12" Lord of the Rings Figure: Gimli Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have a number of the other figures in the 12 inch series. I would have said Gandalf was the best until I got Gimli. His hair is sculptured rather than rooted. I guess they learned from the wild mane they gave Gandalf. He comes complete with a dwarvish scowl that would curdle milk and that stooped posture from the movie. Unlike Gandalf and his hat, Gimli's helmet stays on. He comes with a Moria battleaxe but none of his other axes.
The detail in his costume is superb. They used a black cloth with silver threads to approximate his chain mail. He has those braided straps and his fancy belt buckle. Vinyl coated cloth with an intricate design printed on it is used for the busy looking leather on his upper arms. It looks really good. They added some bulk to his costume to get him proportioned right. He really looks like the photo in Gary Russell's book, The Art of the Fellowship of the Ring. (Which, incidentally is available from Amazon)
He is the one figure in the series that can stand on his own. He has a ball joint waist and fewer points of articulation in his legs.
His boots and gloves permanently attached. The sculpting on them and his helmet shows real artistry.
I would have liked to see them include his axe collection. In the movie the guy rattled like a tinker's cart with all of the hardware he was toting.
My one and only real complaint is they made his eyes blue instead of brown.... Still I can't get over how much he looks like the character in the movie.

Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King - Coronation Gift Pack Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Here's a quick description of the figures...
Eomer - repack, but excellent sculpt. Exquisite Rohan detail. (If you cut the back of his skirt in half, he can ride Arod.)
Aragorn - repack, but excellent sculpt. Exquisite New-Numenor/Gondor armor detail. But he's missing his Ring of Barahir. (If you cut the back of his skirt in half, he can ride Brego.)
Faramir - new figure, excellent sculpt. Comes with the same sword and scabbard that was with him in the Gondorian Armor action figure. His legs look like they came from Boromir, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.
Arwen - a repaint of Galadriel's body. Exquisite detail on her crown, slippers on her feet. The dress's sculpt is a bit twisted and risks looking too short for her. Her face looks extremely droopy; it's not as good a sculpt as that of Arwen in the grey chase outfit.
Eowyn - the best figure of the pack, surprisingly. Exquisite detail in the dress, excellent sculpt. (Strong possibility for customization: paint her dress white, and you've got the White Lady of Rohan standing on top of Meduseld.)
Toybiz needs to make more gift packs like these. (Suggestions: Council of Elrond, Farewell at Rivendell [with a new Arwen in the purple outfit and other elves], Transformation of Theoden [with Eowyn in white], Farewell at Lothlorien/Grey Havens [with new Galadriel], the Elves' three rings scene, etc.)

Schleich Elf Floral Umbrella Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Wonderful coloring, very sturdy construction. The elf figurines fit onto the leaves and blossoms easily, and stay until removed. My 7yr old loves it. The size of the flower really makes the figurines seem small, just like elves should be.

The Floral Umbrella shades and shelters Elves simply beneath a flower's bloom.
Wonderful flower parasols grow everywhere in elf land, but particularly on the banks of Lake Bayala. They are so big that their delicate violet blossoms offer several elves at a time protection from the sun. In the evenings, these elves like to sit on the spreading leaves of the flower and gaze up at the stars.

Figures not included.

Schleich Surah Light Elf Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Surah is one of the Schleich elves. These elves are mostly sold in Germany, and they all have their different stories. I believe there are actually a few books on their adventures. Surah is everything I expected of her and more! She has a green bird in her hand, and she rides on her horse who I named Sycamore. Most of these elves who ride on horses can't stand by themselves, but if you try, you can get Surah to stand up with her wings supporting her. Getting her into her saddle is also a little difficult, but if you practice, it gets fairly easy after a while. She is one of my favorite elves (#1 is Feya) and I would highly recommend getting her for a child or a grown-up.

Surah, the transformed shadow elf and the King's daughter.
Happiness has made its way back to Surah. She has returned home after being held prisoner for a long time in the kingdom of the shadow elves. Back to her twin sister Sera and Princess Eleya. And look how she has already changed! The incredible pallor of her skin has given way to soft pink, her wings shine resplendent in gleaming blue, interwoven with white, green and golden shimmering tips. When she flies over the sun-drenched meadows and forests of Summergreen, the elf headquarters, she is lovelier than the loveliest birds in the land. Wherever she is, her friends chirp and flutter around her and the entire world beams with joy. And when, one day, her little green bird returns to her, her happiness is complete. Just like Sera, Surah is also sent on a long journey where she encounters new perils, great adventures and also a new friend.
