You should get it JB!! You will really enjoy it.

 

[King Darkness]

Hey King -- the teeth on your Orc head look really cool. Did they come like that or did you "shave" a bit of paint off them?

No WG, thats the way they came.

 

[Khev]

The fact that the head sculpt still looks good even blown up that big is shocking. Wow!

 

[King Darkness]

Here a comparison shot.

Sorry for the flash, but its dark ourside and I have bad lighting in the house, but you get the idea.

 

[The Josh]

Very nice! I wasn't sure which shoulder to put the shield on but I figured it could go over either.

 

[naria]

Wow, awesome pictures! I'm all the more anxious for tomorrow when I should receive mine. Nice doily, jlcmsu

I have to admit the detailing on Boromir is simply amazing. I think he is probably the best out of the three in my opinion.

 

[FlyAndFight]

Boromir arrived yesterday and last night I took him out of the box and set him up. In my opinion, he's not only the best in the series so far, but probably the best SS 12" released yet.

I've got him presently set up on top of my display case, along with the other two LOTR figs and my host of SS Star Wars figures and he totally blows them away. All eyes are immediately drawn to him.

The detailing on the outfit is simply amazing. The gear such as the sword and belt, knife, shield and horn are beautifully captured in 1/6th scale.

The orc head is well sculpted and painted. Not sure if it's resin or poly, as it does have some heft to it.

My only gripe is with the Lothlorien cloak, particularly with the tight fitting clasp at the neck. Because of the collars on his outfit, the cloak is simply too narrow at the neck and I managed to break off the leaves of Lorien broach while trying to put it back on after ironing out the wrinkles. But to be honest, I think he looks better without it! (unlike Legolas.) I'll probably either redo the clasp or simply pass the cloak over to Aragorn. Not sure yet.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I would give up the Star Wars line in a heartbeat if I had to chose between the two. Only wish this line would move faster. Can't wait for Faramir and more announcements now!

 

[The Josh]

Yeah, this figure has made me look forward to Faramir even more. This line has hit its stride and I am so happy just wish they would come faster.

 

[mlarsen]

Mine just arrived. Pretty sure I agree with all the positive reviews. He looks great!

Well . . .I learn something new everyday! Q, that still doesn't justify the misspelling of the word "rivited"

 

[Sideshow Q]

I'll take the hit for "rivited." Good catch.

I got mine today and I am just stunned at how cool it is.... Some very minor weathering and a repaint (which it honestly doesn't need) and it will be fit for my shelf.

I couldn't be happier with it though, SSC is really starting to get this line going. It may come slower than SW, but I don't care as long as the quality stays like this. Very impressed.

 

[the angry orc]

just got mine...and right out of the box boromir is by far the best lotr figure i've gotten. he looks great. the outfit and factory paint apps are outstanding. the box was beat to hell and the belt buckle is seriously weak on mine and i had to be careful not to pull it off but those were/ are only gripes. only thing i would ask of ss is to do a moria orc next...ho-lee crap the orc head is awesome.

 

[hoodonit00]

Got mine as well today. Definately the best of the bunch. What sucks is when I got my Aragorn I was pretty happy with it. Then I got Legolas and Aragorn dropped a couple of notches. Now with Boromir looking so badass poor Aragorn is gonna need some work done to him so he can stand next to the other 2.

 

[Customikey]

Wow! I just received mine and it's just amazing! What detail! I'm really glad I stuck it out with this line!

 

[Wor-Gar]

After this long line of happy customers, I'd say Boromir is an official HOMERUN!!!

Way to go Sideshow!


Now top it

 

[abstractharmony]

I'm still hoping for a conversion...

I can't believe I cancelled this figure four months ago...


IDIOT!!!!!!
