Azog with club weapon |

Radagast (love the printing on torso) |

Necromancer (no print on back of head or torso) |
Gandalf the Grey |
Same as 10237 with cape and 79005 but without cape |
Gundabad Orcs: 2included (1 with shoulder armour and one without) |
I really wish at least one of them had a hairpiece |
Same as in 79012 (without hair) and 79011 (with hair) |
Sculpture (exclusive to this set I think) |
Does the skeleton count as a minifigure? |
Pros:
I love Radagast, the sculpture and the Necromancer
Radagast:
- Great detail printing on both front and back
- LOVE the hat. I do wish the beard could be separated from the hat
- Very useful for many different types/genres of MOCs
- Nice printing on both front and back of torso (as well as front of "legs")
- Although I've heard others complain that he is too plain or "cartoonish" I find him a very interesting figure that could be used in other MOCs
Cons:
Gandalf the Grey:
- Basically the same that appears in many other sets. Some appear with a hat. Some without a cape.
- I think many love the Azog minifgure. I think it looks strange. I don't find him horrible but I'm not excited about him either
- I really like the printing and color of the Gundabad Orcs but I really wish at least one (or all) came with hairpieces. Customers that want bald orcs (for variety) can take a few off.
- Same head, torso and legs that appears in Mirkwood Elf Army (without hair) and Dol Guldur Ambush (with hair)
