"Asmus Vs. Sideshow Figures Comparison"

[wallace_trust]

It's raining here again (and I am not going to complain... I do best in cool weather) but we have had a couple of dry days recently, and I finally managed to get outside to take some more photos of these dolls!
 

Left to right:  Asmus, Sideshow, and the 7" Deluxe Poseable Frodo by Toybiz.  Sorry Sam is MIA, but hopefully this pic will help hobbit shoppers anyway  ^_^;

Hi Lavender ^_^ Don't worry about not commenting! Some people say more, some less! :)

The Asmus dolls were a very limited run of 1000 each, but there are a few sets going through eBay. One from Utah is located at this link:

I wasn't really aware of the 9" Toybiz dolls. Is that only Frodo, or does Sam come in that scale too?

This one:

Kind of cheaply made but he's happier than the others. Or he's bravely pretending, which gives him a bit of a crazed look--there's sadly no matching Sam.

Ah! That is the one I call "Frodo of the Rooted Hair." ^_^ He is on my shopping list :) I believe he was the first larger scale Frodo, and I imagine he would be roughly comparable to the Sideshows in scale.

There is a lovely Bilbo with a red velvet jacket which may be from the same collection. His face sculpt is exquisite and he is inexpensive, so that is probably the next doll on my list ^_^

Now if only they made a Frodo & Sam salt & pepper set... :)
