Those are my current thoughts with the sculpts right now too but the paint on the original release is just too tan/orangish especially when they are next to the rest of the fellowship.

If I could find a v1 Pippin, I'd grab him. Definitely like that sculpt more than new one as new one is a little extreme. Paint jobs can always be fixed.
I totally missed the new v2 sculpts. They are much more expressive and certainly comically exaggerated... and they may be more interesting and diverse on the shelf than the glum expressions of the early v1's.
Can't buy the prototype.
I agree. The v2s capture the characters better.
If Sideshow happens to be your retailer of choice, Merry and Pippin slims are now up. FYI.
(I don't see anything about stands, though. I'm curious if that may have been a mis-print/misunderstanding/mis-translation in their earlier note.)

Not sure what you meant by missed them, but they're still up for sale on Asmus' site. Still wish I had Pippin v1. Really think with a proper paint job it looks pretty good.
It made sense.... 6 days ago.

I have the same problem
But according to asmus it should be solved on 11th of October.
Any news? I thought these two were due out around now.

It's a sale group on Facebook. They are 109 shipped at BBTS so the same. Dunno how much Asmus was charging. I just picked up the expansions heads.

Capes look a bit thin. I'm not 100% happy with the likenesses, especially Pippin's, but its's the best we have for these characters. And yes, the V2s capture the characters better, so there's that. For a Chinese company, Asmus seems very invested in making better LOTR figures, so good on them, and good for us.
Are these partial rubber bodies - like, is there an ankle joint in there? I am a bit worried about longevity.
