Ringwraith Legendary Scale Bust

[Figurefreaks]

I don’t like it! …I love it.

 

[jrjhoe]

I don't know...
But it's VERY GOOD! :chew

I expect the price will drop, because there isn't an exclusive version...

 

[WrathofSauron]

Simply superb, menacing and scary too!! Just like Weta/SS RWOS statue, and the Gandalf LSB bust this one is destined for iconic status in my opinion!! Ordered!!

It's been almost 2 years since I ordered a Sideshow Lord of the Rings peice but I think I'm gonig to have to get this to add to my Ringwraith on Steed, Morgal Lord and Witch King statues!

DAMN YOU SIDESHOW!!!

It's okay. Not enamored with it. I don't care for the sawed-off look either, and I wonder, over the long term, how well the overall piece will hold up with just a small section attached to the base.

I'm passing. At this point, the only LS busts I'd be interested in would be Treebeard (because I missed out on the WETA version), and an Easterling (an underrated character with a fantastic costume design that would look good in any format).

 

[Slingblade]

I ordered one, I couldnt resist, I didnt really know about sideshow until a little while ago and now I am playing catch-up with all the cool pieces I missed when they originally came out.

I just got a treebeard in the mail last nite and I have to say, he is one of the coolest looking things Ive ever bought, the detail is totally amazing.

In full agreement with choopie on this one. I have RW on Steed on its far superior to this in every possible way. If I want to look at a ringwraith I can look at the entire thing and not some sawed off version.

 

[Seretur]

I'm with Choopie too.

...except that I own Treebeard, and every time a LSB comes along, I compare it to Treebeard and go, "Nahhhh"...

 

[LOTRFan]

I'm with Choopie too.

...except that I own Treebeard, and every time a LSB comes along, I compare it to Treebeard and go, "Nahhhh"...

Treebeard is legendary, no doubt. This is a good one though, and I think the pose is quite accurate; much more so than the GG version.

Once this hits about $130-140 I'll jump.

 

[Seretur]

Nothing particularly wrong with the GG version, though...

 

[LOTRFan]

I never cared for the sword position much, it always appeared very disproportionate.

 

[Seretur]

Okay, I can see where you're coming from, Matt -- the Nazgul's position in the Sideshow piece is somewhat more reminiscent of the Weathertop scene, even though the only time you see one holding the Morgul Knife up like this is right before Frodo puts on the Ring. And we've seen how this particular pose was chosen to reflect the concurrent WiKi LSB. Still, the Sideshow version is much more spooky and ghoulish, despite the unfortunate waistline and not particularly appropriate base.

The GG bust is the only one of the three available (including the original SS/W piece) that actually wields a sword. And while this sword isn't perfectly proportioned -- unlike, say, the one on the ML statue -- and it doesn't resemble any particular scene, it is nicely balanced in the overall sculpt, and I'm quite pleased with it. In fact, I have yet to be disappointed in any of the GG LOTR busts, despite their general lack of popularity.

 

[The Josh]

The GG one is quite cool but so is this one and why I decided to place an order for it.

I'm getting the GTG LSB from Rumi so this will be only the second one for me.

 

[DarthSid]

I pre-ordered this today.

 

[Deadly Dagger]

OK...I'm on board I can make room for it...wOoT!

 

[misbitski]

Got my preorder in at DSC!

 

[Vince]

They will look cool next to eachother:

 

[woodsy]

They will look cool next to eachother:

They certainly will look terrific side by side!

 

[jrjhoe]

... as long as you aren't looking right towards the wiki true form...

 

[carbo-fation]

I am definitely getting this. Since this one is not an exclusive, I'll probably end up getting it from a retailer.
