LOTR PF's

[LOTRFan]

Love the idea, except that Pippin should be singing for Denethor.

Really though, I hardly imagine that SS would produce them all being from the same sequence; assuming that we would only get one PF per character (could you imagine how long it will take to see doubles) they/we would want some more variety.

The Gandalf the Grey PF absolutely needs to be wearing his hat, which he didn't have during the Moria battle.

I wholeheartedly agree, though I am concerned how that will actually turn out.

Why? I'm sure they will put a wire in it to keep it's shape.

 

[LOTRFan]

Well primarily for the way it will sit on a fully sculpted head. Clothing is conceivably much easier to get right, because it doesn't have to sit on top, but covers the body.

I guess a close-up of Van Helsing o ), may relieve my concerns.

 

[The Josh]

I got ya. I'm not really worried about that. I'm sure SS can do something to make it work or they can go with like Weta did and go with a sculpted hat.

I think it would look a bit odd with a sculpted hat though, seeing as though he will have clothing.

Just announce him already ... then we can debate!

 

[The Josh]

It could but I agree just announce him already.

As someone coming in a bit late to this conversation, I was wondering if the LOTR PF line is for those who have already collected the Weta pieces or more of a new entry line to those who missed the Weta pieces.

I really didn't start collecting LOTR till a year or so ago, concentrated more on Comic Statues and Star Wars, so my polystone pieces are pretty slim pickings, I have the hobbit busts, a few misc busts and a smattering of the larger statues: Gandalf on Shadowfax, Eowyn, King of the Dead and The Morgul Lord.

I'm hoping they do the fellowship beacause its the iconic characters most recognized from the movie and books, I agree some of the others may look more exciting but to those who missed out on the Weta polystones, this is the line I'd prefer to collect (PF's). But I understand that people who already have a Aragorn, Gandalf, Legolas, etc... would prefer someone like Faramir who never had a polystone.

It's a line all to itself. This I don't believe is SS way of fixing anything that was missed during the SSW days.

 

[Darth Caedus]

Would Gandalf's hate be gray or blue? In the books it's blue, but in the movie it's a little grayish. The figures seem to be based on the movies, but I would like a nice blue hat.

 

[The Josh]

Well, they may have used a cloth with a little blue tent. PJ said he used different colors for the Fellowship cloaks depending on the lighting.

I had that feeling, some scenesit was grayish, while in some blueish. I would prefer a more obvious blue, like the SSW Hat, if there were to be a PF.

 

[Darklord Dave]

It's a completely different format than the SS/W pieces and I agree that we need all of the fellowship (except Merry, there's just something about Merry...)

I didn't "miss" the SS/W statues - I just wasn't interested. But PFs are extremely appealing to me. I don't expect or really want the depth of the Weta line though - I can't imagine a 1/4 scale Sauron as the 1/6 scale is huge enough.

That would be why. I thought that was interesting.

You're right we just plain and simple need them!! All of them including Merry.

 

[Beruthiel]

Well, depending on how Frodo turns out, that will determine whether or not I continue this line. It's just too expensive to spend money on when it isn't 100% IMO. If I'm not happy with him, he goes back and I'm done with the PF line. It's really that simple. I love Lurtz, but this one has got me worried and I don't have money to waste at this time in my life.

 

[The Josh]

I agree you should be 100% happy with your purchase. I think once Frodo gets here everyone will be just fine.
