Look at the stone trolls or the goblin king, now imagine them in superman tshirts and a pirate hat. "HEY YOU GUYYYYSSS! SLOTH LOVE CHUNK" ><

LOL! They are pretty bad sculpts. We were laughing / shocked that GW is asking $80 for them. Insane

This might just be the LotR fangirl part of me speaking, but isn't that the point?
The goblins and trolls are deliberately deformed. Goblins are malformed creatures which live underground (how many pretty things do you see which rarely see sunlight?), and it's a similar case with the trolls- they never go out in the sun, and they're dim-witted brutes- how many good looking, dim-witted brutish monsters do you see?

though I do agree, I can definitely see the likeness between that guy from the goonies (I forget his name) and the trolls...

JB: I like the concept of a free Shrike roaming through the treetops of the jungle. I'm not sure that I like the idea of a real Shrike sitting on my couch eating my Skittles.
corpsesarefun: Thank god I missed be nice to shrike day.
greenskin lynn: because of all the skittles and soda, you basically live off sugar water, like some sort of freakish human-hummingbird hybrid.

They aren't bad sculpts at all, they look exactly like they do in the movie. And how much people personally like models has no bearing on price.

I think they're nice looking models, I loved painting them!

Camouflage is the colour of fear... I have no need to hide from my foes... I have no fear of death. My colours I wear openly, they proclaim louder than any words, "I am proud to live - I am proud to die" :
