It's #0206 of 1000.......

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.

That would've .

Better then I expected, tempting, but only at a good price. I think the Star Wars PF line put my standards too high, with Obi, Leia, GG, Vader. I still don't like the Sculpt for the money. The Crack of Doom Diroama looks like a better Frodo.

Meh, definately a no go area for me. Looks too dolly. Can't beat my little Weta Frodie, in my opinion.

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.

Yeah, but there is no way they would sell 2000. They barely could sell 1000 without an exclusive.

Um No. Sorry. They're about as close to dolls as the SSW pieces are. They have real Clothing sure but they're totally made of poly in the bodie. These ain't Barbies.

Hmmm, the mouth is the worst part for me, even worse than the eyes. Not one of the best PF, no no.

Yeah, they are museum quality display pieces, at least according to the website.

Frodo Baggins PF Images ...

Funny, I cancelled my order a few days back and re-ordered it, to take advantage of the rewards points -- and I STILL GOT MINE BEFORE A LOT OF YOU!

The costuming on this PF is just amazing, the weathering could not be done any better. No I don't think the likeness is perfect, but it sure is nice; esp when looking at him from the right. I am very impressed with this figure - and no googley eyes! The base on this one is hollow like Lurtz, but the detail far surpasses the former. Moria has always been my favorite film and book moment, so I couldn't be happier that they chose this for Frodo. Of course this means that Gandalf the Grey should also come from the "Moria moments," their dialogue is unforgettable.

Anyway here are some pics:

No lazy eye:

Re: Frodo Baggins PF Images ...

Everything looks great except the head. Are you going to get it repainted, or could you live with it. It's just awful in "front view"

Digging the base, though

And Matt, very good pictures!

You didn't get yours before an official image thread was made:

Glad to see that they won't all have bad eyes though.

In fact they are, kinda wierd I thought?

Of course there are always nit-picks, my only real gripe are the lips - they are indeed a bit dark.

Re: Frodo Baggins PF Images ...

If Sideshow is required to get the "TM" on there for legal reasons, it needs to be done with a bit more class than this on a high end collectible.

I assume that this was a last minute production fix for Frodo. In the future, I hope they can work the trademark symbol into the sculpt itself, if it's required. That would look a lot better than little tacked on stickers.



I haven't seen mine yet!! Got home after midnight, saw the box on the counter, went straight to bed, woke up and went back to work. I hope to get mine unpacked this afternoon.

Yeah but if they are stickers, can't you pull them off and make it look even better? Who wants a TM anyway?

The legal team and licensing folks at New Line, apparently!!!

Re: Frodo Baggins PF Images ...

I agree. I'd rather have stickers that I can peel off.

Re: Frodo Baggins PF Images ...

Awesome stuff, Matt. :chew

Not as awe-inspiring as, say, The Hulk, but the costume looks very well done.
