They also have statues of Bilbo, Isildur and Gollum with the ring on.

yes and I especially like the Isildur statue, with the orcs' arrows on his back.
the sculptor has captured very well the moment just before the ring slipped from Isildur's finger and sinking onto the riverbed.
but I don't quite like the Bilbo one, as the sculptor has captured the pose he was in while wearing the ring at his 111st birthday, this pose is too close to the non-ring-wearing Bilbo on Barrel statue....
here's the X'mas card I got from Sideshow, did you guys get it?
just saw this repainted WK bust over at freaks forum.
IMPRESSIVE!
IMPRESSIVE!
not bad at all, no i didnt get any card from ssw.

Can also get that guy to repaint my witchking statue? 
Like we've discussed before, we should get Alvin to do this additional value-added work to our SSW collections. 
Yeah, touch-up our statues and busts like the WK bust shown above!

| i still cant really figure out the balrog. is it that thing below the bridge in the centre of the pic? welcome obrother to sgc tolkien forum and of course the ssw club! would love to hear more from you. so where were you btw 15 sep till now? |
Thanks your guys here.
The reason why I just talked since Sep because I took time into ST web site and just found here this month
About Balrog on the bottom of MM, I am not sure about it and heared from web. But one thing you should notice is that bottom of MM is filled by red fire and it looks like "Balrog is here":)
I will try to take more pic for this env which maybe is most firm package by sideshow, they filled some foam into the middle and wrapped the whole with multiple plastic film, then put it into regular box. So hard to open it.

Chimes, cannot do that kind of 'touchups' leh...I don't have airbrush! Even though I have learnt airbrushing and masking at the academic level, I will not try to attempt it on a expensive bust!!! If I 'miss-cue' and spray/mask wrongly, it's a goner!!!! Too Risky!!!
You are so humble, Al.

Speaking of the SSW Isildur statue, I'm glad we're one of the few who got our hands on it.
ES only 500 worldwide.
Love the sculpting by Greg Tozer. The statue really "shines"!
Not humble, Chimes. I know my own limits and abilities. That guy who did the airbrushing is really an 'old-hand', and one can tell by how he visualises the 'ghostly' effect and airbrushes it. If I had like 10 of the same busts, I might just try it. Airbrushing requires constant practice to hone in the skills.
Just got a frodo statue, and I must say I love the eyeballs that are glistening, unlike the later offerings...earlier pieces were really well done!
Oh, and I really want a Bilbo statue with his ring on...

doesnt matter which figure wears the ring aint it?

not popular I guess. popularity of LOTR statues waning?
i think it's just that particular statue.
Not many people are interested in a statue with a dying pose. I bet the Haradrim statue would be a bit more higher if it was an action pose.
i concur... just my opinion that it doest attract me as much as other statues.
It is precisely the pose that has me pondering whether to buy it up to now...somehow, I feel that the dying pose is well, a little spastic!
Don't hammer me for saying so!!!

Haradrim is unique in it's dying pose. If every statue is always in their heroic pose, that's boring...
That's why SSW came up with Haradrim Soldier, the DYING POSE...
If you look at the Haradrim Soldier at different angles, he's indeed very unique...
Check out these pics taken from my very own Haradirm Soldier.

Unique indeed. I myself like the Haradrim Statue but I'm just stating what the majority thinks about it and why its price is dropping.
yeh if you are talking about pose, it's something refreshing.
but still most ppl prefer otherwise i guess so cant be helped.

i always like the front of the blade where they coloured it shiny red.... reminds me that the haradrim soldier had juz been killed.
I also like the 'bloody' sword... actually, if not for the awkward straight arm pose (the arm that is not holding the sword), I think the overall pose is ok...

)
This new Simply Toys @ Raffles Mrt, is at twice the size of the current place. Furthermore, it's very much spacious. More space for us to check our LOTR statues...
Anyway, it's opening for business next Monday.
