FB Gandalf VS Balrog

[RoboDad]

Here is mine. I think it looks very good. Yes, you can still see the seams where the wings are attached, but I really don't see that as a huge drawback. When the piece is properly displayed, those seams will never be visible.

Excellent pics Robodad.

If anything, this looks more like it's in greyscale than bronze. Te FB treatment lessens the comic look that the GTG has over the colored version. Still, the FB treatment on this one doesn't make it leap out as well. I believe the GTG vs Balrog relief in FB stands out better from those people who took a stab at bronzing it.

Personally, I don't think all LOTR dio's are suited for FB.....but this one definitely is.

The FB lessens three areas I didn't care for in color:

1) The partially translucent mane, partially traditional polystone

2) The translucent whip

3) The cartoony sculpt on Gandalf, and the wonky over-sized sword.

I don't know how anyone can look at those pics from Robodad and not be impressed with this piece. Sideshow's Faux bronze treatment on this piece is leaps and bounds above their previous FB pieces. The others look spray painted gold with a black wash applied. # 46 out of 50 showed up today. It's the third FB piece (Battle above... and Dooku/Yoda) I've received from Sideshow and this one is easily the best. I'm not gonna even bother posting my pics....they don't come anywhere near the professional quality of Robodad's.

like it or not, it was a good way for ssc to get rid of 50 dust collectors.

Maybe they were actually just 50 of the original dio, but as they're not selling well they DID spray paint them to look faux?

yeah that's what i meant, they just took 50 of the reg versions and just painted them to get rid of them..

 

[BRFC]

Yep maybe they did, but it looks great so well done to all 50 who snagged one .
Maybe they'll release another 50 varients
