Would have been a stunning piece but that orange overspray was a really stupid decision. Will prob look even worse on the final production pieces. I'm out.

Exactly.. That and the big head is why I chose to buy old Weta version. It will also match SS maquette line scalewise, which I think we won't be seeing in that line from SS for many many years.

Thats the only negative I see
Dont look the size,look the finished details,ill pay 1k if was exactly like lithography and lighted helm and base
For your money maybe. Having seen this in person I have no problems saying this is very much worth the price. This is amazingly detailed if you actually looked at my pictures instead of sticking your head in the sand. Also, you can still get Jerry's print from his store to put two fantastic pieces together. Finally, a light up helm would have made it more expensive and look dumb.
Well, as of now those are all the known items. I expect Merry/Pippin are on the horizon and I wouldn't be shocked if we see some more as The Hobbit lights a fire under new Middle-earth fans.

All I want is Gimli and Boromir PF and I'd die happy
Like I said I think there are pieces coming to fill in any empty space sooner rather than later. However, something I was just thinking to roll with my point about bandwagon fans. The Lord of the Rings pieces Sideshow has been turning out with the RWOS, Sauron, and all of the statues are some of their best pieces ever. Better than most of the marvel, SW, dc, GI Joe, etc so I hope we get these bandwagon fans so the heat gets turned up and we get more amazing items from Middle-earth.

Josh, you saw barad dur and sauron pf at SSCC. Which one you choose if you had the money for just one piece?
I always considered barad dur as the main big boss cause we see it so many time in the trilogy, the fortress with the red eye, but sauron is just at the beginning of the FOTR.
For the cost difference, it looks like I'm getting more for my money with sauron PF. I ordered the fortress cause I thought sauron would be to expensive far over 1K but at 900$, It's a real joke.
You that saw both, am I right?

Yeah, I saw both. That's a tough question to be honest. Both items are amazing and worth getting (like I am). Are you more into environments or big pieces like the PF? I'm a terrible chooser in situations like this.
Both companies produced items I felt were vital to my collection. So as I said I think you need to look at your collection and just chose which fits better.

listen to him he was there (Josh you thought it was going to be $2000 and well worh it) this is so amazingly cheap. sideshow have really moved up a gear lately.
I wouldn't have been shocked at 2k. I really thought it would land at $1200 or even $1500-1600. However, the fact it landed less than 1k was a nice surprise.
