but also
with a bit of
thrown in
The WETA stuff DOES look gorgeous for sure,but unfortunately for me,I just can't get used to those flat,plain,black bases...honestly I just don't find them attractive at all..in fact,I think they actually take away from the piece itself.You have a gorgeous piece of sculpture just dumped on there...not a fan at all. I like how the map is engraved on there,don't get me wrong...but I prefer a base that complements the pose the character is set in,that way it works like a snapshot of a moment from the movie.
I think WETA are an AWESOME company though,and I respect them to an insane degree...they are a very fan-friendly company and are working their arses off to give us ME fans some top-notch work
Still,the Azog looks positively stunning and as the black base looks to be covered up with a bit of environment,I'm gonna do all I can to get a hold of that one!!!
