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.

Everything just needs to be properly proportioned with the shorter height. Big problem with all the hobbits that Asmus have done is that they overblow the sizes for the feet, hand and head. You're essentially making a Harry Potter figure. The height will be a little tough since it changes around so much.

I took the liberty of watching FOTR extended edition today and man having the
whole gang in the next coming years gets me so excited! I might go crazy and actually get a moducase for the fellowship.

I wonder what expression they'll end up with.
