>>11052517Oh I love that giant eyeball, I just feel having a working eyelid would've made him a far better figure. The turning eye is great though and that smile is just amazing.
>>11052564Fair enough on the Legions, they do come off as kind of bulky and the giant heads do them no favors. I will have to say that their newer Knight build is just fantastic though, probably the most realish looking suit of armor they've made to date. The Templars with the added soft goods look amazing and the amount of stuff you get with them, in addition to full soft goods tabards, is definitely worth the price.
If you want 1:18 fantasy though, I think Boss Fight is your only real option. If anything, their stuff looks even "more" high fantasy then the Legions stuff, but at a smaller scale it doesn't feel as awkward. I can't really speak of the line as a whole as I prefer my 1:18 to be more sci-fi/modern military. but of the few monster girls I got from them they make good figures.
Also, I would definitely get the Displacer Beast and Beholder. screw your friend's weird hang ups about a crappy company, those are good toys and can be found on deep discount.
>>11052598I have pretty much the whole first wave LotR and the Orc. They're....ok but full of flaws. Other then standing on a shelf, they're just not fun to handle. They do that awful "Knee bends below the knee joint" thing a lot of SWB figure do and it just never looks good. Gimli is probably the best of the good guys from the first wave, though can't go wrong with the Orcs.
I do like the BAF Sauron though, but mine has a super weak wrist and can't hold his mace up. But he is giant and imposing, and that's all he really needs to be.
