Balrog
Lord of the Rings (Neca) - Epic Scale
Rated 4.00 stars by anthrapoid
I waited and waited for this one. I pre-paid more than a year prior to its release. When I finally got it, I had mixed feelings. It looks absolutely wonderful, and the size is staggering. The scale is perfect for the ToyBiz 6" figures, and this giant looks very good displayed with all my orcs and uruk-hai surrounding it. On the down side, is the light effects. When you push the hidden button, the fire-mane flashes on and off about six times. It would have been so much more dramatic if they could find a way to make the light 'fade' on, brighter and brighter, stay on for about ten seconds, and fade off again. The flashing looks silly, so I never use it. Also, (and this is important) is the fact that there is NO light in the eyes, nostrils and mouth. This would have looked absolutely amazing...[See More]
