Statue Legolas Maquette

[Radagaster]

Has someone repainted their Legolas' face to see if they can get that skin tone to look more elf-like?

My second LOTR Maquette! EX Legolas #160/350

Sweeeeeeet!...lovely shots NorthernLadMSP...thanks for sharing.

Sure is a wonderful piece and well worth having.

2 Maquettes just isn't enough though.

Wow...have not commented much in the past months...but this Legolas paint issue is pretty darn weird...at no point in the movies was he TAN? Since when are elves TAN? Someone in QC seriously dropped the ball...

Do they have tanning salons in Middle-earth?

 

[NorthernLadMSP]

I agree. That is the one thing that pisses me off about an otherwise perfect piece. He's awesome though, and I agree, two is just not enough

I have been watching SS's website for their second batch of regular Aragorns, but it's been pushed back to February now.

I can't find an EX anywhere (that is at a decent price).

This doesnt bother me at all, as long as the paint quality itself is good (which is per the photos). But sideshow does tend to have a problem with skin color, i posted elsewhere the gollum pf replacement bodies i received looked like they just came back from hawaii without sunblock, almost orange.

Legolas by himself, I barely noticed and did not care about his tan. Now that he's next to Aragorn and Gimli... it's pretty obvious and annoying. Oh well...

A little late to this party...but better late than never.

Some pics for you guys to enjoy.

Another great piece...what a fantastic line this is.

Thanks Rena Gilthoniel

Yep, I just could not leave the quiver unpainted.

I think it turned out okay.


Love this line.

Love this line.

Yeah it looks really great I wish I would have the skill to repaint it too...but I don't really know how...

And I agree I LOVE this line... Just waiting for my Gimli and Arwen - I should get them in a few weeks!

Shameless, I know, but it had to be done...

Put my Legolas exclusive up for sale in the FS thread.

What's up fury....how come you are pulling out of this fantastic line?

Looks like you are selling all you pieces...that is a real shame.

lol why are you still ordering new statues if you are selling everything to move.

Just made the decision recently, and I'm not going to cancel preordered statues that have NRDs and cancellation fees on top of that, especially when I can possibly flip them for even more than the cost, ala Vampirella exclusive.

Wish I could keep this line however, the LOTR maquettes have been truly wondrous and I was even on the verge of ordering an Arwen with the Valentines discount or whatever it was they had going...

 

[The Josh]

Why not sell other items and keep the LOTR stuff? Make it the one line you collect.

well i can do $1150 shipped for the lot if you cant find a buyer that will pay more. I dont mind having a backup set for this series since they look so awesome.

I'm going to try to eliminate everything. I know I'll keep the Grendel bronze, but the rest is very moveable and easy to jettison. Like I said, I love the line, but I just can't see myself moving a large amount of "stuff" overseas, especially so far...

At first I was like, whoa, awesome offer, and it is. But I do have a few pending offers to work through on the four currently, and with your offer I would only just be breaking even really...

Is anyone else looking to sell their exclusive legolas statue? If so sent me a message.

Thanks
