I prefer the head sculpt on the inart aragorn, they’ve captured the cleft better.

 

[DioramaMaker]

Frodo looks like he's about to head back to Neverland after a long tour.

 

[Kalkylen]

Mostly terrible apart from The War of the Rohirrim figures which look great. My wallet breathes a sigh of relief.

 

[spaceghost2000]

I think they look great. Far better than toybiz and considerably better than Diamond Select.

 

[ObiGlennKenobi]

These look terrible.
I can't even look at Gollum without laughing at him.
Frodo looks very feminine in the sculpt.

No way are these better than Toybiz.

Don't remember Aragorn wearing a miniskirt either these would be fine for £25 like but they not much better than the recent Diamond Select offerings which are around that price.

The cloaks are absolutely horrible too.

 

[JorjeCroft]

They don’t look good imo, but animated ones are cool!

 

[Ramman81]

Sculpts look soft.....

No way, you prefer to the one that's like 5-6x the price?

No no you’re right, Toybiz really captured….

The DS figures are really bad, I bought them and they’re some of the very few I simply regret getting. Doubt I could give them away.

Yeah I didn't bother picking any of those up either. My kingdom for some half decent 1/12th LOTR figures! Say what you want about Hasbro but a lot of their most recent Black Series figures are great for the price point! If someone gave LOTR the same treatment and went all in on the line I'd be in big trouble.

 

[superdoug]

I guess I am in the minority but I don’t think DST LOTR figures are that bad. I actually think some of them turned out really well and are upgrades from the old ToyBiz figures.

I will say Gimli looks good, but I stopped after wave 4? Boromir/Lurtz onwards the line may have improved.
