I don't know if I like the blue/white striped face. Maybe it was the flash. Hopefully the color variations aren't as obvious in person. I'm also unsure about the hair. I have this on order too.
I like this bust but with all of the orcses they could have made they chose to make this one. Imagine a deluxe Lurtz with interchangeable bow and sword. That would be a huge hit.
Ah, well I actually couldn't tell from the pics - for better or worse.
As for the bases, they are just so incredibly boring, not that the SW ones or any are that great; but with the way that GG cuts the characters off at the waist, they should do something more creative with the bases, it just looks like a plastic lump of rock. The SSW elevated base is too classy!
Boring? Like the SSW ones are really all that exciting. They're different for each character or at least each character type. Thats what I like about GG busts compared to the SSW busts which was kind of boring.
Agreed, and I am not trying to be a jerk or anything; but for me anyway even in the case of the busts being something I like the bases just have always detracted for me. In my opinion because GG cuts the characters off where they do, they need to give them more height, they come off too clunky as they are.
The SSW bases are rather boring, but that's a good thing, they are elegant and simple and draw your attention not to gimmick but the subject itself.
