PF Frodo Image Thread

[The Josh]

I don't think this should have been cheaper. Those that have seen it in person will understand the price.

awesome pics! I wish I had the space for it, but Im going to resist most of the lotr PF's but afew. Still its impressive and the mixed media works wonders for this one.The Diorama has a better likeness though

 

[Seretur]

I just hope the next LOTR PF actually has one of the truly impressive costumes from the movies. Be it something duller, like Gandalf the Grey or the Ringwraith, or something flashier, like Boromir, King Elessar, Arwen, Théoden, an Elven warrior, or indeed Gimli... that's what the mixed-media format does best, and its full potential has hardly been tapped, both here and in the SW line.

Greatness, hopefully, awaits.

PFs aren't movie theater popcorn where the size dictates the price!

Aside from the amount of polystone used to cast it, how would it have been cheaper?

They both have a detailed portrait head sculpt
Both have intricate costuming, and Frodo has more layers
Both have the same size base which is also highly detailed.

So where are the R&D savings that would allow for a cheaper price?
Where are the production savings (aside from amount of polystone) that would allow for a cheaper price?

I agree.

Just because the piece is smaller, doesn't mean it was any easier to make. Quite the contrary in fact.

The same will be true of the 1:6 line, I'll bet.

I agree Dave! Once you go white that just ain't right!

The costume is very intricate so price probably reflects this. Of course, I would have preferred if it was cheaper. My only complaint is the freakin' eye! But it does look better than the earlier pics where the eye was obviously lazy. But, for the price, I think it should not have an eye problem. Lurtz was perfect from the sculpt to the costume and paint app, so he was worth every penny.

hey to all after 3 days on the road

pics look great and after seeing the diaroma previews, Frodo is a definite keeper for me

price is not so high imo taking into account the high detailed costume

 

[Deadly Dagger]

...just doesnt do it for me...lots of detail...looks good next to Lurtz... but the LOTR PF line just isn't for me...canceled my exclusive Lurtz and never looked back

 

[Vader AL]

how come frodo didn't have an exclusive?

Same here.

He looks a lot better than the pics on Sideshow would have suggested... and its always surprising to see just how tiny hobbits are compared to other characters, especially Lurtz!

I really like the way his clothing turned out and the ring on the chain is very nice as well!

 

[Captain Faramir]

The costuming is absolutely gorgeous--if I could afford PF figures, I would definitely want to pick one up. And that little guy is SMALL! If that's the size in PF, how small are the 1/6 figures gonna be?

 

[geto10]

His left hand looks a bit weird. Nice PF

There is no denying the detail DD. But you get just as much detail (without the base) in two 12" figures and they are not $250 for 2. The base is sculpted and cheaper by your reckoning to produce. At most I think it should have been $200 and could have been if they had made an exclusive pushing the run to 2000. 1000 with lightup Sting.

Looks more than amazing !

Good work Sideshow !!

 

[bonsey]

Think he looks good from a distance standing next to Lurtz but the likeness still puts me off which is a shame as the costuming etc are fantastic.May keep him as I'd like to have a complete set of one of Sideshows lines.Just wish they would have got the diorama sculptor to do the head then it would have been perfect.

 

[Trilogy]

Nice photo`s endo1.
Hopefully mine will be with me soon.

 

[Alice Adrenochrome]

I agree with KAOSINLA on this. Never seen the face of Elijah in this sculpt, and I still don't. The cloths look very nice though. Nothing I would buy, but for those that did: glad you enjoy it! Nice pictures btw.
