Statue Weta Workshop's Bilbo Baggins Barrel Rider from The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

[The Ween]

Ordered the Bilbo barrel!! Now I need to find something to put 12 of these on to make it look interesting.

If you could get a nice display box with some kind of curve effect that might look good.

I was checking out a cheap fountain set up online, but I'll have to wait till I get Bilbo in hand to actually get a feel for it.

It's too bad you can't set these in water.

 

[Boromir]

You could put them on acrylic stands and put those into the water.
Not sure about the damp.

That could be pretty cool looking if you could pull it off.

What about some type of material, like maybe blue silk?

 

[The Josh]

That would work! Especially with some kind of unique tiered shelving unit.

Got mine today. Pretty cool little item.

 

[AluminumFalcon]

thats looks great for the price, i especially like the paint on it. Didnt even know it had been released so soon think ill go pick it up

 

[guitarmandan]

I'm definitely in for this line also...it's such a cool idea and a cheaper alternative to having the whole party(with the exception of Gandalf of course). Will look awesome when displayed as a whole set

 

[guitarmandan]

woops...meant a cheaper WAY of owning the whole party(instead of buying the expensive 1/6 scale statues).

 

[The Josh]

The price is quite good for something like this and its really detailed. It will be a nice way to get all the dwarves if someone chooses to go this route.

Exactly my thinking Josh

Plus they don't take up a lot of shelf space leaving room for plenty of other items.

Looks nice Josh, thanks for sharing! I've bought it as well and it's on its way. Would you be able to take a photo of this along with the other 3 mini-statues? Thanks!

Which is ALWAYS good!!

I mist say your pics looks better than Weta's, the paint looks flatter

No problem. I'll take better pics soon. Took these with my iPhone which does good in a pinch. I can try and do that tomorrow sure.

Indeed

It is a flatter paint than the initial pictures but still has a nice wet look to it.

There is going to be a SDCC exclusive of Gandalf in red shorts sitting on a life guard chair
