Statue Arwen Maquette

[The Josh]

Really glad you like her. I agree she is another very solid addition to the line and just a great representation of the character.

I LOVE these two statues together and the paint apps on my Arwen are just fine.

how do i get that sword in the middle?

 

[DarthChrisDK]

It looks like a miniature sword from United Cutlery. Think I saw it once on the back of the box for one of my swords.

thanks. Bought one, i got the ringwraith sword, they are 1/5 scale too so should fit nicely with these statues and appears to be high quality.

I got my new Arwen exclusive head. It is a bit nicer than my other one but still not the best paint app I've seen. Overall this is a nice statue and sitting on the shelf next to Aragorn she looks great. The close-up pictures make it look worse than it is. I already destroyed my old head so I can't take comparison shots. Anyway, I doubt I could take good enough pictures for anyone to see a huge difference.

I should pick this up because I do have the EX Aragorn. I've just been waiting for a PF Arwen and Gimli. I hate the SS does some characters in one format but not the other like Gimli . Not to mention several orcs . I'm sure it's part of an evil master.

Would anyone here, who owns both statues, be willing to post side-by-side comparison pics of the new Arwen Maquette, and the old Sideshow Weta Arwen Evenstar statue? I like the pose and the costume on the old one, a bit better but I am not sure how the headsculpt compares to the new one(which is quite decent). I am talking about sculpt only, since I would repainting it anyway.

 

[Fremen]

Weta one looks more like liv to me for sure.

Here you go.

 

[gagaliya]

The left one definitely has much better likeness to liv, the right one is higher quality in term of details but likeness is nonexsistent. The only way is to get the head pro repainted to look like liv, some of the painters here does amazing work.

Unfortunately getting this statue is on back burner for me, with a massive amount of new releases incoming.

 

[Fremen]

I agree. I think the weta one looks waaay more like Liv.

 

[The Josh]

I would say the new statue has a better likeness to Liv but to each his own.

 

[Seanrm]

Yep, have to agree with Josh.
I have both and the new version is a much more accurate representaion of Liv.

 

[Fremen]

I think the new one is nicer but the likeness to me is more with the Weta one. The face on the weta one, especially the mouth, that kind of top lip sticks out a little farther or something that she has is well represented on the weta one.
Also, the shape of her face is more like Livs real face.

Yeah it's funny different people see the same thing differently. The weta one at least you can tell it's liv even though the paint/quality isnt good, the sideshow arwen looked nice as a standalone statue of an elf but there is no likeness to liv. Not sure how you guys manage to see liv in that statue.

 

[The Josh]

Real easy because it looks like Liv. I wouldn't say it if I didn't think it or feel that way.

 

[Fremen]

Kind of makes you wonder if we all see the colour blue the same way...

[The Josh]

We all see certain things different I suppose. I was just looking at it and it looks like Liv to me.

Arwen is finally in the house.

Not great shots, but I hope you enjoy them non-the-less.

[The Josh]

Nice shots Bill! She's another really solid entry into the line. Now, the wait until May really begins.
