Dragon Toy - The Dark Ruler 1/6 Scale

[JackRusselTs]

XL-shop apparently has some stock available but damn are they slow. They said they will email a shipping quote in 3 days. We on day 4 now

No it's full on metal. Adds an unnecessary amount of weight towards the front of the figure. Smells bad as well. Will post when I swap it out.

can you send the ebay link for the chain mail you getting

Received mine. It's a wonderfully made figure... but I don't really care for the scale of it. The movie went to far with Sauron's size, in my opinion. I have a 3d print figure that's about a head taller than a nazgul. Might stick with that.

Here is my Inart Gandalf and Dragon Toy Sauron set up in my "new arrivals" cabinet.
Decided to display them with some of the new deluxe editions of the LOTR and the Silmarillion and a few other Tolkien books, I thought it added some colour and balance to the shelf.

Sauron arrived today so it was in transit for 15 days from GunDamit. I kept checking the 3 tracking options and either the number wasn't in the system or there was no information available. I've experienced that before with other tracking from China. The main thing is it arrived!
As all other recipients have stated...He Is HUGE!!
For the time being he will stand on top of my LOTR Detolf leaning slightly back so if gravity wins he'll rest against my Rohan Sword Rack. I will try to find a stand with a crotch grabber. If anyone has a suggested one and source, I'd appreciate it! Ultimately I do want a rock terrain base and can hopefully install an upright support onto it.

I can't believe GD could sell this and ship for 240! WOW!! Definitely worth the price.

Friends, could you confirm to me if holding him horizontally his trunk tilts back by itself, due to the weight? My one has arrived, there’s this movement when I put it horizontally. I just wanted to confirm. Thank you.

It's hard to tell on mine. It seems to depend on where you balance it: It is quite heavy overall. It could be mine may be tighter and doesn't just shift under its own weight.

 

[lordnastrond]

Same here, mine doesn't really move under his own power/weight - the only thing that does is his hand/wrist when he is holding the pretty heavy mace.
Arms, legs and body are pretty strong and stiff so i have no worries of it flopping about.

Friend, I say this top of the trunk, only her. When I raise the horizontally secure figure of the only on the waist, does this top tip down? Horizontally, as if I had been lying down but above the ground. With the force of gravity, does this part dispove slightly backwards?

Nope.
Mine doesnt do that at all - feels really strong and secure

But do I mean lying, horizontally, above any flat surface? Doesn't the top shift a little horizontally?

Im not sure I entirely follow, but all I can say is Ive had my Sauron stood the entire time Ive owned him so Im not sure if I can be of any help.

Please, just check this video and confirm if lying down the top of his trunk looks like this. Thank you very much!

To be honest, im not sure - its probably just the weight + the angle, I haven't had my own Sauron in that position and it would be a hassle to take him out of the set up he is currently in to double-check.
I can say I dont see it being an issue if you keep him vertical as his weight will be centered naturally then.

If anyone can take this test with Sauron, I would really appreciate it!

dam, I had mine shipped earlier this month by them but somehow China post rejected it and sent it back. Waiting for it to be reshipped...

Mines been delayed. The country is shut down for the Chinese new year. Probably won’t see it till march. Which is fine I guess. I’ve been looking at some dioramas and background stuff in the meantime

Mine arrived today. Holy cow this thing is massive. I just wish it came with a stand since it doesn’t want to stay up.
