I'm sure I've posted these somewhere, but here they are again, along with a shot of where the bust is currently (on top of my Detolfs). It's really an excellent piece.

Only one I could find of mine at the moment.
'Legendary scale' is right!
Hmm, Treebeard vs balrog....

I always thought this would make a great base for the 1/6th gandalf, dirty him up a bit and you have quite an action packed dio

#157 showed up on my doorstep today thanks to the wbshop sale. Incredibly fast shipping, considering it was free! Outer shipping box was thrashed, but the Balrog's box inside still looked great thanks to the foam spacers protecting it.
This bust is amazing in person, far better than I'd ever thought from the site pictures. It has so much presence and quite a bit more depth than might be apparent. Paint looks great and the flame effect works fine, considering it's not lit from within. It's my fourth LSB but first from the larger ones (Morgul Lord, Cavey, Sauron, Balrog). Gotta track down those other three now.

Congrats, that was a great deal, and yes the other three "biggies" are must haves.......three of the best LOTR busts ever made.

mine lights up
hey! i know that some of these busts really do light up, but this is the first time i've actually seen how the light-up feature looks like! you got an awesome piece there sir. congrats!
question, how'd you know if your balrog lsb lights up or not? does it have a switch or something? also, up front, do the eyes and the mouth also light up? i might have had mine for about a year now and not even know that mine also lights up like that...wishful thinking but hey, who knows?

He's just pulling your leg. He modified his to light up.

Hate to bump an old thread, but figured keep info on a particular piece in the same spot as much as possible.
I just picked this beast of a bust up.
He seems a tab bit dusty.
What would be a good way to go about cleaning up and really make the flames "pop" again?

Wow, that is strange. I just got one of these last week also and it is dusty as well. I have not had a chance to clean mine either. Thinking hard about adding a light up feature like shown above.

Try some compressed air, or possibly a soft cloth with a very small amount of water if the dust is really stubborn.
