Bad pose.you guys are so right he would look better with his cane,would look more like a true Bilbo Baggins.not Bilbo the warrior.

Bad pose ? I think he looks awkward in a very 'gentlehobbit' way. He looks as much a 'warrior' as Grima Wormtounge did with his handkerchief!

Great depiction of Bilbo on his adventure

 

[The Josh]

Can't say I agree with any of that. This is a great statue.

This represents a moment in his adventure and life where he leaves his comfy, cosy lifestyle behind and starts to have his adventure.

I'm sure there'll be more Bilbo statues

Personally i'd like one of him with Gollum during the riddling scene in Gollums cave.

I think this is exactly what it should be, young Bilbo out on adventures and facing danger.

If you want old, retired Bilbo, well, there's the SSW LOTR statue which covers that.

Hooray for Warrior Bilbo!

I gotta admit that in those bottom 3 photos Gandalf looks like he had too much to drink and he's leaning on his staff to stay up...his hat being off a bit makes him look that way too...I might put a couple of toppled 1/6 scaled bottles on the base, LOL

LOL Adolfo Perhaps the old man did reward himself some nice cold drinks!

And deservedly so!...Good for him!

'A Wishard (hic). Arrivesh preeee....preeeee..siley...(hic) when he means to, ADOLFO'

This looks really good, but I don't think I can justify $200 for this when Sideshow has 2 hobbits and the large base for $275.

Sure you can, it's Gandalf! And he IS bigger than a hobbit, after all....

Yep, bigger, dual poseable, new staff and no fancy base to distract from a great sculpt. Plus the price is in line with similar sized/ scaled items from other companies

This is the Bilbo thread, you know

Am I the only one who thinks his face and pose is not-that-good? I would rather like to have a normal, standing Bilbo with a walking stick, pretty much like these;
