Product Description

The most anticpated Lord of the Rings figure of all time will finally see release. The Fire Demon Balrog is over 20' tall with a 3 1/2 foot wing span. Comes complete with sword and whip. This fully poseable figure includes ball jointed shoulders, bendable elbows, swivel wrists, and more. The eyes and flames on his back 'glow' with LED lights inside.

Think small toddler with wings. This sucker is huge, and can kick any of your other action figures butts. Even Treebeard looks a little scared in the face of this one. Don't have any other action figures to let it wreak havoc with? No worries - this is definately a conversation piece all on its lonesome.

The sound is great: loud and a nice quality. The LED lights, however, are a little cheezy. Basically the tuft of fire on his head glows. The glowing is probably enough to amuse a small child, but it lacks a little in majesty.

Most surprising about the figure is the center of balance. When I first started putting the pieces together (legs, chest, tail and wings) I wondered how on earth it would ever stand on its own with wings wider than it was tall. But thankfully NECA thought it through and, like a real toddler, can be made to stand all by itself.

If you have the room, this figure is definately a winner. It definately beats the old school one from Toy Vault!

Although the plastic feels high-grade, within 10 minutes a leg joint was broken. Since the leg gave way, it kept falling until a wing joint broke as well. To be honest, even if it hadn't broken, the Balroq still would have moved into the basement. This isn't a toy. It's a statue. It's too big for any child to play with.

This is a great collectible. Very realistic, and very well designed, including realistic Balrog sound and flashing fire mane.

Take caution, however--it isn't a toy (but then who'd pay this much for an action figure intending to PLAY with it?). This is the pinnacle for LOTR action figure collectors. I have a LOTR themed room, and this figure goes on the floor with Gandalf. There's no "shelf" big enough to hold it. There's only on word to properly describe it.

Cool.
