[vic]

Hi all, my first post here to get me off the ground and it's not even about a female Sorry

Does anyone know where I can gat a figure of Gollum from LOTR. I found one but it was too expensive.

All the best

hi vic, and welcome too the site... as for Gollum, i know i have seen a figure of that little chap but it's probably the same one you've seen. I'll have a look round for you but cna you give an idea of the price range you are looking at?

oh and you might take a wander over too the clubhouse and ask around there, those guys are well clued up !

Hi James, thanks for the welcome. Nice site mate, looks good and lots going on.

The Gollum I saw was 6.5 inches high in a crouched position and was £51. I really wanted one about 120mm around the £20-£25 mark.
Not too fussy ;D

I found the clubhouse through one of your members putting the link on his post. I'm waiting for my activation code to be mailed to me.

Catch you later

Oops did that wrong.

Vic,

Have seen a couple of references to him on e-Bay. Not sure the make though. Will watch closer in the future.

Thanks Dave,

I had a quick look but only found poseable toys or cartoon looking things.

Cheers

Hi Vic.
Just joined myself and noticed your post for Gollum.I think Ibought the kit you mentioned with Golum crouching on a round base.
I bought the kit direct from Gabriel Marquez(the sculptor) and had excellent service from him.Ithink it cost about $96 inc p+p.I know this sounds a lot but with the exchange rate it works out about £65--£70.Not bad for what is probably the best Gollum on the market.I added a custom base with water effects and a sound chip from the action figure(my sons)
NT productions also do a Smeagol which isn't bad either.They are based in South Shields .Norht East UK www.nt-productions.com
Hope tis has been some help.
Stay Tooned
P.S. I'll post a shot of my kit when I work out how

after much scratching of the oldbrain noggin.... i came across this:

This is the guy who sculpted the one I bought(Gabriel Marquez).This figure is sure to be a classic.Grab one!!
It is a bit awkward to build as you have to attach the arms and legs first and this makes for harder painting.By the way,NT's Smeagol goes for about £50..
P.S.Posted a shot of my kit on Photosite.It' under hobbies/models

Spotted on on e-bay just this morning however, I believe it is built.
