Re: The Expanse

I have not read the books. I have read that the show follows them reasonably closely, although diverging in the minor way that adaptations often do, through combining characters, etc., and sometimes in some more major ways. However, the authors of the book series also served as writers and producer...

Re: United Cutlery's - LOTR & The Hobbit - Movie Props!

One minor quibble - there’s supposed to be a SN here, right? Yes, there is! Well lucky me, looks like I got #1! In all seriousness though, I don’t suppose there’s any reasonable way to determine what the SN should be? Not a big deal since I plan on holding onto it, but it may make a difference down...

Re: United Cutlery's - LOTR & The Hobbit - Movie Props!

Well, I'm still inside the return window, so I might try an exchange in the hopes that the replacement is better aligned before trying to re-rivet the thing. Certainly wouldn't be a bad skill to pick up though - I might look into it in the future. Thanks! The exchange process was relatively painles...

Re: Adam Savage unboxing video for Sauron and WK helms from Purearts

I’ll admit that I’m tempted by the WK helm. The UC helm is good, but the cowl/good doesn’t come down far enough in front so it looks a bit off. I assume this was a deliberate choice to make the badge on the stand visible, but it does impact the presentation. The Mouth of Sauron has details that I ha...

Re: Adam Savage unboxing video for Sauron and WK helms from Purearts

Those bases are incredible! It is disappointing that the Sauron helm is essentially just a mask, but using magnets with the Witch King helm is a good solution to make the box smaller. I think Kit has mentioned elsewhere that they might do something similar at UC if/when they finish the WK helm series.

Re: United Cutlery's - LOTR & The Hobbit - Movie Props!

Hello Kit! Thanks for the response. I'll chalk up the missing ring to just a fluke - everything else looked exactly as I would expect for an unopened UC item. It's too bad about the Gimli products, but maybe they'll change their minds one day. I may have misspoke on the centering - I suppose it's ju...

Re: United Cutlery's - LOTR & The Hobbit - Movie Props!

Hello All! I recently got back into collecting and have focused on finding the obtainable limited edition items up front. I'm very happy with what I've collected so far (FYI, the most recently run of Gondorian Infantry helmets don't have the nose rivets), but I have a couple of questions that I hope...

Howdy from Texas!

Greetings all! I fell in love with Tolkien's world while the movies were coming out, and I spent many hours on The Fantasy Forum and browsing the UC website, hoping I would have the funds to start collecting one day. I did save up enough at the time to nab the Shards, but as I went off to school and...
