Product Information

In regards to the weapons, you have Boromir's sword, Gimli's axe, the ranger sword, sting, and the elven blades. No Glamdring, but I suppose that could be easily represented by the current long sword element. Are they missing any other key weapons besides a reforged Anduril? I can't think of any. The only other thing might be Uruk-hai shields since the swords are still in production. I suppose since they put 16 of the weapons in one bag, it won't show up in smaller sets. Hopefully they do a similar but smaller assortment for smaller sets." The art shown is a print that has been shrunk down to fit an 11x14” silver frame with a decorative profile. The original Nine were hand cut, and fit on 16x24”.

Which is why I'm not buying it day one. I will wait for it to show up somewhere else with a discount.Shieldmaiden of Rohan, and slayer of the Witch King. “I am no man!” Eowyn is shown in a 5x7” vintage resin frame with a burgundy interior and gold roses encircling the outer rim.

Medium nougat plates differentiate this area of the model, which is helpful because the armoury is situated lower in the valley onscreen, so appears darker. The continued greenery looks good and several mushrooms are placed around the shorter tree. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that their stems are actually glow-in-the-dark.The neighbouring structure retains the patterned roof from Elrond's chambers, although features different bands of colour. The columns underneath are absolutely stunning and I appreciate the continued integration of sand green pieces, which are ubiquitous across Rivendell. The archway looks superb, with a statuette and two undecorated birds creating a decorative frieze on top. Captain of the Rangers of Ithilien and little brother of Boromir, the Tree of Gondor is emblazoned on his uniform. A silver frame of the same style as Boromir’s was chosen, as he was deemed “second place” by their Father, Denethor II. 5x7” real wood oval, silver leafed. Both minifigures wear dark bluish grey robes, with sand green and metallic silver accents. While these designs look great, their colours should differ between them, at the very least. The dress provides some variety though and this torso is cleverly designed, so the dark green belt appears equally natural with or without the ribbons hanging underneath. The legendary shards of Narsil are displayed upstairs, presented beneath a statue of an Elven princess. Certain features of the original statue are absent at this scale. However, the hexagonal plinth seems reasonably accurate and I like the dark blue elements, intended to recreate a fabric sheet under the shards of Narsil. Legolas Greenleaf appears equally detailed, as metallic silver patterns complement the earthy colours of his attire. Sand green and sand blue look marvellous together and the dual-moulded boots are effective as well. However, I think tan would have been more suitable for Legolas' hair than blonde and maybe this Elf should have included unique hair, which could accommodate his quiver.

The columns appear fragile, although some are surreptitiously reinforced using 1x1 round plates with bars, which connect them to the walls. A dark blue banner hangs behind the columns and resembles several from the films, featuring silver stars. Perhaps a couple more could have been included to balance the interior.They could also design the Jedi Archives and include Tera Sinube and Jocasta Nu (so we can re-enact the Grand Inquisitor fighting her in the library), and I would also want at least Gungi (since they could theoretically reuse him for Bad Batch sets)" Remarkably, a unique accessory has been developed to represent Elendil's shattered blade and this weapon looks absolutely perfect. The distinctive hilt is instantly identifiable and the uneven break looks realistic too. Hopefully the reforged sword taken up by Aragorn, dubbed Andúril, will appear in any future The Lord of the Rings sets.

Frodo arrives in Rivendell after being stabbed at Weathertop, so appears appropriately stunned from the wound. However, perhaps a concerned face would have been better for the Council of Elrond, with this design kept for possible future sets. Bilbo's other expression looks outstanding though, recreating the memorable 'scary Bilbo' moment from the film and showing the continued influence of the Ring! Featured in a pure white wood oval 5x7” frame. Gandalf’s hair and beard are completely white, notating his change in status after his return from death after battling the Balrog. Bilbo Baggins is featured in a simple gold leafed frame, as he remained untainted by the One Ring. 5x7” wood oval. The Lady of Lorien is featured in this rich, real wood oval frame which has been entirely hand gold leafed. She was offered the Ring by Frodo, but defeated the temptation to accept it. She remains ever Galadriel, surrounded here by leaves and flowers. The Lady is 7x9” and the outermost measurements of the gold frame are 12x14”. I think much the same can also be said for some of the head prints. The original Legolas face may have been somewhat stylised but it worked and the use of several generic faces in this set feels like a cop-out. I understand that the old prints were out of production and they probably shaved a little off the costs by incorporating some parts already in production but it definitely feels like a missed opportunity.

Overall

The momentous Council of Elrond takes place in the courtyard outside Elrond's chambers, with an enormous tree overlooking the scene. The setting is immediately recognisable here and the use of colour is brilliant, as the gathered chairs are the only medium nougat features anywhere outside, ensuring their clear visibility.
