Man pizza that base looks so good! Nice pose too
That's got to be the Weta Isildur statue base and it indeed looks good!

Mine finally arrived ! Looks awesome.
I see what everyone is saying about hadhafang being undersized slightly.
Does anyone think Asmus will somehow release the right sized version?

If enough people complain about it they might [emoji1787] I remember the sword sizing issue was brought up upon the announcement they were making him but they didn't fix it sadly.

Great figure. VERY nice sculpt, beautiful outfit. Yes it may be improved (bigger sword, bigger cape, better neck joint) but I can't stop looking at him. Now I want a couple of elven infantry! And Gil Galad! Please Asmus!

Just recieved my Elrond directly from Asmus. Such a beautiful figure and it's so much better in person. That said, the sword and sheath are not fit for purpose. The molding of the diecast is too thick at the end so it won't fit into the sheath without splitting the plastic as you can see in the second photo.
I know a few people have mentioned this already but it's worth having a visual of it as I assume the majority of the figures will have this same issue.
I'm certain the the sword and sheath that came with Arwen did not have this problem (they are from the same mold) and it was definitely sharp and pointy at the end.

I do NOT want to see the accessories included with those.
Thanks to Phicen we can actually kitbash him.
Sheepishly I will admit that this tho has been sitting for a couple months or whatever until I had time and desire to customize it and my plan was to take an inigo agent smith it hit toys head and mod it.
Today I got around to taking the head out and I?m still trying to pick my jaw up off of the floor. I don?t understand why I wasn?t aware about how amazing the head is the sculpt is but far the best weaving we have ever seen. Great paint too. A bit of paint enhancements to tweak the likeness even a bit more (already great) and hair replacement the bottom for sure, the top I?m still undecided about but this thing is a home run I think asmus has a chance to be a serious contender among the best. Happy to see this line come so far. Asmus keep improving on the main characters even if you have already released them. You keep getting better and better

Whoa... that IS high praise.
I need to see some close ups of this sculpt now. Agent Smith, anyone?

Looks incredible! Great job. Did you do anything else to the head sculpt? I am not seeing the gap between the head and neck.
Thanks man! I stuffed the neck a bit wirh gauze to minimize that nasty gap. Did help a bit.
Paint tweaks focused mostly on bringing out likeness with the correct treatment on the lips and eyebrow shape
