And to be honest, I don't see a single thing wrong with the Dwarf sculpt. Looks very detailed to me, especially for its size.

I'm blaming you for this.

Total awesomeness.....$325....no NRD......you are doomed Robo!

When I guessed it would be $375.00 I never thought I was gonna be $50 over (not complaining). I wonder what the edition size will be?

Sound's like it will be TBD. I usually despise those....but this time I'll make an exception.......SDCC 2011 STEAL of the SHOW

The lack of an NRD leads me to believe it will be a fairly large ES. I bet they are banking on the Cave Troll similarity to sell a lot of these.

I agree with you. No complaints from me. Looks better than the mini-Gandalf on the Balrog diorama.

I will make you pay. Somehow, some time, some way. Revenge is a dish best served... cold.

I saw a card at Comic-Con that said $325 for the price but I was sure that had to be a misprint. Glad, I was totally wrong on that and this price is awesome for how great this piece looks. I've got $150 in RP I will be using so I'll get the Troll for $175.

I agree, the dwarf looks terrific to me.

This is definitely the year of 2nd chances for LOTR collectors. If you missed out on Orthanc 10 years ago you can get a bigger, better version for only $250.00 and you can snag a bigger, cooler troll IMO for only $25.00 more than the original cave troll. It doesn't get much better.

I couldn't have said that better myself. Pure brilliance....

 

[slynger]

gotta say that's a nice price, now just to see the pics!

edit: nevermind, my pics just loaded

I just hope that we're all dancing in the streets over the RWOS PF price.

 

[Seaward]

Damn you Sideshow!! This is priced at a point close enough to the maquettes and the Premium Format line that I will be ordering this.

He is huge, the detail is great, and the price is really nice too. I would totally prefer a Fellowship Cave Troll, but I won't pass up this chance.

Well...something SMALL has been othering me about this every since it came out. We know that the original sculpt had an EMPTY hand and that the statue now has the DWARF in the hand. But, assuming that the Troll is fighting this dwarf, one would think that the Troll would be LOOKING at the dwarf...but he is looking away like he is running somewhere instead of focusing on the dwarf he is about to squash. Just comes across like the dwarf is too much of an afterthought with the original sculpt...was thinking the head should be turned slightly toward the dwarf and the eyes focused on the impending SMASH!

I know...VERY nitpicky, but still...

Don't push you're luck......

 

[NAZGUL-KING]

Yeah, no kidding......hopefully SS isn't using the Snow Troll to soften the eventual RWOS kick-to-the-sack.

I don't think that is necessarily true. I imagine the Troll fighting a swarm of Dwarves, and this poor fellow just got a little too close. The Troll grabbed him up, but his main focus was on the other 30 Dwarves rushing toward him. The small nuisance he held in his grip would most likely be either flung aside (into a tree or the side of a mountain), or used as a projectile to hurl at his enemies, after crushing the life out of him.

Also, we've already had clarification that the sculpt was never intended to be Dwarf-free. The WIP photos were simply taken before the Dwarf was ready.

No, we know the Troll had an empty hand because the dwarf hadn't been added yet...that according to the sculptor himself who also added the dwarf was always going to be a part of the statue...something that hardly qualifies as an afterthought.
