I'm the lucky owner of Sideshow's Luke and Yoda PF statue. And I can tell you it's pretty amazing. It perfectly captures a scene from my favourite of series "Empire Strikes Back". I swear it's just like a screengrab from the movie, it is really that life like... especially from normal viewing distance. I must say, it does need quite a bit of adjusting, especially Yoda, to get it looking right. If you don't bend Yoda's arms at the elbows, they look way too long and touch Luke's nipples... not that there's anything wrong with that. If you squish Yoda's head down slightly, not only does his eyes line up better with Luke, but he looks older, even has a slight hump in his back.
And because I got this one straight from Sideshow, I got the exclusive Luke in Vader mask thingy.... which is actually quite big and prolly has a better paint job than the statue - especially with the lip colour chosen.
Here he is as the dirty ranger....
The bust from Sideshow has alot to be desired as well... it looks a little like Viggo, but what's with the sad, hang-dog expression. Strider never really looked sad in the entire trilogy really, it looks like he's lost a pet warg or something.
At last we have a "manly" portrait, where he doesn't look like his about to cry.... he looks like he could whoop some ass... but does it look like Viggo.... nup.
The is Aragorn going thru his "Fat Elvis" peroid.... yay, we've conquered the baddies, now I can eat shitloads and lounge around my courtyard. I've seen gay guys that look like this after too many years going out on the "scene" and have since settled down. Did Aragorn do too many 'party' drugs out in the wilderness?? And those little beady eyes make him look pretty suspect.
Back in ranger garb, this time made of plastic. You can just imagine him saying, "God, I'm sooooo depressed, will they ever get me to look anything like Viggo?"
Rumour has it that Viggo refused to have his likeness sculpted on these collectibles... still that's no excuse to offer us a random guy, Mr Depression 1981 and a fat gay guy as substitutes.
More to follow....
This screencap from the upcoming Fantastic Four movie clearly shows a dangly bit in the Silver Surfer's crutchal region. So does this mean his nuts will be flying about in every shot he's in??
And the nominees are…
