New Lord of the Rings action figures for 2005 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I don't know why you guys all love these action figures... maybe it's lack of seeing other's works *ducks under table waiting for the stone throwing to stop*, but I have seen much better work.

The paint job on these is flat and ugly which takes the realness out of them. I've seen much better handpainted LotR miniatures from Games-workshop painted by the members of my forum. And these are even much smaller than those action figures.

A few examples:
Gollum (extreme close up, remember how small it is)

Gimli

High Elves

Aragorn

Eowyn

Tree beard (Here you can see the size nicely)

Gandalf

See?
