This review is from: Lord of the Rings Sharku with Warg Beast (Toy)

This is a nice set. Instead of galloping action that most beast and rider sets include, the Warg has chomping action instead. It can also be put into more poses than toys of horses and it looks great. Also to mention Sharku, a veteran of the Goblin Wars, this figure looks every bit as hideous as the character did in the film. Now, all we need is another set that comes with a Warg and just a basic Goblin rider, and we'll be good to go.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Wrath of a Warg, May 27, 2004

This review is from: Lord of the Rings Sharku with Warg Beast (Toy)

This is an awesome toy! The warg rider Sharku is pretty neat. Some problems are that it is very difficult to position him on the warg. Also he isn't very durable. One time my sister took him and sqeezed him between the couch. When I found him his left hand broke off. Anyways Sharku is highly detailed and looks as ugly as he does in the movie. He also has leg moving and sword swinging action. The warg is really awesome. It is extremely detailed and almost fully possable. It has jaw-chomping action. The warg's head is covered in rubber so when its jaw chomps it looks really realistic.It also has a rubber tail and mane. The jaw is filled with teeth and is sticking out its tongue. This is a fantastic toy.

I got this deluxe beast & rider set at a semi-local Target store.
When I got home I opened it up and started unpacking it(there are over ten twist-ties to undo), then I brought it to my room to display with my other LOTR figures. The warg is, to put it bluntly,
FANTASTIC!! His jaw-chomping action works stupendously and looks quite realistic, especially since instead of hard plastic joints for the lower jaw and head, it has a layer of soft rubber on it.
The warg's fur and teath are very datailed and very realisticly painted, and with Sharku on him, he looks quite menacing.
Now for Sharku. I wasn't nearly so enamored with him. For though he is very movie accurate, I never really liked him. He comes with a really cool knife, and he has a knife-slashing action, which works well. What I didn't like about Sharku is he was always really stiff and I could move his arms and legs only with great difficulty, another thing was that his legs are almost entirely rubber. Sometimes it gets sticky if the tempature is to high and you can't pose him very easily on his own, and he kept falling off his warg. Another thing is, I don't know if it was only an error on my Sharku or what, but after I had displayed him for about two weeks, his knife-slashing hand got really loose. Overall, this is a pretty good rendition of sharku and his warg, though I would have liked it if Toy Biz either made a higher quality Sharku, or made a different Orc for the set.
