I got one of those as well. Best deal on him I've seen. Seller only had 2 though.

Congrats guys. Bilbo really is a fun custom.

I got my second Frodo body and Toybiz Bilbo today. I'm ready to get to work. TheNam was right though. He does have a rather sweaty pedophile look about him and will need a good repaint.

My extra Sam is on it's way from SS. I need another ex Frodo though. Can't seem to find a relatively cheap one though.

I also won a pattern on eBay for clothing to see if it comes in handy for anything.

I snatched up an Exclusive Frodo for $50 shipped. pixletwin passed on it and I was there to recover the fumble (Thanks, pix!). Unfortunately, I think we're witnessing the last of the great deals on these hobbit bodies. Especially once we go public with Merry and Pippin, all bets are off.

Wait - does the Frodo need to be the exclusive version?

A plan is to give Merry Frodo's Weathertop sword and Pippin a duplicate of Sam's sword.

and the extra sting and scabbard to Blbo.

Would this be the only reason to get an ex Frodo?

 

[pixletwin]

Was for me.

Ween, you might not have to score an exclusive Frodo. I have an extra Sam sword and scabbard I picked up from Toy Anxiety that I may not need now. Let me know.

I also posted this in the main forum. I let him borrow Gandalf's walking staff until I can find one he can call his own.

The walking stick is a definite must have for Bilbo. If anyone has any suggestions for one, lets hear them.

I was actually thinking about finding a good twig or stick and carving my own, and then stain the wood to match Gandalf's staff.

Don't know of one to grab from another figure. It'd be easy to sculpt or I suppose you can cast Gandalf's and just cut it down to size, though casting thin bits like that can be a pain.

Well crap, after seeing those last photos by BF I ordered me a toybiz Bilbo.

Now I have to find another Frodo

Thanks Blu! I'm trying to figure out what all I'll need for these projects. Gimli, Bilbo, Merry and Pippin. If I get another Frodo, I think I'll still need another hobbit body (for Bilbo) and another cloak (for Gimli).

Still haven't gotten a roto Gimli.

I told you dude. Now is the time to get your hobbits. You don't wanna pick up your TB Bilbo when he is $35 or more. You made the right decision.
