I was pleasantly surprised by this one, it isn't perfect but I like it quite a bit; esp until we get a PF.

 

[Fremen]

I love Boromir.

 

[lorcs]

THANKS VERY MUCH LOTRFan

 

[DiFabio]

This Boromir blows...


I hope they make a PF of him. It's the only LOTR PF I'd buy.

It's been dead for over 1 1/2 years now.

It's a great bust...Low ES too

For me the likeness is king...and most of all in bust form. I have not seen a pic of the Boromir bust with a good likeness yet IMHO. But if likeness is not an issue for you then I would say go for it...it's quite a nice piece.

in the video https://www.sideshowtoy.com/?page_id=4489&sku=2000991&ref=license-home 2010 comic con panel video the boromir statue at the start is not a maquette it is a premium format i think look at the base none of the maquettes have this only the pf s do

 

[lorcs]

everyone is saying this is a maquette

Probably because it is a maquette. Originally, the maquettes were to feature a "Lord of the Rings" nameplate on the base which thankfully, SS decided against. This might help :

does anyone have any idea what the exclusive on the boromir maquette might be

 

[FrodoEyes]

Do they all have to have exclusives??

If so, maybe blowing the horn of Gondor?

Boromir is the only one we don't know about yet. Even though we don't know what the Arwen excl. is, we do know there will be one based on the conceptual drawing showing two heads.

As for Boromir, we have never seen anything other than this one conceptual drawing....but because Boromir features the most elaborate base to date, I tend to believe there won't be an excl.

What more could anyone ask for anyway?

Yet another winner in this maqurette line .

I agree. This is the most anticipated of the 1st six maquettes for me, and will most likely be the only "Gondorian" Boromir we'll ever see produced.

I could still see them swithing out one of the arms for one holding up the horn or maybe switching the flag arm for an arm with the shield.

Two nice ideas there superdoug , don't think I'd like to lose the flag though.


The horn or the shield, should they be an option, would have to swap out with the flag arm in both cases.
That is, if we take the Boromir LSB and movie as a guide to which hand holds the horn.
But the maquettes are not screen caps so he could hold the horn in his right hand in that case.

That could be quite nice as an option indeed.

If they take out the flag arm for the horn you'd need another head sculpt too so it would face the horn. That right there makes me think it'll either be a flag arm swap for the shield or the sword arm swap for the horn. But these are just guesses.

I wonder if either this one or the Arwen one will bee an SDCC exclusive. If that's the case for Boromir then I don't think they'll be anything that switches out.
