InArt: The Lord of the Rings - Frodo and Sam

[HyperDrive]

I’m so stoked!!

My favorite characters in LOTR. If they’re only offered as a 2-pack, no problem for me. I was planning on getting the both of them anyway. With Gandalf and now Frodo and Sam, my LOTR display is almost complete, I’d only need Gollum/Sméagol.

I hope they also throw in their regular Shire cloaks as well, especially since one of the primary displays I want to do is Gandalf and Frodo like this picture:

But sure, most of the time I’d have Frodo and Sam together in their Elven cloaks.

I understand the idea that smaller = cheaper, but regardless of scale, they still require the same development costs for sculpting, bodies, cloth and tailoring, paint, etc. I don’t know that the materials costs for the plastic bodies is wildly different from 6 inches to 12 inches. The diorama bases seem to help add value and I like the designs quite a lot.

If Inart is limited to the Fellowship of the Ring license, I think that the line is headed in the right direction.

Frodo and Sam opens the door for Merry and Pippin, maybe Bilbo is a possibility. With Gimli hinted at, hopefully Boromir isn’t far behind.

I would like to see a few more characters, including Saruman, Elrond, Galadriel, Arwen, Lurtz, and Sauron. Anything after that would be gravy.

I’d bet a Frodo and Sam rooted 2-pack would be $800 minimum lol

Awesome news! Can't believe we are so close to getting Sam I will definitely get both of these whether it's a two pack or sold separately. Hopefully Gimli isn't too far away from being announced

Definitely looks like a double pack with the way it’s laid out.

Can’t have Frodo without Sam anyway.

So close but likely 6months to 1 year for reveal and another year/year and a half for production.

Good. My wallet needs recovery.

I was really hoping they'd approach these like the Potter kids, where each one has a massive backdrop that would ultimately make Bag End's door.

But the realist in me knew it was always going to be a two pack. Not mad about it though.

Oh no! Inart’s killing me..

Can’t have Frodo without Sam anyway.

I’m in for everything LOTR so, if a two pack helps with costs, I support it.
I expect them to offer a range of options though like individual standard, sculpted options and a premium rooted 2-pack.

The thing is Austin and Woods are not actually hobbits in real life, they’re bigger than they were made out to he in the LotR movies. I noticed it watching ‘green Street Hooligans’. So how do you scale them in 1/6 I wonder.
