Just got Sam... Both of the shins on mine are split so I thinking that since I can push them together I will super glue the suckers. 
Got em'. Right out of the box, Frodo's portrait looks great, something about the way they painted his eyes makes them look just right from some views and so-so from others, but overall looks nice and that's what counts, we just ignore the other angles hehe. Clothes seem really nice and accessories, more thoughts when I get a chance to really check him out from home. Sam's portrait turned out great. As I suspected, the doll dot really hurts his eyes viewing them from his left side, really hides the color and such but from his right, fantastic. Of the two, I think Sam's portrait is stronger, consistently conveys him from any angle where Frodo's in and out depending on angle. Both very nicely made figures and I'm really glad I reordered them so quickly.
Mine should show up sometime today.....torture waiting for these!!
I'll tell you this though... with these two hobbits finally my LOTR collection seems to be starting to make sense.

Now I'm anxious to see more of the little figures. Frodo and Sam have turned out so well that I have a lot of confidence in the potential Merry and Pippen will have to be amazing figures Their portraits have always appeared to be much to easier to sculpt and design, as they have such expressive and distinctive faces.
I will say, people LOVE to see Hobbits on the shelves. I had a bunch of friends over last night and it seems everybody loved them. They're just so different and well-made that they seem to light up the whole shelf. I really hope these two guys start energizing the line; if Gandalf is this good as well, I think the line will start to chug along with a much healthier rate of new characters. Fortunately it seems Sideshow is being really careful to make sure these figures come out right, whereas there have been a number of atrocities committed against the line. The fact that Faramir is now synonymous with terrible paint is a crime for which I will make you pay all the days of my life, Sideshow!

Frodo & Samwise both showed up less than an hour ago and they're great.
My twin brother is so happy I got them for his birthday.
Maybe now we can look for a Legolas figure when we're on vacation in ME & NH in 8 days.

I used a Hot Toys wire with the SS base, they are smaller and work perfectly with the Hobbits.
BTW, awesome pics!
UPS just came
Missed that post.
Figures are great but I will have to get a replacement belt for Sam. Mine was broke out of the box.
