness is the weakest of Asmus' Lord of the Rings figures in my opinion. He fits in with the books perfectly but there likeness to the film is off which is strange because Sideshow's Sam might have been their best likeness.
Overall I am super happy with them but I wouldn't hesitate to sign up for a better Sam sculpt.
