That's because there are faces in it. The skirt is supposed to be made out of the dead faces of his victims.

 

[Cartman5579]

And why did i not know that? Hmm

 

[SurlyJ]

Yeah I didn't know that or don't remember it about Azog, but that's awesome. Is that from the books?

It was said a couple times once I think in a little how they made Azog doc before the movie came out. No it's a movie only thing.

 

[SurlyJ]

Oh ok. That would explain why I didn't know it. Good detail though and certainly appropriate!

 

[The Josh]

Yeah, its a pretty cool detail.

Nice pictures! Going to look at mine more closely tomorrow. That's some nice details.

 

[Remember Me?]

Correct me if I am wrong, shouldn't Azog be more pale?

 

[The Josh]

Nice pictures! Going to look at mine more closely tomorrow. That's some nice details.

Thank you

What an awesome piece. Not my scale, but I'm jealous

You can see the faces really well on the life-size statue WETA had at SDCC. In a wired way that was part of the reason I had to add Azog to my collection of bad guys from middle earth. I really liked him in the movie but him wearing the faces of his victims as his kilt just made him that much more evil and fun to look at. Can't wait to see this one in person.

Sorry for the crappy pic. But for those that haven't seen. Just google it and you can see what I'm talking about.

Picked mine up today and you definitely don't appreciate the size from the pictures until you have it in hand. But unfortunately my experience was spoiled since I'm missing the claw hand and there's a fairly large blotch of white paint on the right paw. Also noticed the right forearm with the mace is not the same color and style as the rest of the flesh.

 

[The Josh]

Damn frank

 

[Deedzy]

Looks like a nice sized piece, had no idea his loincloth was made from the faces of defeated enemies.

 

[Fritz]

Damn frank

Yeah, it sucks when you're looking forward to something and it arrives with issues. But I'm going to assume Weta will take care of it. The biggest problem is the missing claw hand.

 

[The Josh]

They'll talk care of ya. It's just the waiting again is going to suck.

The claw hand is easy to replace. If you are missing the wolf, then that's a big problem.

My first from Weta and it's screaming grail ... heavy as hell and super dynamic pose ... the metal frame keeps it center balanced despite the obvious leaning of the warg (feels like it will tip over but it doesn't) !!! Beautiful !!
