Balrog at the Neca online site!

It looks about as good as a Balrog fig can look IMO. Without the clouds of black smoke and the glowing skin it just isn't as visually impressive as the movie.

It looks good, but there's something just not right about it, and I can't put my finger on it.

Looks fuckin' awesome! [img]cool.gif[/img]

Nice to see a Balrog figure for a change. I'm so use to seeing the statues, that I forgot he had legs. [img]eek.gif[/img]

Here's the thing....

While it does look just about as great as it can look, I think it may be a bit too red. One more coat of drybrushed black wouldn't hurt.

Aside from that, I think the reason it's less than astonishing is that we've seen the character in a sculpted form quite a few times now......it just doesn't have that same wow-factor potential as a character who has never been turned into a figure/sculpture before.
