Gollum is very cool looking, and his menacing scowl perfectly matches his persona. While you can see his arm and knee joints, they don't stand out as much as with some other action figures, ruining the appearance. I do wish he was posed just like in the picture, but instead he is facing straight ahead, but still crouched with arms slightly bent. The scraggly strands of hair really set it off, and if I didn't want to open the package and diminish his value, I'd possibly let him wear The One Ring (Lego) that I bought. As it stands, I have him and Bilbo but I didn't count on the fact that both of them would have taped seals on their lids, so I can't open the boxes to give either of them the ring. Oh well, first world problems.

I'd like to add that I had this item on my wishlist for many months, maybe a couple of years and I watch my list every day for price changes. One that one glorious morning, I noticed that the price had unexpected dropped to 20 bucks, so I immediately ordered it. I wish now that I had bought 2 or 3. I doubt that will ever happen again and I wonder if it was a mistake, but whatever the reason for the temporary price drop, at least the seller honored the purchase.
