Next Diorama?

[GondorGirl]

Again I state, I made my comment on a personal note. It's perfectly fine if you don't agree with me . I just stated the main reasons for me why not to buy the majority of the diorama's that are out there. For instance the diorama of Helm's Deep would definitely have been "mine" when Aragorn's expression was different. Same goes with the Golden Hall diorama.

I too hope they continue to make diorama's because I really love the idea of diorama's in general. It's like owning a scene of the movie. I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens.

Well I certainly agree with this!

On a personal note:

1st dio:
You can hardly call the Frodo-Gollum diorama a diorama if you ask me. The likeness of Frodo was the best they ever created, oddly enough.

2nd dio:
Aragorn's likeness is definitely there, but the lack of expression on his face ruined this otherwise very nice dio for me.

3rd dio:
A Wormtongue looking like Michael Jackson on a bad day and a Theoden that doesn't look like Theoden... again an easy pass.

4th dio:
Eagle vs FellBeast: even though the dio is pretty huge, I bought it and I love it. The reason I think that it's still up for second change is that the dimensions are a bit too much for people to properly put it on show.

5th dio:
Gandalf looks like a LEGO puppet and is too cartoonish to be taken seriously. I really appreciate that SS had the guts to create this dio because it looks very good, apart from the tiny Gandalf. But of course, at that scale you couldn't expect anything else.

So I don't think it's a matter of people not wanting dio's of Lord of the Rings. It's more a problem with other things (at least, that's my opinion).

Oh and I might have mixed up the order the dio's came out, but you get my point.

How about Gandalf vs Saruman?

How about Gandalf vs Saruman?

I saw a picture of that one today and I immediately thought: Oh right, I forgot that one!

I think they did a great job with that one, to be honest. I have yet to see it in person, though.

I only collect the dio's so if they do stop them then that's my Sideshow spending days over! Unless they re-team with Weta for the Hobbit!!
But of course this is all silly talk cos they're not going to stop the dio's for a while!

Excellent dio for the size and great likeness (imo). The Treachery of Saruman is waaaaay more than just a dio! What a centre piece. Would love to see Elrond looking surprised at the appearance of Sam, Merry and Pip when talking to Frodo
