This review is from: Ken as Legolas in Lord of the Rings (Toy)

Okay, so I am a huge Lord of the Rings fan, and Legolas has always been my favorite character. The Toy Biz Legolas action figures have been great, but their dolls have been, well, ugly. I thought we'd never see a Legolas doll that actually looked as good as he did on film.

Well, "Ken as Legolas" will help you get over the ugly dolls of the past. This one is a piece of art -- thank you, Mattel, for getting it right!

The Legolas doll is even better in person than it appears the in the photos. Okay, so it does look more like Ken than Orlando Bloom, but at least he's got a pretty face... not to mention long rooted blond hair and, oh yes, the pointed elf ears! The costume is extremely detailed, and very accurate to the film. The accessories, consisting of a quiver, bow & three arrows, are even better.

The sturdy box is beautiful, with a great photographic background appropriate for the Woodland Elf. It's consistant with all the Fellowship of the Ring packaging done to date, so it will fit right in with the rest of your LOTR collection. I can't comment on how the doll looks or poses out of the box, because mine is staying in. It just makes too beautiful of a package... maybe I'll get a second one someday and find out. There is mention on the box of a doll stand included, but it is not visible from the outside (a big plus).

It's hard to imagine a Legolas doll looking any better, especially for this reasonable price (for a collectible doll, anyway). Yes, they could have made the materials of the costume more deluxe, or sculpted an accurate likeness of Orlando Bloom. But I am happy with this one, and I think you will be, too.

This review is from: Ken as Legolas in Lord of the Rings (Toy)

At the wonderfull sale price of $20 I gave this Legolas to my 5yr old daughter for her recital. It is a great doll and really just as durable as any Ken would be. She loves the Fairytopia line and in the movie they have a guy but they never produced a doll. She always complains that there are not enough men to marry the Barbies, so the price was right for a play addition.

Since we have watched the LOTR movies she knows about some of the charachters. She also has the Toy Biz Arwen, so it was a natrural to give her cousin Legolas. The doll is fully poseable with a "My Scene" body in smaller scale (I wish all Mattel Kens came this way). He will probably end up marrying a Barbie and having Happy Family babies. Not the manliest of pursuits but it sure beats bedding down with Gimli!

The doll is very nicely detailed and the face is amazing, doesn't look much like Orlando Bloom, but still very wispy elven none the less. The costume is a bit better than what you would expect from a prince Ken, and the silver undershirt is separate and so are the boot keepers (I like that), which adds to the upgrade on the doll. Real boots also add to the authenticity of the outfit. As for the weapons, the bow looks quite delicate like the sting will pop off easily and the arrows are very thin. Oh well those can go in a drawer until he needs to go hunt an elk in Fairytopia to put food on the table!

Overall a great doll to play with, don't leave him in the box, Legolas just gets to be more fun if you pair him with a Barbie and play house.

Sigh, if my old Barbies had only had Legolas to play with when I was going up!! The details of this dolls is simply amazing. Right down to the smallest stitching on his costume. The doll captures Legolas' Elven look, yet is so masculine. I really feared they would futz up this doll, but they came through.

I great addition to the LOTRs set from last year and Galadriel from this year. They are wonderful display. Great Birthday or Christmas present and at this price you better snap them up quickly.
