Just watched all the blu-rays, did one a night all last week. Working thru them in chronological order:
TPM - I used to hate this episode (apart from Liam Neeson) I actually enjoyed this more than ever on this viewing. Maybe it was the fact that Yoda didnt look so appalling now a CGI model was...
Mods of Mordor! Cast this thread back into the fire from whence it came!
Or in other words....
Lock it up these lil guys are sold!
My wallet is happier. I am not. I really liked these guys :monkey2
In case anyone is wondering what 'mostly just displayed means'... I couldnt resist taking these pics when I first got em:
I'm getting out of collecting :monkey2 Keeping only a few select pieces and my Sideshow LotR figures are the hardest to part with. So please give them a good home!
*SOLD!*
Hi all, i'm selling these opened but with boxes (plus sideshow shipping cartons) 1:6 exclusives of Frodo Baggins and Sam Gamgee. Very good condition, 'mostly' just displayed, any defects or extras are listed below:
£40 for Sam: Box is in fine condition but the Exclusive sticker is...

I was really into these when they first came out. The mounts legs were a glove, which you put your hand in obviously, to look like insect legs... I thought it was a great idea at the time.
Hi Geb, theGD.com used to be a daily stop for me too. Glad to hear you're back, you're bad, you're green and you're still mad about LotR! I used to collect LotR ToyBiz and found your website very helpful to keep track of releases and salivate over the figures I had yet to buy.
Loads of pics...
All from my childhood - films just don't scare me anymore.
Jaws - I still find the scene where Quint / Robert Shaw is getting munched quite hard to bare. Also, in Jaws II when the chopper, which I thought would be 100% safe, gets pulled under and effs up the kids boats even more!
Poltergeist -...
Batman Begins - I'm a big fan of Tim Burton's Batman & Batman Returns so it took me a little while to re-adjust. All fine by 2nd viewing.
Eyes Wide Shut - as it was Kubrick's last film and he also said it was his best, I had very high expectations. Just didn't like it 1st time depsite all the T...
Hot Toys did release early messed up paint apps of the new John Connor fig... but they recalled all of them and gave out replacements. Happens to every company i reckon. Just gotta roll with the punches.
Re: DC Direct 1:6?
I used to own a bunch of these and heres what I thought:
Price: not worth it compared to SS and HT products at a smidgen more. Most can be bought for nearly half price of the release value thru eBay except for the difficult ones people have already mentioned (GL and first...
Yup, I need to get my hands on ANH Farmer Luke and Smuggler Han... again! Used to own both exclusives but had to sell em at the start of the year. The trooper disguise heads sculpts look great in that kitbash!
