"Down here it's our time, Mr. Frodo! It's our time down here!"

Samwise is still searching for One Eyed Willie...

Oh, I know. Just messing with you. As you said, personal preference. I remember the red spot in the photo I posted from when I was a kid, so I always thought it was a red stone. Took the advent of DVDs before I could tell the color for sure. You never really see the red stone, just the light...

Well, can an amber stone do this? ;) Yours looks slightly more detailed than the Acme piece I have. Who made yours? It's really nice.

There are some very talented prop makers out there that have higher standards than the mass produced merchandise. What you are paying for with Noble is the "Official" tag. I can pass on that. Many of the whip makers will make cheaper display whips if you request it. Some go for as low as $100...

I can't stop posing this thing! Here's my latest. Took a bit of balancing, as the joints still haven't firmed up too much. But once there, he's holding it fairly well.

I think the main argument here is getting overlooked. Sure, it looks like a great piece on its own. But some of us want a 1:6th scale replica of the film prop, not just a good looking piece. If we can forgive them for adding stormflap studs and wrong-colored waist cinchers on the jacket, at...
