Statue Frodo and Sam Statue

[Mamba]

This piece is fantastic without a doubt, but I was blinded by the scale. Sadly, I am not into this line anymore

Josh, it was nice to meet you at the Con.

what happened to shades of mordor ex? i almost picked one up but lost the bid

Don't get me wrong, it's a great statue. I love mine.

But the proto Frodo Sideshow showed was WAY better than the production piece.

I was going to post some comparison pics from the original thread (https://www.sideshowcollectors.com/forums/showthread.php?t=53713&highlight=Shades+of+Mordor), but I don't have the time to look.

Suffice it to say, if I remember correctly, some said the paint apps on the final production piece made Frodo look like Sloth from the Goonies.

Too small of course...when I saw them next to DROM PF, I was like whoaaaa what a size difference, of course my attention was mostly drew to the DROM PF.

I have limited space in my collection with everything that I want I won't be able to fit them all. Like I told Josh DC and Marvel are my main focus.

I have these 4 big statues that I have ordered or will order for sure: DROM PF, Hulk Maquette, Galactus Maquette, Rhino Comiquette, all of them won't fit in a besta shelve, I have to put them on top of my bestas, which is the place where I put all my LOTR maquettes.

Initially I thought I would complete the fellowship (7 statues) and put all of them together on top of my bestas, but I can't do that with all the preorders I have.

So yes, I was blinded by the size, they are nice statues, but I just prefer to see bigger statues

Don't worry I won't

 

[The Josh]

Thank ya!

I've seen the shades of mordor frodo at a friends and IMO he looked really good.

 

[Boromir]

Still strange Sideshow didn't say anything about this statue anywhere, or did I miss something?

you know you want to get a pax 4x shelves of 22" deep, plenty space for everything. okie so it was too small for you.

what's a drom?

ah thanks i know i would hate it if that's the case, ebay sniping worked in my favor for once...

They had it at the show so that's them saying something and I'm sure a preview is coming. Just like they did with the hulk.

How cool would it be if the exclusive was both helms for these two with Frodo lifting his halfway off?

I really don't like that idea. Sorry, but I haven't waited this long for SS to make a hobbit maquette and have the exclusive cover up the one thing that seperates them from orcs. .

nah dont want helm, noone (well i personally) wont display them with helm on, so it will just be wasted exclusive.

hulk and this are the only 2 pieces i am really looking forward to now. With hulk ending next tues, this is it. Preorder please! money...take it!

 

[The Josh]

The switch out helms would be cool exclusives but I don't know how often I'd display them. Those sculpts are so freaking amazing I'd hate to not show off Trevor's work.

 

[Drakul]

I agree but then what would make a nice EX?

nah they have always been good with the exclusive for this line, so far only the boromir ex got botched due to a last minute screwup. So i am pretty sure it will be good.

switchout arm with different weapon, switchout head with different expression, and i dont mind a switchout arm holding the orc helm.
