$250 for that?! Fuck no!

[ourdramaqueen]

Well in a way I'm quite relieved that I don't have to spend that amount of money... Here's hoping the 12" figure which I'm sure they'll release too will look better!

Sideshow realyl couldn't have fucked this up much more, could they?

I have never seen a really good rendition of Frodo, who is without doubt THE most beautiful member of the Fellowship bar none. It's criminal! Hell, my Kevin the Cannibal Doll looks more like Frodo!

[ourdramaqueen.livejournal.com]

Oh hell yes it does! HA! Now here's an idea... sic Kevin on whoever gave this the go-ahead... *cackle*

[trianne.livejournal.com]

Weta exec, in darkened office late at night, rubs eyes and reads emails that have flooded in. Pushes chair back and reaches for coffee.

It's handed to him. By Kevin...
*cue scary music*

For Weta, read "Sideshow"....

LOL I just wanted to say... we don' want Richard Taylor or Daniel Falconer to lose a hand! ;)

[trianne.livejournal.com]

Nooooooooo, not Richard and definitely not Daniel, he's so cute!

[ourdramaqueen.livejournal.com]

And a sweetheart too! He really was such a darling, coming out to chat with us even though he was busy!

You know that's true - it does look more like HP! In any case it doesn't look like Elijah at all.

The eyes are pretty good, the nose is not right (kinda swaybacked), the lips aren't quite right (too dainty), the chin isn't quite right (too pointed) ...

But the big thing, that no one ever gets right, are the cheekbones. None of them ever make the cheekbones prominent enough, and I wonder if they just won't work in a mold.

ugh

[ourdramaqueen.livejournal.com]

Looks more like Harry Potter than Frodo!

[trianne.livejournal.com]

It does!

[ourdramaqueen.livejournal.com]

*giggles at your icon*

[ourdramaqueen.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's so sad it's almost funny again!

[ismenin.livejournal.com]

Well, blow me! That THING should be wearing a badge, "I am NOT Frodo!" Abso-bloody-lutely tum-churningly awful. And, yes, I did go lie down, ODQ! Gonna try again in a mo. Just wanted to register my protest against the awfulness that SHOULD be Fro.

[ourdramaqueen.livejournal.com]

LOL I was wondering! Hope you managed to sleep later! *hugs*

And yeah... awful doesn't even cover it!

[serenitysangel.livejournal.com]

As Gollum would say: "Nasty hobbitses!"

That is gawdawful! I have to wonder whoever created the mould for that actual ever watched the movie or saw a pic of Elijah! 0_0. Doesn't bode well for the others in the series either!

[ourdramaqueen.livejournal.com]

It sure doesn't! Seems they can do creatures well (Lurtz which was the first figure in this series looked amazing) but not hobbits!

[serenitysangel.livejournal.com]

Not just hobbits.

[karadin.livejournal.com]

I am tempted to get out the Sculpy and see if I could do a better job!

(probably!) which is very very sad.

[ourdramaqueen.livejournal.com]

Me too!!!

[ismenin.livejournal.com]

It is now tomorrow - and, yes, it is STILL frighteningly awful. :(

[ourdramaqueen.livejournal.com]

*shudder*

[lips-and-rouge.livejournal.com]

We want Elijah!! Blue eyes and a protruding bottom lip does not an Elijah make. They will probably still make a sale though for people who are not hung up on the actors. For me Elijah will always be the image of Frodo

[ourdramaqueen.livejournal.com]

Sadly yes - but I hope the sales go slow!

[ladysunrope.livejournal.com]

I wonder though how many people have actually emailed the place and told them how awful this is?

And this is the one thing I would have bought

[ourdramaqueen.livejournal.com]

Yes... I really really would have loved a figure of Frodo. *sigh* I should go look for their feedback e-mail...

[foxykc.livejournal.com]

Are you sure there will be a 12 inch? I was horrified at the price.

[ourdramaqueen.livejournal.com]

Not sure, no, but I'd guess they'd have Frodo. We'll see.
