Sauron The Dark Lord Prime 1 Studio 1/4 scale EX from the Lord of the Rings Unboxing & Review

[@hauntofthecollector]

So pleased that he’s finally arrived for you dude!! 👍🏻 He remains my favourite piece ever, in my collection!! 💀👍🏻

[@thecyberhobbit]

it really stole the spotlight of my entire collection. Thanks for commenting man!

[@themiddleearthcollector2785]

That Sauron is a beast. It’s huge. Awesome video. Love your display of all your items. Rustic, and comfy feeling. Cheers

[@thecyberhobbit]

thanks buddy! yes it is HUGE... 1/4 scale but Sauron was about 8 feet tall in the movie... so therefore this is 42 inches/106 cm

[@oIJustForFunIo]

You really have style dude. One of the best apartments I've seen so far on KZbin (I know you didn't show the full thing here but I watched some other videos). Sauron fits right in. Most collectors have a huge number of collectables on their display shelves, but you aesthetically integrated it all into your apartment and damn it looks so good. Love it!

[@thecyberhobbit]

Thanks man I really appreciate that! It's definitely taken a good amount of time to get it where I want. I really dread the thought of one day having to move and pack it all up :D Thanks for the comment!

[@tomsworldofmovies1573]

Great review man! What a beautiful peace! Nice room! Got mine in a few weeks too. I am so excited!

[@thecyberhobbit]

Thank you! It is such a great piece you will love it

[@olavaudunbrennemo7433]

Really good video and long Ryan think if sauron without his helmet and leaning his head on his shoulder, But amazing good work of editing the video👍👍👍

[@thecyberhobbit]

Haha yeah I guess we can assume Sauron always keeps his head straight up pointing forward. Thanks as always for commenting appreciate the support :D

[@olavaudunbrennemo7433]

I thougt you just unbox the head but deam this suprised me

[@Sdanwolf]

Man Ryan this video inspired me to try and hunt one of these down and I finally found one! Found one for $1599.00! Besides one Weta cave troll & a Gentle Giant Saruman this will be my 3rd piece 😄 Thank you again for the detailed showcase. I used to watch this with almost trepidation of, man I love this but do I $2,400 dollar love it (because thats what these Ebay sellers are setting them out for now) Then I saw a website called Secret Compass had like 2 left and when I saw that $1599 I knew I had to jump. After tax and the $323 shipping I ended up right at $1992.00. I ordered it last night and I already have a UPS tracking number 😳 Thank you again buddy & keep up the awesome content!

[@thecyberhobbit]

[@kryoboy2.074]

Stunning m8 absolutely stunning. I don't have the cash for something as epic as this but I did receive a noble collection sauron bendyfig and a bst axn sauron figure yesterday. it was a glorious day taking pics of them😂 This rings of power series looks amazing and it's got me hyped beyond belief for more sauron🤯 Appreciate the vid being a huge Lord of the rings fan and couldn't have come at a better time.prime1 knocked this out of mordor 👍From scotland🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@thecyberhobbit]

yeah this really is an amazing piece. I think it will remain my favorite for a long while. I'm very much looking forward to ROP! Thanks for commenting!

[@purefoldnz3070]

This is very impressive coming from someone that saw the real Sauron armor at Weta.

[@thecyberhobbit]

Nice man! I would LOVE to visit weta, I'm kinda jealy, thanks for commenting

[@purefoldnz3070]

@@thecyberhobbit Yeah you should anyone can visit, doesnt cost much for a tour. Got to see and touch some of the original props but one of the biggest was Sauron's armor..

[@kaicollectibles]

I still think its really impressive. But I have to agree the lava does look cartoonie!

[@thecyberhobbit]

It's still my favorite of my whole collection

[@kaicollectibles]

​@@thecyberhobbitI bet next to him the 1/6 looks like miniatures😂

[@Devanrealness]

Epic!!! 💛🧡❤

[@thecyberhobbit]

it really is! thanks for the comment

[@savitarr1162]

Had to pause and replay 4:31 xD thought I heard something else…

[@thecyberhobbit]

😆

[@MrIncrysis]

Great vid! I need to unbox mine. What are the dimensions of the base if you know?

[@thecyberhobbit]

from the top most rock to the bottom of the base is 11 inches and the diameter of the "circle" is roughly 25 inches.

[@MrIncrysis]

@@thecyberhobbit awesome thanks!

[@SuperRodrigomancha]

Fantastic thanks for sharing

[@Joehatrix]

I am in love with your entire display! This Sauron statue is in my radar. It would be my first ever statue. May I ask how much did you pay for it including shipping? Thanks!

[@thecyberhobbit]

Thanks man, it's man favorite piece to date. With economy shipping it was $300 and took about 3 months to arrive

[@Joehatrix]

@@thecyberhobbit so close to $2k I’m assuming? I might pull the trigger on one soon EX Bundle like yours for about $2.4k shipping included. Sealed and low 100s numbered. I think it’s fair considering I will get it in a few days since its in the east coast

[@thecyberhobbit]

@@Joehatrix I paid total $1700, $1399+$300 for shipping.

[@Joehatrix]

@@thecyberhobbit Alright. Sounds good. I know you have way more experience than me in this. Do they retain their value? Considering these that have a limited run of 1000

[@thecyberhobbit]

@@Joehatrix I would say so, lots of LOTR collectibles do and this 1 seems no exception... it's a grail to lots of people.

[@Joker-fx6mh]

Wetas version is more movie accurate. This one is just too big. I’m glad I got the weta version

[@LuisRivera-xo3hq]

Awesome review, did you get this directly from prime 1studios if so how much was shipping to 🇺🇸

[@thecyberhobbit]

Yes straight from Prime1 to usa. I did economy shipping $307. Grand total $1706 (1399 + 307). Though FYI it took almost 4 months to arrive after I got the shipping notice.

[@savitarr1162]

This vs recent weta sauron? Who wins in your opinion and why

[@thecyberhobbit]

I actually do prefer the Prime 1 Sauron for a few reasons. First I think the pose is better, holding the ring up makes it a focal point of the piece. Second the size made it the most stand out piece in my collection but obviously that just applies to my scenario. Also I think the cape being actual fabric gives it a more realistic look. I do think the base with the LED on the Weta Sauron is wonderful... the weakest part of the Prime 1 Sauron is the lava in the base.

[@savitarr1162]

@@thecyberhobbit yeah agreed! imagine the prime 1 sauron with the led lava of weta :O

[@Steve-zy2zr]

Hello mate nice video! May I ask you something. I have a small issue with the arm with hammer of Sauron it goes in but it's a little bit loose I think. Like if I put a little pressure it moves. Does yours do the same? Thanks!

[@thecyberhobbit]

Yeah it moves slightly but the magnet holds it well enough, I try not to touch or move it

[@Steve-zy2zr]

@@thecyberhobbit thanks mine the same thing. I'm scared of an earthquake that's why I asked haha. So you think it's fine like that?

[@thecyberhobbit]

@@Steve-zy2zr yeah I think so, it wiggles but it holds it well enough

[@Steve-zy2zr]

@@thecyberhobbit thanks mate! Cheers

[@thecyberhobbit]

@@Steve-zy2zr congrats it's a beautiful piece!

[@adamkornacki606]

he looks a bit to thin in my opinion

[@thecyberhobbit]

Yeah I wish I would have mentioned this as I thought the same, that's sort of been the general consensus from others I heard.... that being said it still doesn't change my opinion of the piece, it's my favorite still!
