Hot Toys on the left, third party on the right. There is a difference in tone, quality and wrinkles in the third party, but... I think I'm keeping it and selling my HT. I tried ironing the robes a bit and they do look better. Also, I haven't solved the boot peg issue yet, but it will be fine...

I keep fiddling with this guy... I realised I could turn the "skirt" backwards, which looks way more accurate. I gave the armour some dark washes to get a more accurate tone as well, and tried to give the belt a more natural flow. Definitely a great figure which needs a lot of work to show its...

The day the Strength of Men failed...

How's that an improvement from my V1?

I agree with you that some weathering would be nice. I've also thought of somehow darkening his vest and inner robes, as they may be a bit too white - a more creamy white would fit better with the rest of the outfit - maybe a bath in some coffee diluted in water. I'm quite scared to ruin the...

I ordered mine with the first re-stock and I just got an email from Asmus saying my order is being shipped. Let's see how long it takes for it to reach Spain... Fingers crossed! Edit: I just got a notification from FEDEX saying it will arrive in a week. Can't wait!

It is back in stock, I just ordered mine after today's mini heart attack.

I can't believe I managed to score this and for a ridiculous price! I'm so happy to finally have Éowyn in my collection. I 3D-printed a new accurate helmet and I repainted some parts of her armour and belt. What do you guys think?

I finally got mine. I got the version with brown/green eyes so I repainted them blue. I also painted the buttons in his shirt off-white, fixed his belt and gave him a custom Elven cloak, I think he looks the part now. I tried to go for his TTT look here.

Thanks for sharing, DakRen. I've always thought the Prologue Elven Warrior was one of the best designs from the whole LOTR trilogy and never doubted for a second that I would get this figure - I knew that it would need some work to truly shine though. The shiny blue cape was completely...
