The helmet is interesting, as metallic gold replaces bronze in some areas. This blend of colours looks wonderful, but I wish the moulded armour panels from the 2012 helmet had been retained for the new one. Also, the helmets are interchangeable, despite the bushy beards underneath. With the hobbits, it feels like the old torsos are overcomplicated, while the new ones are a bit oversimplified. I prefer the look of the old Frodo and Pippin torsos, and the new Sam and Merry ones, but they are overall very similar. I like the new dual molded hobbit feet. Merry and Frodo swapping hair is a bit strange, I think I’ll give them both the nougat hair, as it is more movie accurate. The new and old hobbit heads are both great, I’ll use each depending on the circumstance. I like how the new ones are more happy and goofy, while the old ones capture the actor’s likenesses a bit better.

The discrepancy comes from an additional six statue minifigures, which I think count even if they’re part of the structure, since they’re complete figures. Five lines the tower, and the sixth holds Narsil. Beorn \ Cave Troll \ Gollum \ Great Eagle \ Gwaihir \ King of the Dead \ Mirkwood Spider \ Shelob \ Soldier of the Dead \ Smaug \ Treebeard \ Warg

Monkie Kid 80054 Megapolis City: 10 Reasons That This Middle-Aged AFOL Is Excited! November 7, 2023Sam is depicted with a dark tan torso, printed with a coat over a tan shirt, while he has suspenders holing up his dark brown trousers. He wears a sand-blue cloak. His hairpiece is dark orange. He has a happy smile, a raised right eyebrow and a more concerned frown. The rear printing on his coat adds detail, with creases and the rear tie. The figure is presented with a frying pan to carry. If there’s one Lord of the Rings set to rule them all, Rivendell is certainly the One! The most ambitious set in the series to date, Rivendell captures the scene and the formation of the legendary Fellowship of the Ring. Members of the group seek to find the Ring of Power and destroy it. Relive the moment all of the key players gather for the first time at the scenic Elvish sanctuary.

Elrond is a magnificent new figure: he has a dark red torso and skirt element, with an intricate design printed on the front, incorporating golden thread on the red gown, I wonder if the light-coloured print underneath is intended ot be white, in which case, it is possibly suffering from the fate of printing area of light ink over darker plastic. The printing continues smoothly from the torso to the lower part, although there is no rear printing on the skirt element. Elrond has a silver circlet printed on his forehead. He and has a slight smile on one side, and a slightly disapproving one expression on the other. Again, he has the same reddish-brown hair we have seen several times in this set so far. As with Gandalf, there is provision for Elrond to sit down, using an appropriately printed 2×2 curved slope, with some plates. The dual-moulded legs for the Hobbits was an obvious update and probably the most significant of the positive changes. Similarly, the use of appropriately printed skirt pieces for Gandalf and Elrond also makes much sense and works well, particularly since the more limited functionality is overcome by the very cleverly created seated versions of both characters.

I would have thought yellow head fans would like the newer ones, as they have removed the flesh printing from the torsos (unlike the older ones). " While we're on the subject of hair, the single style of elf hair piece seems very limiting. Dual-moulded may be an improvement but the top of the head looks oddly "bulbous" from some views in this new version. Given the number of elves, they had the opportunity to do more with this.
