So the likenesses falling short of say 90% is okay but the broaches are holding you back?

Agreed that that's a little picky, but 90% wrong is also a bit hyperbolic. If I had to put a percentage to it, I'd say they were about 70% there.

i don't think frodo likeness is so wrong... it seems prety accurate to me. and i don't think there's facial distortion in the sculpt too...
You misread my post. I said they fall short of 90%. I didn't say they were 90% wrong.

LOL! Exactly my thoughts! The first thing I notice on figures is the head sculpt, then the clothing, then the little details (like the broaches). Seems bizarre that sub-par headsculpts are OK, but broaches being vertical is not lol. Each to their own I guess. I would've preferred better likenesses in the head sculpts any day.

The broaches being wrong would drive me insane - honestly. I would end up removing them and reattaching them. Accessories are my favourite thing with figures.

These are the best pics I've seen of Frodo so far. When I get concerned with if I'm going to enjoy this set I'll look at these pics so Thank You for that.

The likenesses aren't so bad in my eyes. I think their recognizable and that's all I really need. The costuming details being accurate are the most important thing to me, with the Broaches being the most iconic part. I can understand if a factory messes up the mold, or they decide to use a different head sculpt to represent a character from a different movie (GtG for example, going from an amazing LotR head sculpt to a decent Hobbit Head sculpt), but having the broaches hang vertical is careless. I won't forgive carelessness.

Wow Frodo looks pretty great
Sam looks a little more like Bobby Moynihan from Saturday Night Live

Hey-o! Is there an interest list for this yet?
No, they're usually pretty buttoned up/ finished before putting a sales list up.

I saw Creg Customs facebook page and I noticed he is doing a Frodo sculpt,
maybe that where we can get the perfect sculpt. If not, I can live with this one.

Yeah I don't mind this one, I think it's ok. That said, if there's a more accurate one I'm in. He also suggested he's doing a Sam.

Makes sense. Thanks for the heads up.
Let the vigilance for solo Frodo parts begin...
What is his Facebook page?

Creg is on these boards. His delivery time is not for the faint at heart but his products are top shelf stuff.
