Man, what an amazing piece. I know like I haven't said this before Like many of you I've been waiting for this piece since the day it went up for sale which was Jan 21st 2004. We've had many push backs on this piece and been tempted by developmental pics, final sculpt pics, and pics of this piece at shows. Hell, it was only a couple months ago that I saw this piece at SDCC but I can tell you that having him along with seeing him again just totally makes me just jaw drop.
The detail in this piece is so well done all the little ingravings on his armor as well as the spikes are just freaking awesome! Even on his cape the detail done in it is beyond cool on top of that the way the mud is done is very very nice as well. The Ring is maybe the best touch of all the things done on this statue. It looks just like it came out of the Fires of Mt. Doom! The pose is very very freaking nice! As I said when the pics of this piece hit they captured that part of the movie, and what was in my head of what this piece might look like ever before we saw pics.
He is a heavy SOB! Probably the heaviest piece I personally own. He makes the CT look small in both of size and weight. I felt sorry for the poor Fed-Ex guy having to carry two of these up the hill to my house.
In the end I take my cap of to SSW for making this piece the ABSOLUTE BEST PIECE OF THE LOTR LINE!
