Statue Snow Troll Statue

[woodsy]

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...

Nope, the dwarf was always part of the design. He was sculpted in a different material than the Troll though (and had to be sculpted separate and added to the Troll's grip later, to achieve the detail), which is why he's absent from those progress pics.

Good job Andy! That's a tiny cute dorf. Now bring on the Cave Troll PF!

Been running the roads today taking the pup to the vet, and getting ready for my big East Coast trip, but damn...

This I was not expecting.

$325 price + No NRD = furystorm ordering

(because it gives me every chance to cancel down the line)

(but I won't be ordering if the product description reads anywhere there is a cancellation fee)

Gotta run!

 

[slynger]

not to get off topic, but I love the sig fuzzy, makes a good point

 

[furystorm]

I'm still in awe that this has not NRD, where the Stegosaurus does and is also $25 more than the troll. Although, if the Stego was at SDCC, I missed it, so I can't really make a fair comparison.

This Troll just seems like a lot of bang for your buck...

Excellent pic's...thanks!

That's a damn good looking piece.

 

[furystorm]

It just struck me that this has the potential to come in right at $300 from BBTS, and I still have a $50 credit with them...

 

[fuzzylojiks]

So is this the same scale as the rest of the line?

 

[RoboDad]

This is not technically part of the maquette line, but no, it is not the same scale as those pieces. If it had been, there is no way it would have come in at $325.

 

[The Josh]

Right its like the Cave Troll/Balrog in its in a different scale in order to come in under a gazillion dollars.

 

[fuzzylojiks]

Nah even a 1/4 won't be a gazillion dollars.

They did fine with Abomination PF, still didn't cost that much.

 

[The Josh]

That was hyperbole I used there. Wasn't meant in the literal sense of the usage.

Oh really? I thought you really meant a gazillion dollars!

(better add the smiley this time so you don't think I'm serious or this may never end. )
