BOROMIR & LURTZ Toy Biz / Diamond Select Lord of the Rings Action Figure comparisons/ Review

Thanks for the comparison videos. You forgot to mention Boromir's horn of gondor which is a storage solution. It comes with a string loop that can go around his waist. Simply remove Boromir's waist joint (mine was loose without hot water) and put his horn around his waist, it then sits nicely on that hook you mentioned. You can then use the string's tightness to attach his sword/scabbard and even the daggar through.

Actually the best review about these figures. Other youtubers just keep saying they're pretty, sometimes not knowing the characters, and not saying anything about the issues concerning the accessories.

You’re honestly the first channel I go to when it comes to these reviews you really go in depth in the comparison and know what you’re talking about not many other channels actually do research on these figures

As a bit Toybiz collector, it's a simple choice for me. Super poseable Toybiz Boromir, and Diamond Select Lurtz :)

I really love your content, thanks for comparing them with Toybiz figures. I will keep my Toybiz Super Poseable Boromir but change my Lurtz with the Diamond Select one. Also I'd like to see your full Toybiz collection with all those dioramas in 1 video. Hope you can do it😊 Greetings from Turkey.

I did try putting Lurtz quiver up past his legs but got nervous I'd break it so put him under a hot tap and popped his ball joint torso off fine for an easier fitting. I also heated up his hand under the tap before attempting the bow grip.

Massive missed opportunity not including a generic uruk head with Lurtz. The two Lurtz heads are the same so I would have preferred a generic uruk head instead as I want to army build these. We have the army builder with the two towers armour but we need an army builder from the fellowship uruks like Toybiz did!

Thanks for mentioning how you got Lurtz's quiver on, most reviews I've seen don't manage to do it, watching yours I took your advice and managed to get it to work on mine. I'm in the UK and saw that figure a few days ago in my local comic shop. I don't collect the Diamond Select line but I'm a sucker for Orc type characters, so I might have to go back and get some Moria Orcs and maybe an Uruk Hai soldier to flank Lurtz. My only problems with that figure are the limited head range I really wish he could look down, and the eye paint. I had to look through all the ones they had in that shop to find one where both heads were at least passable, but the best one still had an alternate head with a wonky left eye. Still, solid figure. I'm sticking to only Orc characters, I don't need the heroes and honestly after watching this I'm glad, why are the heroes so much taller? The Moria Orcs being small I'm okay with, but the Uruk Hai and Lurtz especially I always saw as big imposing characters.

Awesome review! I am just so curious on how boromirs cape fits on Aragorn as he looks so bare capeless

I admittedly only started collecting the Toybiz line very late into it's lifespan. Most of it was Return of the King stuff. I was more focused on collecting the Armies of Middle Earth toyline by Play Along Toys. They weren't really action figures because they were tiny figures almost like statues though some had maybe an arm or leg you could move. But there were playsets like a Helms Deep that if you weren't foo fussed on posing figures I think they'd work as a small snapshot of scenes in a diorama setup. I don't have the figures and sets anymore a lot of stuff I got rid of years ago due to lack of space. Anything I have left is basically my Star Wars and Marvel/DC stuff and all of them are stored away in the attic due to the lack of aforementioned space. I someday hope I can collect again and watching a lot of channels like yours and everyone else in the 3.75 Star Wars community and 3.75 in general has been fun and makes me nostalgic for those days when I could collect and be a part of the fun. It also helps may stay informed as to what's going on so that if I do return I know what's been made and hasn't been made. There's a lot of setup ideas I have it's just I can't pull them off right now so I have to live vicariously through everyone else and their great setups that are filled with imagination and a true display creativity of building things from scratch and shows you can make anything out of everything. Someday hopefully I will again be able to collect. Anyway I think that's it for now but knowing me I've forgotten some stuff. Great video.

Excuse me, I have a question, can you put the toybiz arrow on the Lurtz from Diamond select? I want to know if they fit well in your hand, why I see that the diamond arrows select are very small.

You’re the first person on YouTube that’s put the quiver correctly onto Lurtz lol. I’ve seen all kinds of configurations 😅

I was planning on buying both these figures to recreate boromir death scene but seeing how stiff his cape is, I'm worried that you can't have them on his knees. Is this possible or should I pass? 🤔
