Asmus Toys : Frodo Baggins and Samwise Gamgee

[Raymond F.]

Will you try to re-hair Frodo? I'd like to see this!

I may! I think it could work and look cool. But I do think the length is such that it works sculpted too.

Samwise Gamgee 2.0 arrived in Minas Miami today!

The first thing I checked was the body, to make sure it wasn't loose, which fortunately it wasn't.

Outfit is outstanding, as are the accessories.

The head sculpt is, in my opinion, a 7.5 out of 10. There's no denying who it is supposed to be. I don't have the first version, so can't compare but I do like the sculpt. It may not be an exact capture of Sean Astin but it definitely captures the essence of him as Sam.

Yeah im not digging the 2.0 sam sculpt. I didnt like it in the pre order stage so luckily found a 1st version.

I'm a big fan of metal weapons. Sharper details.

I got Sam last night, and I was less than impressed, honestly. Nothing seems to be as finely tailored as we've come to expect, and the lack of stand - when Merry and Pippin got one - is a bit cheap.

Regarding the headsculpt though, I think part of what's throwing it off is it's made of an extremely thin vinyl, and it's not holding it's shape very well. I filled it with kneadatite and let it dry a little "fatter" and I think it made a world of difference.

Looks great, Capn! I may have to do that to mine when he gets here.

(I got poor Sam righted for you. )

 

[Lee in MI]

Better but still quite off.

 

[Dresky]

From front view, Sam ain't good. But the profile is 100% him imo.

It would be great if someone could explain to me how to attach the pans to the backpack because the I couldn't find any leather string things. Pretty sure I did it totally wrong.

 

[Dresky]

There's a strap under the backpack's flap. You can attach the pans there.

 

[Fremen]

Okay ya, I'm missing that for sure.

 

[Fremen]

Wait, maybe I do have that but there was no way I could get the loops of the pans through it.

It's a tight fit. Took me a bit of time to run it through all the holes.

Hmmm, I may have to give it another go.

I didn’t want to push the strap through the pan holes because it looked too thick. I ended up threading some thin wire through the holes then made a loop which I stuffed into the backpack.
Were those sausages from another set? Cheers!

The wire is a good idea.

 

[FlyAndFight]

Great idea regarding the wire, SSM. I'll have to try that as well.

Thanks for that. [emoji846]
