Ok, ordered the slim versions of Pip and Merry. Now need the same for Frodo and Sam.
Asmus Toys: Merry and Pippin Lord of the Rings 1/6 Scale Figures

Help Support Collector Freaks Forum:
I'd like to see the stands. Are they just half-sized standard stands? Personally I'd like some small waist-grabbers for my hobbits. (With their packs on, the hobbits tend to be a little top-heavy so crotch-cradle stands might not be the best option. Because, despite how big their feet are, if you don't balance them juuust right, they are prone to toppling over. Stands would be welcome.
Hopefully, Asmus includes them with the head upgrades or sells them individually.

I need 4 hobbit siezed stands and actually probably more as I could do with a shorter stand for x23 as well
What is missing from the slim version of Merry and Pippin that was included in the original release?
Does anybody make a "dynamic" stand for smaller figures with the bendable armature?
The Lothlorien cloaks are missing and elven daggers and belts I think. They seem to have their pipes and bags. So the slim set is as 'thick' if not 'thicker' than the original with the replacement cloaks, additional hands and with the inclusion of stands
They don't seem to have any daggers. Or am I missing that? they're not mentioned on Asmus' order page, but maybe they are on Facebook. (There seems to be a bit more info on Facebook.)
I think they might be missing one pair of hands, knives, belts and elven cloaks. Maybe the pipes too. Regardless the price is real good in my opinion. I can get the pair for less than a barebones Sideshow Star Wars figure.

Preordered both Merry and Pippin slim edition. Don't want to miss out with the edition size being just 500!

Yep! The first run had an Edition size of 1500, and disappeared quickly, so these will go fast I think.
Merry looks great in that pic posted above. I definitely like that sculpt better than the original "scowl".
With the cloaks and new heads, it was a blessing in disguise to wait (and miss) on the first wave.
Can't wait for Frodo and Sam.

I think I prefer v.1 Pippin and v.2 Merry. But I'll have to wait until I have them in hand to be sure.
I might prefer the v1 Pippin *sculpt*. Not the paint though. The paint on the first round was pretty sub-par.
I definitely think the newer Merry is better though. Not that the Pippin is bad, it's just more extreme than I would've gone for personally.

Very true. Though the v.1 pair I got wasn't quite so rosy-cheeked as a lot of the pictures I've seen, so the paint work on mine was fairly solid. I mean, they've still got somewhat rosy cheeks, but not nearly as bad as others.
