I might even go back and pick them all up after having dropped this line if they were all available.
Sure eventually that would be cool. But I want a Bill the Pony first! If Star Wars can have their creature packs, why not us LotR collectors.
Lots of folks still feel burned by Weta with the Fellowship not being done in Fellowship gear. To face facts the company linked to Weta and the the LOTR line is Sideshow. I think the Fellowship is important if we only have a few left I would rather see a complete fellowship than nothing at all. After all the Title of the First book as well as the first movie is "THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING". They have spent the $$$ on the body so why not put a Gimli, Merry and Pippin head on it I would also love to have a Bilbo. The only Character left to complete for Fellowship is Gandalf the Grey. If they do not complete the Fellowship then I fully expect a Fellowship diorama with them all crossing the hilltop. LOTR was Sideshows first big hit and I think it would be shame to see the Fellowship slip away yet again.
My plan is to get all the figures in this line. That being said though I wouldn't mind seeing Merry and Pippin come fairly soon. The Fellowship is the heart of LOTR and if something happens and this line doesn't go long I want all 9 members.
I don't see how orcs can be done in the 1/6th scale line. Most of them have bare arms and legs, and would require specially-molded "orc-arms" and "orc-legs" in order to look at all good. The only other alternative would be to develop skin coverings for the existing arms and legs, but that's something Sideshow has never done before.
I'd much rather see Merry and Pippin NOW, using the newly-crafted bodies, and THEN move on to other possibilities.
