You must really care about yourself......
I'm thinking the same thing as far as getting it for myself if my wish doesn't come through. I would flex it though.

May be quite some time before we get back to it then!but we can certainly revisit this conversation once SS starts cranking out the baddies.
And why not, you couldn't pick a better one to get IMHO.
Couldn't agree more Bullseye
He sure is a fantastic PF.
Anyone still sitting on the fence with this one, take my advice...go for it!
As Bullseye says 'You won't regret ordering this.'

Whether you "treat" yourself or receive one from others, I can think of alot worse Christmas presents......

Yeah, like I said perhaps "soon" isn't the best word I could have chosen.
Though I do suspect SS will be pushing these out a bit faster once they start adding some baddies/creatures to the mix. I'm certainly not saying it's easy to sculpt orcs, uruks etc... but it is certainly easier and less time consuming to sculpt characters like this than it is trying to accurately capture human likenesses. I think SS is well aware they have to get the likenesses right if this line is to be successful and I would be very surprised if we ever see them release a character featuring a so-so likeness. 5-10 years ago you could get away with that....not today.

Too true.

Very true woodsy, for me a good likeness is so important. Makes an okay piece a great piece and great pieces sell.5-10 years ago you could get away with that....not today.
Note to SS GREAT PIECES SELL.

A big factor in my getting this,
And the only factor in my not getting Galadriel.
Sorry Maglor, but I cannot agree with you here.......the Claire Danes as Galadriel likeness is excellent

The GTG PF has got me wanting to get the other PFs in the line-up as well. Up until now I only had the Moria Orc EX, and had the Berserker on pre-order (canceled at the last minute, which is a decision I still regret). Looking forward to Gollum/Smeagol EX, and will be on the hunt for the others as well. The PFs I'm least enthused about and will probably pass on altogether is Gandalf the White, Galadriel and the Morgul Lord.

I really want to like it, but there's something about it that's a little off-putting. Can't really put my finger on it.

I just checked out your youtube review. I agree that the wardrobe appears to be very well done and for that alone I think this PF is worth consideration. I just wish the face was more spot on. It just seems odd to have her on display with so-so likeness next to a PF like Gandalf the Grey that totally nails it.
Thank you for checking it out. 
yeah, the likeness is good but could be better and the lip stick but it does look nice. Yeah, being next to GTG could really emphasize some of these issues.
If I don't get GTG from SS I will flex him after the first of the year.
