PF Frodo Image Thread

Admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery.

That's what Lindsay Lohan told me.

That's what Lindsay Lohan told me.

Wait, not only are you a recovering doll collector but a recovering skank as well.

 

[The Josh]

Damn! How'd ya know?

I'm sure having a hard time getting good pictures of this guy. The flash just kills it, but without the flash the pictures aren't in focus. Grrrr.....

 

[The Josh]

Still came out nicely. Hopefully Bob will get his soon from SS.

 

[Seretur]

Since he's fourth scale, does any of the helmets fit him?

 

[Gruson]

Looks good to me!

The hair could be a little bushier but I think it looks a lot like Woods.

I have to say that the large pic close ups don't do this figure any favors! In person looking at him in normal light he's fantastic. But you blow things up 3 times bigger than they're supposed to be and of course you're going to notice a lot of things wrong. I don't even notice the mouth thing and probably never would have if it hadn't been mentioned here.

That is certainly the case, I wanted to get some real closeup shots to relieve any fears about the eyes. The mouth was noticeable to me, but not distracting.

Collecting both scales, there is no doubt the PF's look like dressed statues while the 12 inchers look like man dollies. Nature of the beasts. The quality is obviously better on the PF's as well it should be at a 5-8 times higher price point.

I think the 12" Star Wars line is the best of the current lot. Pretty well done overall. However, I think they really cut corners on the LOTR line. Aragorn should have been stellar. You want the first figure out of the gate to dazzle your audience. The reception was, for the most part, lukewarm...as was the figure. That said, they are still miles ahead of DiD's slapped together versions.

The PF's really allow the SS production team to shine and show their talents through this hybrid of statue and doll. On the downside playability is in the toilet.

I feel the PF's provide me with a showcase collection that will impress anyone. The 12" give me an artistic outlet to alter, improve, and generally let me maintain that childlike wonder with toys.

At this point they work together for me in perfect concert, and I wouldn't want to lose either.

it's funny I always think of my Anakin, Obi, Luke, Aragorn etc figures as statues, just statues I can change the pose on. Also for me (in many cases, not all) I'm not sure the outfits could really be bettered. Certainly not on the ones I've got. Maybe straight out of the box, but once you've posed the clothes with thte figure? Fabulous.

They don't seem any more toy like than the more expensive PF's... although I suspect for some, that will be why they don't like their PF's being called toys....... They spent more money on them.

Of course.... at the end of the day... they're alltoys, even if you spend $1,500 on something.

Quite right, and anyone who gets offended at people calling them that should take an objective look at what they are. Cartoon, comic book, and movie related...toys. The term has never bothered me. I don't collect to impress others. Only myself and my kids.

Calling them toys doesn't bother me at all. Heck, my wife refers to all of my hobbies (collectibles, computers, home theater, and so on...) as my toys (usually with a roll of her eyes and a shake of her head ).

But "dolls"? [Bugs Bunny]Dem's fightin' woids![/Bugs Bunny]

James Woods? Tiger Woods? Or Elijah Wood? LOL, Just giving you a hard time.

Nice pics, but Frodo doesn't have that "Wow" factor for me like Lurtz does. I'll wait until Sideshow makes a character more worthy of the PF treatment.

 

[Sir Tristram]

When will the second Flex-Payment be processed? Anyone know?
I mean, people are already receiving their Forod and my second payment has not even been taken out!

 

[The Josh]

How is Frod not worthy of the PF Treatment? He's the freaking ringbearer? He's kind of vital to the whole story ya know.

I had the same thought, but then just assumed he meant worthy in terms of a more dynamic appearance.

Choopie is female actually.

I'm guessing she means by costume that deserves to be done in PF or other characters outside the Fellowship. Which either way doesn't make sense since despite being simple in some ways the Fellowship had cool costumes and they where also a tad bit important to the story.
