Frodo

[Karaduin]

Frodo looks superb to me. Scale, likeness and paint all looking good! Can rest easy now and all I need to do is wait for Frodo and Sam to make their way east... to the UK.

Thats Farther than Mt. Doom!

you cant rest easy yet. what if sam looks like ass. he could have a huge discolored spot on the back of his head or be crosseyed or have 2 different color eyes.

anyone have pics comparing height to the ToyBiz Gimli?

I'll be able to post some pics on Friday, when Frodo and Sam arrive.

But based on the pic we saw of Frodo and the other taller LOTR figures, the Toybiz Gimli is roughly the same size.

 

[galactiboy]

Good point about an eventual Gimli... just get his height in between the hobbits and the human characters and we'll be in good shape.

 

[wookster]

The outfit looks pretty good, but those legs and feet just scream at me, it looks like hairy monster slipers on skinny white legs!

 

[pixletwin]

It doesn't look like that in person. I know what you mean though.

 

[ProgMatinee]

Easy touch up that even us amateurs can do.

I just got them, legs aren't as bad as in the pictures, Frodo looks a little pale though, I'm sure with some weathering he could easily be a Mount Doom version!

Figure of the year ?

Sideshow, quite possibly, overally, nah, I think Hot Toys Joker's got a bit of an edge over these guys.

I'm at work, so no camera, sorry...

Figure of the year ?

Sideshow's maybe, but with the upcoming HT Joker, well...
BOTH look awesome!! I'll tell you that, but because of the complexity of Sam's outfit and accessories, I think it's a better figure overall.

Hahaha, seems like we thought the same thing!

Well I don't have my hobbits yet, but even from the pictures, as nice as they look, I just don't get the WOW factor from them, but that Joker dropped my jaw on first sight. Might change my mind Friday, we'll see. Scoring wise form pictures though, I'd give hobbits a 9 vote and Joker a 10 so I think they're competitive, just a slight edge. And, depending on how he turns out, I think Indiana Jones could be SSC's best in 2008.

Figure of the year ?

By the looks of Snake Eyes....absolutely not.

 

[The Craw]

gotta go to work now. if a sam image thread starts try not to let it get too long.

 

[Shai]

By the looks of Snake Eyes....absolutely not.

Ya, that seems to be another step forward figure from them, and how could I forget Clone Wars Obi-Wan too. I'd say the Hobbits are Sideshow's best of the old style figures, the new body makes them a stepping stone from old to new, but Indy, Obi-Wan and Snake Eyes look to be the glimpses of the future.

Well apparently my order is just sitting down in shipping. The card was pre-authed last Friday so it's a hold up at my credit union I'm guessing. I'll have to try and iron this out tomorrow with them *sigh* No way I see them before PR now, ah well at least I have them to come back to.
