Sauron Bust $380---What the crap!!!!!!!!!

[Beruthiel]

His neck area is way to wimpy when you compare it tio the statue. Sauron has a thick neck not a giraffed pencil neck. I prefer my 36 inch UC helm to this one.

Yes! That's what has bugged me about it since I first saw it. The neck just looks wrong. Of course, I'm not taken with it at all, but that's me. Others will think it's the greatest thing SS has done. Each to his own, but I'm not going there with this. I plain don't like it. And, the price is a lot too much for me to swallow.

Why thank you, Alex!

Don't sweat it... it'll be available aftermarket soon enough.

Yes, good for the US collectors. The EU collectors are not likely to find it at a lower price than SSC offers it. This bust and pretty much everything SSC sales.

Love the ML bust...Sauron is an easy pass...I agree with many...its missing something.

 

[WrathofSauron]

Its the neck thats putting me off esp at that price!! This would have been a good Xmas bust, It reminds me a bit of a Turkey's neck!!

Turkey Sauron!!

Yeah, it really looks weird.....I prefer my Sauron statue anytime to this strange-looking bust!

Didn't think much of the ML bust initially...then I saw it in person [WOW!]. I do like this bust, though the pose and neck do seem a bit off to me. I will be adding it to my collection, but only if I can get it for significantly less than the $380 list price.

 

[oxbeard]

Even with the scrawny neck I still think it looks great. Of course, having said that I'm still more than happy with my UC 1:1 helm. No sale here.

 

[Agent23]

$380 ?

umm...nope.

 

[Fubeca]

Anyone happen to notice the height?

24 inches tall

That's as big as the statue. Also it's not just a helm, but includes the shoulders as well. Not my cup o'tea, but I can see how they arrived at that price.

Danny this is where you come in!!!

 

[NASEDO]

I would of like to seen the "chest" in there, the "sholders only" makes it look wierd. It does look good but I rather go with the weta statue, nice companion to PF lurtz or the UC helm.

Danny this is where you come in!!!

LOL I'm at work at the moment so I can't be my usual self right now.

 

[customizerwannabe]

This will be for sale on the SS site for years!!!

 

[Bannister]

This will be for sale on the SS site for years!!!

Unless they give it a low es.

 

[customizerwannabe]

Yeah...like 100.

 

[gideon]

So what would be a fair price that would encourage your order?
For myself - about $225.00.

 

[The Josh]

It looks awesome and from the pics of the costume accurate but with everything coming this summer C4 (2 exclusives from SS alone), SDCC, etc. I will have to pass for now.

 

[woodsy]

Yeah...like 100.

That estimate may be a tad generous! At $380 this piece just might end up with the lowest ES in LOTR history.
Hopefully, when this thing bombs SS will realize it's not the bust itself, or the legendary scale line that people are unhappy with....I for one don't want to see SS scrap this line.
