That's a hell of a good Frodo!!!.. maybe the best likeness I have seen to date. I think a small drop of nuln along his closed eyelid would help ...but man that's really good and rare to see a captured figure of Frodo accurate from all angles. Both him and Aragorn seem impossible to get right. Wow, when you added the extra curled up feathers!!.. awesome. I wouldn't even consider the "Seam" to be an issue what so ever, it's perfect.. the feathers rock, the base and lava rock when lit look A M A Z I N G. That there good sir, is a grail!. Ohh yeah I almost forgot... I hate you right now :)

Yeah it's pretty incredible to get a sculpt likeness that's accurate at such a small scale but you're right they did an amazing job, especially with Frodo.

Wow thank you man, that really means a lot to me. I always try to take what I learn from every video and apply it to the next so after a 100+ videos I think I've figured out a style that works good for what I know how to do. These video do take a while to make, sometimes multiple hours just to get a single minute correct and how I want it. Many takes to say correctly the lines of dialogue I want without stumbling over words, I've thought about maybe sometime making a "how I make videos" video as there are a lot of steps to get things just how I want them. Unfortunately the process being long does mean I keep getting behind in the many videos I have planned and want to do, but it all seems to feel worth it once I hit the upload button. Thanks again for the nice comment Jacob!

Hey, I'm actually gonna keep my helm and get the new one when it comes out, you may want to too... im thinking this helm we got may be worth $ in the future since it was a mistake, the helm was never supposed to be shipped and sold like that, so there can't be too many out there, thus = rare. I know star wars made a blunder similar to this case, where they shipped a kenner action figure and there was a mistake on the figure, they recalled it back in the 80's, and now it's worth a lot! Just a thought! 😉

Sad that it was sold out. I am just happy that there is a 3D scan avaiable and you are able to print it out yourself. if anyone fancys Shiratech with 20% tenacious shirayatech resin gives extremely crips details and makes it unbrekable, for the glow effect a simple led array with a soft defuser in the base. Total Print cost is at around 140$ and takes a week to print out depending on print size. wish you could buy it from the shop. But all wetaworkshop 3D scans that where sold out are thank good absolutly god tier scans.
