Yeah, maybe not that quiet but he did have wounds similar to this.

I know the hooves had nails ran through them but to be honest, I never paid any attention to their bodies.

Re: Ringwraith on Steed PF
Satisfied?
I gotta admit I am gettin' a little giddy about this piece. I was hoping they'd pull it off this well. I see nothing wrong with the pose at all and I personally love the EX. To me, it appears as if he's pointing down ominously and threateningly toward an enemy on the ground before running them through with his tainted blade. Granted I dig the reg pointy hand also, and will be pullin' the ol' switcheroo when I get a wild hair up my ass. The horse does appear to be slightly too small, but it doesn't bother me much at all.
I've seen more.Those are many smiley faces.

I wonder if the armor underneath the cloak is sculpted just like Morgul Lord?

Splendid! Did you cheat and right click on it, or did you already know?
Probably. Would be nice. Then we could alter the lay of his cloak to our liking.

My wife wants this big time. She's not a Sideshow collector but she sure is a huge Tolkien fan. When she saw this she said "get it..get it..if you can buy all that Marvel ____ you can get this for me".

Come on bro, that's an easy one. No right click needed when Kelly LeBrock is in the house

Re: Ringwraith on Steed PF
Regarding the size of the Horse, I think the problem may not be the actual size of the horse but the "rider" per say...
In the movies, the Ringwraith's actors in full garb stood about 7ft 3-ish, but the riders used for the horseback scenes were not only shorter actors but did not have the hollow-head&shoulder-riser getup on (for obvious safety reasons). So you have a disparity from a 5' '6" "rider" to a 7' 3" "standing" wraith.
So, it looks like sideshow went with a "normal" sized horse. (Dont recall if the steeds were any larger than a typical horse in the books or not...
), and a "standing-scale" wraith. Hence the slightly "pony-ish" look of the horse. But its technically not wrong....
I still think it looks good regardless if they change it or not.

Re: Ringwraith on Steed PF
Hmmm... so then technically, the PF is accurate and the movie imagery is wrong. Something to think about for anyone on the fence about size...

Re: Ringwraith on Steed PF
The thing is that horses of Rohan (even regular horses) were supposed to be "special" in a way. They're the horse lords of Middle-Earth while regular as I said they're not "regular". Then you factor in they were taken to Mordor that's why the imagery comes off as it does and IMO is pulled off in both the SSW statue and this.

Re: Ringwraith on Steed PF
The extra robe hanging down is not helping everyone's perspective and it's making the horse seem small in comparison. I think the rider and horse are just fine.

Re: Ringwraith on Steed PF
Agreed, if you have several pieces you consider them being highlights, you probably don't HAVE a centerpiece.
Now back to the horse size debate......
"Centerpiece" does refer to one thing. A centerpiece of a collection would by definition be one collectible. A centerpiece of a home or room however could be a group of things. "The centerpiece to Josh's basement is the shelf of LOTR PF's," or something to that effect.
