InArt: The Lord of the Rings - Frodo and Sam

18cm, think that's Mcfarlane 1/12 batman toys height.

18cm, think that's Mcfarlane 1/12 batman toys height.

Only if Batman is meant to be 216cm / 7’1” tall; otherwise, that’s not 1/12 scale. It’s 1/10.

1/12 figures are 15cm. Half the size of Hot Toys.

People should also remember that the hobbit scale in the movies wasn’t always uniform.

 

[Gipetto0812]

I’ve mathed the math.

Elijah Wood is about 5’6/7, 168cm.
Hobbits in the movies are shorter than in the book.
Book Frodo is listed at 4’1” but I’m putting movie Frodo at 3’6”, 106cm based on Pippin stating in TTT that Merry is 3’6”.

Merry is the tallest Hobbit but only by a human inch at real scale so, at Hobbit heights it’s negligible and I won’t hold InArt to capturing the minute variance between all four hobbits’ heights.
One custom body will suffice so make it 3’6”.

That’s a size reduction of 37%.

An accurately scaled 1/6 Elijah Wood figure would be 28cm so Frodo and the other hobbits should be a perfectly proportionate 17.5-18cms adults.

Essentially a standard 1/10 body makes for a perfectly scaled hobbit.

And yes, this is smaller than the Potter children.

I'd accept anything between 3.6 and 4 feet tall scaled in 1/6th.

But I'd wager we'll get the usual up-scaled Hobbits.

 

[HyperDrive]

In INART we trust.

 

[WolfBoy]

I wonder what expression they'll end up with.

[Life_m2000]

I’m really interested to see if they’ll do the feet similar to Asmus, as in one solid piece and no joints

 

[Stryker2011]

I realize he spent most of the movie either looking like he was about to cry, or staring lovingly at Sam, but jeez what I wouldn’t give for a neutral expression for Frodo.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I realize he spent most of the movie ... staring lovingly at Sam

The reason these epics are 3 hours each instead of a swift 2 hours.

 

[HyperDrive]

Gimme something like this

 

[Mr.Tanker]

These are both figures where InArt's messy rooted hair look is going to be perfect.

It's actually crazy that Frodo is by far the worst part of the every film he's in considering he's the main character. Without Sam there's times it would be appropriate to just skip some of the Frodo stuff. The only character who has even a single scene that drags.

LOTR as near perfect as you'll get for a trilogy of movies so that's not an angry criticism but I'll be damned if I'm not ranking Frodo at like 20 if I was to do a character ranking of all three films.
