ToyBiz LOTR Trilogy Collection

[Jetfire]

Hey,
Are there any TF fan's who are also LOTR collectors on these forums?

Here are some pics of my collection. I have just about every ToyBiz Half-Moon box release there is, around 70 in total and only know of 1 rare UK one I have never actually seen anywhere that completes 4 UK releases that I have - Pippin in Armor, Haradrim and King of Gondor Aragorn.

Rarest figure I have is probably a MISB Helm's Deep Gimli I plan on grading.

Other noteworthy items are the Peter Jackson Hobbit figure, Gondorian Swordsman, Fellbeast, TTT Dual Packs, a ROTK Triple Pack and 4 of the deluxe horse series all MISB.

nice collection looks like what mine did b4 i sold most of them off to fund transformer collecting, i also had a helm's deep gimli but sold him off for a pretty penny.still have some figures left will post you a pic after i move into my new house, welcome to the forum btw

Very nice Jetfire! I have that sideshow Jabba. Great figure but I just wish I could find his throne and the Salacious Crumb pack cheap.
Oh and a nice green Twi'lek girl to go along with them would be nice if they ever made one.

Hi DD,
Yes the throne is soldout from Sideshow and if you can find one, then it costs a packet to send. I found one boxed on ebay from the UK, and was quoted $350 for postage :eek:

The Salacious Crumb pack is on ebay for around $80, but really I think I would want the throne to go with those guys. I'm thinking of a getting a Bib Fortuna though to stand beside him in scale.

[TheDirtyDigger]

Yeah I'd definitely only get the Crumb pack if I had the throne first.

Have you seen the Gentle Giant statue? Comes with the throne and green girly figure. I've never actually checked the size on this baby though.

EDIT: Ok just checked the size and it's 21 inches long so I'd say he's the same size as the Sideshow one.

Hey thanks for the heads up, I have'nt seen that before..

Looks like Jabbas lost a few pounds there over the Sideshow version.

The Sideshow throne is 29" and Jabba is 20" Long, so would fit with half an inch to spare with the GG throne

[TheDirtyDigger]

I have a feeling the GG one is a complete statue i.e. Jabba can't be taken off it.

Oh well, maybe I'll just airbrush a piece of limestone :P

I picked up a few of these figures when they came out - they were surpisingly disappointing in terms of playability, even though they are well crafted. They have good articulation, sculpting etc... but there are just certain things that irk me when I play with them. A lot of their accessories aren't secured well and are prone to falling off easily, including weapons (no Kung Fu Grip in Middle Earth?), capes, helmets etc. The paint on my Éomer's sword has chipped severely from all the times I've drawn it in and out of its sheath (I'm also not a fan of his screaming mouth - I prefer a neutral face). Éowyn's grip on the other hand is way too strong. I have no idea how the designers expect Elrond or RotK Aragorn (w/ Elessar)'s capes to stay on... Aragorn has two puny pegs that don't dig in properly and Elrond's cape has like... nothing. <sigh> And Frodo has really poor articulation.

I was quite disappointed with this line, especially because I got into Toy Biz figures through their Marvel toys which I generally find more fun to play with.

Well fair enough, but I don't really play with these toys, I just collect them. I like the detail on them and how they are represented by the actors.
