Thranduil (Battle of the Five Armies) (Hobbit) Custom Action Figure
Custom #:91002
Name:Thranduil (Battle of the Five Armies)
Custom Type:Action Figure
Toy Series:Hobbit
Creator:Bastila  
Date Added:July 10, 2017
Base Figure:Haldir
Height:6.50 inches
Completion Time:16.00 hours
Articulation:12 points
Critiques:Requested!
The base of the figure is Haldir from the Helms Deep multi-pack. I cut the torso armor off and used the armor from Faramir. I used milliput to alter the armor to match his in the Battle of the Five Armies.

Head: Ichabod Crane
Hair: WWE Wrestler
Body: Haldir
Armor:Faramir
Cape: Aragorn


I sent a LOT of time on the face. I added a bigger bridge to the nose, filled in the cheeks, squared up the jaw, rounded the forehead, added elf ears, and eye brows. Unfortunately, the head does not move. The ball-joint broke while I was making it but with the hair as it is, the head wouldn't have been able to move a lot anyways.

The hair came from a random WWE wrestler but I sculpted the hair that frames the face out of milliput. The crown is a necklace from a GOT Tyrion figure.

I know that Thranduil doesn't have armor on the lower half of his body but I loved the detail on the Haldir figure so much, I couldn't bring myself to remove it. So I took a little creative license, but it is still very elvish.

In answer to your question about my Balin custom, I used the outer "jacket" piece from a Lord of the Rings Elendil figure. I just trimmed the length down at the waist so that it would fit a dwarf's stature.

I like the body-armor and the face A LOT ! You are really talented in face-sculpting ! It's so cool, that the small group of Tolkienerds has a new member ! Thranduil is SUCH a damn great (movie)-character ! I wished he have had way more scenes in the movie...He deserves an own spin off, IMO ! Just imagine, if there would be a prequel and how awesome it would be, to see Thranduil fight and put down the (orchestrated) dol guldur-orc attack, on the woodland-realm, which enables Gollum's escape...Insane material to picturize !

I was blown away that they never made his figure in armor!!

His character is very cold, yet so interesting. I am like you, I crave more!!

I am buildin all these dwarves together. I need a little bit from here and there, I have 3 that are 80% they are just missing a few things. But keep an eye out, I will most likely have like 3 or 4 coming out very soon!

Nice job! I did the same keeping part on my first attempt of Thranduil but eventually got rid of Haldir's skirt armour and went for what was done in the film and I've updated again since haha. Nice job solid custom

Haha yeah I suppose that would make it easier lols. Dwalin, Balin, Fili and Kili were all quite straightforward customs of mine and worked well I believe, things like my Dain Ironfoot and Thorin in his regal armour were not easy and I had no help of reference other than the films haha so yeah can be difficult but obviously it's important to remain determined. Impressive how quickly you've pumped out these customs, though I imagine you have lots almost done and have been building up to release loads. I think I've still got 5 Hobbit customs comming up and a few LOTR's ones also that are either nearing completion or I just haven't found the time to shoot pictures of lols
