I don't actually own one. I have seen several in person over the years. I also have seen all of the Hobbit releases at the WETA booth at this years Salt Lake City Comicon. They are nice pieces, although I still prefer Sideshows full sculpted pieces that I have. I have however put my name on...

I personally prefer Sideshow statues to WETA statues. Although it is looking like I will just need to wrap my mind around the basic WETA base and what I consider to be more glossy paint apps. I am disappointed that sideshow likely won't be producing any full sculpt 1/6 statues. I much prefer...

That is too bad some of you are getting such badly damaged pieces. Sideshow is hating it also. I personally just think the packaging was poorly designed. It almost looks like the huge hole cut out of the styrofoam was an afterthought. Almost like they designed the styrofoam all enclosed and...

I received mine on Tuesday. Nothing was broken. It's a nice piece! I have the same misaligned robe that Drakul had a picture of. I actually didn't even notice it until I looked at his pictures. So I guess it isn't so much damage as just a slightly crude edition of that part of the robe. It...

Tuesday Bump

I am located in Utah, USA

I got my Arthas statue in the mail yesterday. Overall it is a very nice statue. The base is huge and the ice looks awesome. My only real complaint is the cloak that sticks out underneath the right shoulder of Arthas. I can't figure out why they didn't make it continue up under the shoulder...

I am looking to sell the following SideShow Lord of the Rings statues as I have been collecting more of the maquette line and I am running out of room on my shelves. Aragorn - Premium Format Exclusive - $450 OBO Legolas - Premium Format Exclusive - $400 OBO Frodo - Premium Format - $250 OBO...

I think people want Merry and Pippen because we have the rest of the fellowship in a similar format. The size matches, the bases match, etc. It is too bad to see the line not selling very well. Hopefully Sideshow will strill trickle out a piece or 2 from LOTR. However, with the LOTR movies...

I broke down and ordered this one. All the positive reviews made me want it! Thanks guys for making me spend my money. Now lets hope when I get it in a few days I like it!

Or as blasphamous as this might be. I overall prefer this look even if it also is a bit "over-the-top" Hmm I have no idea how to get bigger / better pictures to post.

I didn't say he had chicken legs. Just that he looks too skinny for my taste. I don't know what he really looks like but in the movie he seemed to be more bulky. I suppose part of my dislike for the piece may have something to do with the overall armor that Sauron wears. Not specifically...

I have to agree with a few other posters. I still think the statue has an effeminate look. I think it is a combination of factors. He seems a bit on the skinny side for starters. The left leg pose adds to that feminine feel. Also from the pictures the way the robes hang it actually makes...

I got this piece yesterday. VERY nice! Best part about it is there isn't much for people to complain about. No complaints on likeness, face paint apps or googly eyes. I think the paint app turned out really nice overall. It is a big piece but I suppose the wraiths were somewhat large with...
