Ian Holm - Bilbo Baggins

[Sassafras]

If the Bag End diorama ends up going into production, I'm betting it will run at least $400 (not including the figure). Looks to be pretty big and will require a lot of detailed casting and paint work. I really, really hope it will be less, but polystone prices have probably tripled in the last decade or so ...

For me I'd go for it. Bag End is too iconic and too useful as a diorama piece to not leap at the chance to get a 1/6 version. Far as I know only custom 1/6 pieces are out there. I shudder to think how much work it would be to really try for a great custom. Research, measuring, measuring, getting tools I don't have, even trying to match the door hardware.

Nope, best if ASMUS gives it a try.

I hope their Bag End will be made of plastic, like the diorama piece that came with Crown GtG. That would definitely lower the price. Hopefully it fits together better than the gate/mailbox from the Crown GtG, though...

There’s a lot of work in a diorama. I still haven’t finished mine (due to illness for the last year). Still loads of stuff to do on it. Maybe in the new year I can get back to it but for now I have Bilbo and Gandalf on display.

That is beautiful - excellent job! If I tried, I'd want perfection. As you say, it is a multi-year project - least it would be for me.

The Door to Haberdashery is some kind of poly or resin - but ASMUS knew their stuff, the back portion fits into the floor so it's sturdy but not too weighty. Doesn't have that cheap look some plastics have. Luv the old Sideshow poly environments I've picked up, but they weigh a lot.

Wow, that looks fantastic - excellent work!

Awesome job!

Also where did you get the walking stick? I’d love to get one for Bilbo. . . and Frodo and Sam. No way I have the skills and time to try to copy your diorama though.

 

[Waiden]

Yes! Love it, I think the head sculpt is very decent and I had to pre-order already

As I was thinking, no diorama for Bilbo. I don't mind it but I guess some of you will be sad.

 

[George13]

I don’t like the head sculpt

The walking stick is the Hot Toys Chirrut Imwe staff with the metal section removed and rejoined.

I preordered but I had to reregister my account in the new site.
Did that happen to anyone else?

Yes, and I can’t access my old preorders

Asmus told me my previous orders are fine.

Asmus told that there’s another website to check my previous order

I don't see the link for the exclusive, just the regular

I’ve pre ordered Ian holm bilbo this morning.

I personally love the expression, he was going through some stuff in lord of the rings. I’m happy with what I see.
also grabbed Frodo while he was back in stock.

I think it refers to buying direct from their website.

 

[BagginsOfBagEnd]

Shame no diorama, at least I don’t have to find space for it! would have liked to have seen the barrel he does his speech on as part of base, but I think it looks a great release, good to see this one has the walking stick too!

 

[FlyAndFight]

The barrel would have definitely been a cool display base option.

 

[Entropy]

I love the outfit but don’t understand the scary head. Why? Who wants to display him like that? I agree with those that said an alternate smiling head would have been a much better choice.

Pre-ordered Bilbo. My first Lord of the Rings figure. Partially got it for me, but also partially for my girlfriend. Looking forward to getting it in hand.
