So this is 100% DiD?

Was doing some browsing and found a TB Gimli at Big Bad:

Definitely looks like DiD is best for scale... wonder how the Toybiz sculpt would look on him?

Does anyone know?

Hey galacticboy, go here and check half way down for the post by "All Mighty One"...I think it looks pretty good!

Yep,
that's it, I just got my DiD in the mail, it's actually pretty nice,
I'm going to customize it with my ToyBiz as well...
I'm not sure how exactly!
I do have Timeline's chainmail, and DiD Frodo's cloak for him, so this should be interesting...

By the way, I have now an extra set of DiD Gimli's Axes if anybody's interested, PM for details!

Thanks kuzeh. I just had a buddy of mine by it for me for Xmas and I wanted to make sure this was the bigger one before he pulled the trigger.

This is the Toybiz head on the DiD body. Size wise it's perfect.

Looks good.

I need to pick up a loose DiD body/headsculpt now, to compare. I was able to pick up everything else loose in one auction, a month or two ago.

Man I really need to track down both of these figures

 

[icruise]

Some of those other Toybiz figures are pretty terrible, I must say.

My eyes!

Sorry I couldn't answer this for you, pix... I have to sleep sometimes! But yeah, it's all DiD. People seem to like the ToyBiz sculpt better for some reason, but to me this one actually looks a lot more like John Rhys-Davies. The beard is also larger and more screen-accurate, imo. With a good repaint and a few accurized parts, this will be my "ultimate" Gimli.

Can't wait to get both of mines in mail.

Received my DID Gimli today and love the weapons. Have all the chain maile ready and will be putting the TS sculpt on the DiD body. I want to paint him up tomorrow but we'll see.
I want to keep the boots and hands from the TB as I think they look better.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Jason, what chainmail are you using? Got a pic? I need to find this still.

 

[dwing]

I am using the Timeline maile. I also have the olof the viking but he's staying in place for now. I keep looking for you guys that do not have it.

Thanks Mudshark. I'm with you. Everything I have seen of the DiD Gimli suggest its better to me. How are the weapons?

Cool, thanks. How is Olaf's chainmail? Rubber or fabric? I had my eye on him.

The TB Gimli was the best figure they did in the whole line. I do think the likeness is much better than DiD too - I'm pretty sure DiD didn't even try for likenesses. I really wish I could find mine - I have at least 2 TB Gimlis and 1 Did - somewhere.
