I finally built Sauron. He's awesome except for the shoulder attachments that kept falling off whenever you move his arms. It's a beautiful set. Not perfect, but good enough for the price point.I also preordered Gandalf, the Urukhai and Golum(for the reputed swords for Legolas). Sauron kept falling over, and it became a challenge to look for those shoulder pieces. Luckily, I have a storm collectibles flight stand that worked well with him. He's tall enough for it to work perfectly with him. and it comes with two sizes of clamps. the bigger one works perfectly with him.

I think that the next wave that makes most sense would be Arwen and Saruman, if you think about it there’s 1 villain for each hero (Frodo & Sméagol, Strider & Nazgûl, Gandalf & Sauron, Legolas & Uruk Hai and Gimli & Goblin) and this way Arwen would be a great opponent for the Nazgûl, Gandalf for Saruman and Aragorn / Elessar for Sauron. Just makes sense to me idk

Got waves 2 and 3 today. The biggest disappointment is the Nazgûl, since you can’t even give him a sword or move his arms up, legs doesn’t touch the ground, I mean it’s so stupid. Otherwise the figures are pretty good, but I surely don’t understand how they decide who gets which accessories. I mean, Nazgûl has three weapons, of which he can properly hold one, at the same time Legolas doesn’t even have extra hands or knives. Gimli has two open palms, but Aragorn don’t have a second gripping arm. These issues are really frustrating and displeasing, but overall the figures are okay.
@erkscollectibles
2 жыл бұрын
Definitely fair criticisms, the nazgul has terrible articulations and the robes are way too thick. The knives for Legolas are coming with the Gollum figure for some reason, so there is a way to get them. I would love to see more hands in future waves as well

Awesome review 100% the elven cloak wave might be a save for like the next wave like Two towers etc… Massive difference between Diamond Select and Toybiz (Diamond Select is a bit sturdy figure and risky unlike Toybiz you can easily allow the figure to hold there weapons unlike (Diamond select) excluding Gimli (Diamond Select version) but with Toybiz complete accessories unlike Diamond Select you gotta wait if they do another figure also BST AXN is also doing Lotr so far there’s only Gandalf the grey 5inch and upcoming is Legolas, Aragorn

Good question! Diamond Select has been really vague on this, as their promo images don't show any BAF pieces on any of the LOTR figures. What we do know is that you only need waves 1-3 to complete Sauron, so I'm guessing it's mislabeled.
