Just pointing this one out, to catalogue if not already common knowledge

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LOTR-METAL-Un ... 4ae2185ddb

BTW it's certainly not mine and may even belong to one of the members here.

A nice pair of sculpts. The base is a similar approach to couple other sets, with a casualty figure on it.

Haha this was posted on the GBHL facebook page aswell.

Common opinion reckons it is a recast. Just doesnt look crisp enough to be real.

What do you know? It looks absoutely fine, the pictures are just a little overexposed.

I know several people who have the real thing ;) Not saying it is 100% recast, just that it looks mighty dodgy.

^ :rofl:

I'll have to agree with Southern, you'd be taking a mighty big chance on an unknown source just for a knockoff replicate. This is something you don't purchase online, you need to physically inspect it.

I must admit, that face is possibly the least detailed metal face I've seen GW produce, my bets is that this is either a recast, or not at all as good in condition as the seller describes. That said, I like the overall look of the miniature, and would really like it too, but not at such a ridiculous price.

Isn't it too early to be asking for a grand? I mean hobby collectors with regular pay salary would rather get the $1000 worth of miniatures still available that is missing from their collection than get a rare mini while saving up again for all others as they slowly become OoP.

When the licenses expire and all models are out of production, then it would be hunting season for scalpers on ebay.
