now I can see why UC is making all this Sauron stuff again after seeing the Hobbit today
 
anyone receive the new sauron helm yet? Is it heavy and worth the price? Still contemplating whether I should snag one or not or save for something else
 
Just got the new helm last night, for some reason it seems smaller than the first one I had. The finish is different to, very high gloss, where as the old one had a dull mat and worn finish. It says its wearable but when I tried it on it only covers half my face, so it definitely looks and feels smaller. Even the box says "actor size" helm replica, and if I recall correctly the older version said life size helm.

Not sure how I feel about that, might send it back, might not. Gonna do a review this weekend on it.

I sent mine back. QC was bad and I really did not want an "actor size" prop. I don't have a big head and I barely fit into it. Overall not impressed, looks good from across the room, but up close it seems a bit cheap. I may pick up another one someday and hope for a better piece without the QC issues, but it would have to be cheap. I wanted it for a Sauron display with the PF, Weta Barad Dur, master replica ring prop, and Vanderstelt art canvas behind. I have everything but the helm now, may pick up the LSB to fill the place.
 
Very disappointed to hear this. I was so close to buying the new helm, guess I won't be now.

I, too, was planning to make a Sauron display with the PF, life-size helm, Vanderstelt print, and the gauntlet.

Does anyone here have the new gauntlet? How does it compare to the original?
 
Anyone getting the new Sauron Gauntlet? Looks awesome...got mine ordered.

That looks absolutely gorgeous. Wish I had the spare funds to buy it.
 
Very nice review, thank you.
I think there is another flaw, like a resin blob on the bottom of that off-center spice, opposite that forehead oval area.
 
I was never impressed with the first helm either, so looks like I wouldn't care for this version. The gauntlet is awesome, have the first. The Sauron mace is tempting, but I fear it will have the same finish and look of the helm.
