Some questions before i spoil my uruk hai figures trying to pose them
battlecry uruk hai : Can the 2 arms be met in the middle of the body so that he can hold his pike parallel to the body?
xbow uruk hai : Is his armour suppose to be so shiny ?
CU uruk hai : the shield that he holds is not movie accurate right? Where can i get the accurate one
Full Version: Questions on Toy Biz Uruk Hai Figures
FOR PIKEMAN...NOT SURE ABT THAT..BUT IF U lean ur figure against his pike...the pike will eventually be deformed. the pikes r made of jelly.
xbow is just a LITTLE glossy black not shiny.
for cu, i dont know how accurate u want. but its accurate enough for me. u mean the gimli 2 pack uruk or the cu uruk? these 2 quite similar

It's some kind of red triangular marking.
If i am no wrong, the uruk hais at amon hen had shields with the hand print.
Cirith Ungul... Different prints?
You know where there's templates? I want the hand print
Paiseh im just a small LOTR fan, don't really know every single detail , but when it comes to star wars . heh heh
I remember very long time ago there was a shop in Far East Plaza that help ppl customise their Uruk Hai for a price, I think it was TFH or some other shops. I am still quite curious how the end product looks like, anyone got photos to share?
i got it now. CU uruk works for mordor...therefore that eye sign. not a red triangle. its the eye.
the white hand is uruks that work for saruman. solved
how good can their custom works be? they must be charging a lot. not worth it.

Ya, I think u are right! I saw that advertisement but never saw their finished work. Now as I recall, they were charging ppl quite high but not sure abt their quality. Just want to see if anyone here had engaged their service during that time
Ok one more question : How do i make my BC Uruk's pike less limp? I want it standing straight

you can PM Brutalizer. I think he had them custom 1 or 2 of his Uruks.
e3lipse, to make your pike stiff, you need to stroke it a few times.

so you mean ur price of 30 bucks for customisin a kotd is mre worth it? n better?? b humble a bit leh!
how do u know how much i think when i mean a lot? the way u put it, u dont sound like u dont mean to sound offending. or is it just me? or do i just smell a flame war. whatever it is, u sound kinda rude.
no, no flame war..offending? well, if u take it d hard way.. 
juz dat i smell arrogance in ur post datz al...

sorry just to make my stand and not to argue or start flaming just because u sound kinda rude. if u think $30 is kinda expensive. hows how i calculate.
I dont know if u customise yourself a not. For ppl who dont custom, 30 is not ex. here goes.
I use gamesworkshop paints which r very good paints. Try asking the pros too. Each bottle cost 6 bucks. For KOTD. 6-7 colours are used. that will be $36. I wont be counting the brushes in cause its little a lame. workmanship maybe worth $20 for painting n a little mod to the figure. For non customisers, few will know that its quite tedious to paint a figure properly. its not just painting the whole piece one shade of red thats it. its more than that n the techniques. all these takes time. after everything is done, i use a paint sealer spray(cost $30) to protect the paints from future peels.
if u consider all these factors ...30 bucks is consider ok price to me. and trust me, the shop charge much much more. I am done with explaining. by the way...my thread already close shop.

of course i would be glad if all this is just a misunderstanding. iwouldnt wana argue over collections n stuffs or customising in here. i just feel silly ...like someone here. and...i am not arrogant. if u r offended by the "not worth it". sorry if i didnt stand in the view on non customisers. cause for ppl who does customs...50 bucks n above(which i believe the shop charge a minimum of it) and easily get us like at least 2 loose figures to play n custom with.
peace
