New LOTR is a Sauron Bust.

Sauron is great bust, but it's release so early in the series worries me. Not much different than Morgul Lord. Are they going to do any elves or hobbits? This and morgul lord would be easy to scale up from the WETA busts and the Cave Troll was a previously produced garage kit. I would think the previous 2 had relatively low developmental costs. This one also. I could be wrong, but I'm hoping this isn't going to be the only type of busts we will see in this line. That would be a shame.

Depending on the scale, this is one I may be tempted to get. Should go great with the One Ring.

 

[Sir Tristram]

Oh well, so much for a new PF! Guess that line is dead...regardless of whether they make more....waaaaay too long between releases!

 

[RoboDad]

As I said in the "guess the pre-order" poll, this is just another

 

[The Josh]

I called this one. In the next LSB thread I said Sauron would be cool. I'm getting this one for sure.

 

[RoboDad]

I've already got a Sauron helm in 1/6th scale (on the statue) and 1/4th scale. Why would anyone need a third one? It's just a helm with a bit of shoulder armor attached. There is no face to show, so how is it any different (aside from being "big")?

 

[The Josh]

Sauron's cool. I've got the statue but this is another way to get a cool piece. Nothing wrong with that. I don't need another one but I do want this. Don't see what's wrong with doing this piece.

 

[tomandshell]

Well, my guess was the Balrog, so I am officially wrong.

 

[RoboDad]

Well, there's nothing wrong with doing it, it's just that there are other busts that could also have been made, and I would rather have seen something else. Gandalf or Saruman would have been better choices for me.

I just have zero interest in yet another Sauron helm.

 

[The Josh]

That's fine. That doesn't make it a bad choice overall though. Just for you.

 

[RoboDad]

True, but does anyone else really matter?

 

[Darth Loki]

Why the hell have we had 3 legendary scale busts since the last PF announcement? I'm getting seriously frustrated with SS and this line.

 

[FlyAndFight]

Nice looking bust but I don't collect this line. I'm guessing a Lurtz bust is just around the corner.

And like RoboDad, I've already got the statue and the 1/4 bust.

 

[carbo-fation]

Hmm...I wish they'd done a Balrog or a Nazgul. There are already plenty of Sauron Busts on the market.

 

[RoboDad]

I just keep waiting for something in the legendary bust line that will make me want to jump in, but so far, they are batting a solid .000. Maybe some time if I can find a good enough deal on the Troll I might get one, but since I already have the SSW Troll bust, even that isn't offering much of a compelling reason.

LOTR PFs? Is that a product line that Sideshow used to do?

 

[darth dypshyt]

Yeah, I was kinda hoping for a PF announcement...And while the bust looks awesome...

I think I'll pass..

Yeah...It's about like that, hey Tom..

 

[Seretur]

It is a very nice piece, for all the Sauron saturation out there.

Seems to have a way better paintjob than the pretty disappointing one on the SS/W helmet.

And they're not going to be doing any human likenesses, so this was an obvious choice, I guess!
