FRODO & SAMWISE 1/6th

[Indiana Fett]

I still need one from EC. He was looking to see if he had another. Got to get rid of that gold chain on Frodo too.

I'll get on it, bro!

Hey E.C., What would a guy like me need to do to get on that chain-train too?

 

[Karaduin]

Yep, have to agree EC's ring is a v.cheap & worthwhile upgrade. Thanks again for sending mine all the way to the UK!

 

[OSCORP]

Probably gonna get sam here over the holidays

Never have enough ass kicking Frodo pics.

The blade glows blue when Orcs are near (few old ones)

The Sam and Frodo gay thing was so 2004

 

[OSCORP]

Yeah i remember that.. Damn alcohol.

The Frodo 1/6 has the kind of face that you'd take great pleasure in punching really hard. I'd be interested in seeing a good re-sculpt. I'm sure there might be a good example burried somewhere in this 300+ page thread.

That's just crazy talk. No matter how good a sculpt is there will always be someone who doesn't like it.

Would you have preferred more of a pucker like Jedi Luke?

The faces on these actually are pretty good. I wish they did this good a job on some of the Star Wars pieces. Just got kinda burned out on LOTR's.

SS/HT Frodo is one of my favorite figures of the year.

 

[Blu Falcon]

Well, I've seen what can be done with the other figures as far as resculpting and repainting (i.e. Aragorn and Legolas), so I'm pretty sure that in the right hands these can be made to look even more like Elijah Wood and Sean Astin. This is just my unqualified opinion of course. I have yet to see the Sam and Frodo 1/6 in person, so it could be the lighting conditions under which these photos were taken. The Aragorn sculpt looks much better in person under natural light than any internet photo I've seen of him. But then again, from web images, the Gandalf and Boromir 1/6 look near perfect.

Please take my opinions with a grain of salt. My personal thoughts aren't worth the crap paper I use to wipe myself with.

A buddy of mine has these I think he might have sold off a few of the LOTR pieces though but in person the Frodo and Sam faces are a better quality then past 12 inch figures kinda like the Clone Wars Kenobi. I don't know if it has to do with Hot Toys doing them or what but it is a vast improvement in paint apps.

If you're looking for Frodo to look like Elijah, the production figure ruined that. The sculpt is a great representation of him, but the eyes are painted poorly in capturing him, they were perfect on the prototype but the production was a let down. If you photograph him so the eyes are in shadow, you can totally see it but most of the time, if the eyes are showing, the likeness fades a bit. Sam pretty much looks like Sean Astin all the time in hand, but Frodo's paint kills the Elijah in him.

I've got these two coming for christmas thought it was about time to pick them up well for my parents to anyway.

Gonna disagree here. I think nothing was ruined at all in this figure. Again it didn't come out like the proto but welcome to SS 1/6 collecting. I was worried when we saw initial pics, but after seeing some in hand shots i was at relief. And even more so in hand. I happen to like the electric blue of the eyes, while it don't have that HT realism it don't take MUCH away. I very much see E.W. in the figure, not like the first proto shots but then again that's SS. I am very happy with this figure and i like to think i am hard to please.

I still give this figure a 9/10 (only thing stopping a 10 is .5 for loose joints and .5 for a little bit off from proto) I like Frodo more than Gandalf, there i said it!!






Anyone thinking of getting this figure should think no longer!

Fair enough.

I'll be getting both Hobbits eventually anyway. What other choice do we have besides "Afrodo"?

 

[Darklord Dave]

I would also disagree that the production paint killed the likeness. These 2 and Gandalf have the best paint aps and best likenesses of any recent SSC figures.

Heya, Mr. Kotter!
