My Kinderegg figure sets came today......they're AMAZING...the detail
for being so teeny...
I couldn't decide, so I have both the Fellowship set AND the Two
Towers set.
The fellowship set consists of (and I have them set out in front of
me, which is making it hard to type)
*Legolas in a running position with rocky/grassy base, complete with
quiver, arrows, white knives and bow (they're all stuck on his back,
but you can make out the individual arrows and knives).
Arwen--no "accessories".
Galadriel, with a silver pitcher in one hand, who also came with
a "birdbath" (someone tell me the correct name if there is one) stand with her silvery bowl on top--the stand has leaves
and vines entwined on one side and an intracate "weaved stone"
pattern on the other.
Frodo, who fits on a rock/grass base, his cloak detailed
with creases. He has one hand on his chest and the other arm raised,
in the raised arm he holds the Ring, which is
tiny but still has a
hole in the center!
(MY) Sam, who is in a seated position so that he can be placed on his
base, a stump with a circle of rocks for a campfire in front of it,
and on the fire is THE FRYING PAN
, with what looks like a couple
of sausages on it.
Gandalf the Grey, staff in one hand and the other hand balled in a
fist (as if shaking his fist at the Doors of Durin---or the "Fool of a Took!"? ) with Glamdring sheathed at his side.
Boromir, also with sheathed sword, sheild on his back, and the
wristbands on. In one hand he has raised the Horn of Gondor.
Strider, also with sheathed sword, one hand on the pommel and the
other on the shank, with a sleeping roll and a couple of other things
I can't make out on his back.
Gimli, leaning on his axe: you can see the detail in his belt buckle
and the braids in his beard (all the figures have awesome detail
lines).
Lastly but most certainly not leastly, Merry and
Pippin. Pippin, who has his hood on over his head (you can tell
it's him 'cause of the green scarf that hangs down his front) is in a
squatting position, and Merry, who has on his green waistcoat and
yellow vest, is in a seated position so that he fits on Pippin's
shoulders. (Somehow I'm thinking this should have been the other way
around, but that's me.
Sadly, Mr. Merry
came with his head broken off!
I was fortunately able to glue it
back on in the right postition and it's drying nicely, but jeez!
He tends to be under appreciated as it is!
Oi...that was awfully long, so I will tell you about the Two Towers
set hopefully tomorrow.... ;p
