Gentle Giant has released the next bust up for order in their The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey mini-bust line. Gollum comes in at $65 and won't ship until Spring of 2013.
Saw this at SDCC. Just didn't hit me somehow. Now that I see it again, gotta say, I absolutely detest it. Mebbe it's the lipstick thingee. Since I already have many bust-ish versions of Gollum to place in the display of Hobbit, this will be a definite pass for me.
Way too much color in the eyes and lips, hair is too think looking - like they used a larger sized brush to not have to worry about detail, hands and arms are dirty, while the body looks clean.
Its amazing that stuff like this gets approved for release. I mean maybe 15 years ago people would be all over this but with all that's about to come out.
