Sideshow is Evil!

[ourdramaqueen]

Evil I tell you! Look at the preview of their second Premium Format figure - it's Frodo!!!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah I need to know what he looks like!!! And hopefully it's not very good likeness so I can put this out of my mind!

Let's see. They took 10 days from the Aragorn 12" preview to the opening of pre-orders, but they did put up another picture a few days after the first preview. So here's hoping... *flails*

They are Evel indeed! Ru wanna see Fro too! Drums heels on floor! Pleeeeeese!!

[ourdramaqueen.livejournal.com]

Either he looks so bad they didn't dare ot reveal his face, or so good that they thought they needed to teas us!

[ismenin.livejournal.com]

Capturing the beauty of that face is one big task, Chris. I wonder if they've done it? :D

[ourdramaqueen.livejournal.com]

Me too!!! Did you notice the cleft on his chin?! OMFG! Hopefully soon... I'll be sure to link/post the picture(s) as soon as!

[ismenin.livejournal.com]

Let us, indeed, fervently hope they caught the glory that is FroLijah. Sigh. :D

Yeah right like you'll stop yourself even if the likeness isn't good, like you couldn't stop yourself with the Aragorn one because of all the great accessories LOL

[ourdramaqueen.livejournal.com]

Oh no - this one is not from the 12" series like Aragorn, but the Premium Format series - the ones that are somewhere around $300... so in this case I will insist of a good likeness! Besides if this one isn't good, I can still hope for a better (and cheaper) Frodo figure from the 12" series. ;)

[serenitysangel.livejournal.com]

Ah I mis-understood or mis-read! Yikes $300?? They are evil indeed! And I'll be forever your reminder of what you buy now you have to consider if you are going to be immigrating ;) (I know still along way off, but always something to bare in mind *hugs*)

[ourdramaqueen.livejournal.com]

Yes, in their press release about the new Premium Format figures line, they mentioned a price range from something like $265 to 365 - not sure of the exact numbers, but in this range. *gulp* Since the hobbits should be smaller, in proportion to the other figures, I hope they're at the bottom of that price range!

And yes, do nag me please - I should be able to restrain myself in most cases, but sometimes it sure won't hurt to have someone else remind me! *hugs back*

[serenitysangel.livejournal.com]

It's really unfair to charge that much, there are a lot of die-hard fans out there who can't ever afford those insane prices! They could make more of them and sell them cheaper and still make a profit!

I'll try and be your voice of reason ;)

[ourdramaqueen.livejournal.com]

Yes... but I guess they just want to carry some more exclusive items, not run-of-the mill.

Thanks! *giggle*

[serenitysangel.livejournal.com]

Yes, but still not fair to all the fans who can't afford them and really want them.

[ourdramaqueen.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know... :(

You guys aren't going to believe this but I haven't seen any of the LOTR Movies yet and I have a very good excuse as to why.

[lastevens.livejournal.com]

Okay here's what happened When the first LOTR movie came out I had just gotten out of the hospital after having major surgery and I was on heavy painkillers my friends in their great wisdom all decided that we would go to a midnight showing of LOTR but because of the painkillers I fell asleep during the movie. I didn't mean to but I did.

I really wanted to see them maybe I should download them so I can finally see them

[ourdramaqueen.livejournal.com]

Make sure you'll get the Extended versions though - you'll get many more character moments!

[lastevens.livejournal.com]

Oh don't worry I plan to do that but instead of downloading I'm just gonna go on ahead and buy them.

[foxykc.livejournal.com]

Isn't that the truth.

*poised to buy Frodo*

Except I don't know where to have him shipped!!!!!

[ourdramaqueen.livejournal.com]

Well I hope soon you will know! And even if not, I'm sure you can upate the address later? It won't ship before the 3rd quarter anyway.

[lilithlotr.livejournal.com]

I guess I'm lucky. I really dislike Sideshow, and now that WETA isn't working with them anymore - I'm not even tempted.

[ourdramaqueen.livejournal.com]

LOL yes you are. Well we'll see if I'll still be tempted when they reveal his face...

[ourdramaqueen.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah!

Frodo's pretty face hardening into plastic.

Um... that somehow is a disturbing image to contemplate... ;)
