kinda bland in my opinion. Then again, pbaldur was pretty bland too.
I'm actually kinda dissapointed in the model.

Oh dear! Two disappointing Warlock sculpts in a row for Circle. Both suffering from having terrible heads.

He's channelling his inner Lemartes.

Pretty weak sculpt

He needs an angry expression on his face that says "grrr, I'm in the midst of killing a bunch of people."

His current face is a little to congenial. He also has a more than passing resemblance to a young Santa.

Yeah the fig doesn't match the art on this one. The art screamed "I'm back and I'm pissed off". This guy not so much.

Nothing epic about him and a huge missed opportunity to make something unique (WoldBaldur)

Both suffering from having terrible heads.

Yeah, he does look rather mild mannered, doesn't he?

Baldur "Get your hands off my herbal tea!"
Guy "Get real Baldur, I've added vodka to it, what do you take me for?"
Baldur "You mean it's not pure herbal tea anymore?"
Guy "Yeah Baldur, now it's actually worth drinking. So you gonna put that sword away or decapitate me for defiling your ghenko and camomile?"
Baldur "You're right, sorry...it is just tea after all..."
Guy "No Baldur, that would be an insult to tea. I hear there's a tree round the corner that needs a good hug."
Baldur "Right, fine...I'll just go and..."
Gut "Yeah, laters."

Am I the only one who thinks Baldur is more the kind of huy who'll put his arm around your shoulder and start singing "I'm a lumberjack" just to try and perk you up a bit?

I don't know if it's the paint job or what, but this guy just doesn't scale on my threat level highly

Can we get a re-host for those work-blocked?

"Now watch as I flip not three, not four, but FIVE small stacks of pancakes at once!"

I like it ?

head swaps are easy.

"Look guys, I had a sword back here this whole time apparently!"

Yeah, pretty disappointing. I was actually excited to see what they'd do with him and this does nothing for me. This would be an acceptable alt-sculpt for regular Baldur, not his epic version.

Agree with most here. The head is awful, perhaps they should have kept the hood. That might have helped but overall the poor head sculpt kills it.

Putting your thumb over his face and looking at is much better. Have a feeling we will be seeing a lot of modifications to this model from creative hobbyists out there.

I think it looks like a great piece. I like the detail and the pose. It isn't OTT. His face does look a little calm though. But nothing that painting or a little green stuff can't fix.

Yup.

Happy Meal toy

That would've been sweet!

I don't dislike the model as-is... I think it's OK. But a WoldBaldur... man, could've rocked.

Wow... that really does help! Should be an easy fix for people to cut off the head and replace it, if they want...

+many for WoldBaldur. Such a missed opportunity.

Sadly there was a very vocal opposition to WoldBaldur from day one (that being when Metamorphosis set the stage for it) on the PP forums, because apparently he would look too much like Karchev. It's possible that PP changed their mind because of this.

woldBaldur seems too radical, but this is more like the other end of the spectrum. Nothing has changed except he put his hood down. Its an ok sculpt but nothing really exciting. Paintjob on the face could be better with glowing eyes or something. And whats with all the sideways stance poses recently..

awful... just awful... like smelling salty garbage on a hot summer day.

Like many of the new PP sculpts, the awesomeness is dependent upon the paintjob
