On this thread: http://www.one-ring.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=27624, Rickybobby17 asked for comparison photo's for GW and Non GW Hobbits.

I went to snap a quick shot and it turned into a whole photo shoot. So I thought it should get it's own thread. I compared GW/ Mirliton /Reaper Bones and one D&D plasitc I had lying around. When I bought my figures 20 years ago, they were Grenadier here in the US.

Group shot. The blue figure is D&D plastic

I was starting to get carried away

I was surprised at how well they worked together. The Battle of Bywater here I come.

One or two more pics on my blog:

Cheers, Xin

Wow those are a lot of Hobbits :shock:

Very informative 8) ..... It seems that Bilbo is more realistically proportioned then the older Hobbits.

Awesome I appreciate it grenadier looks like what I'm looking for scale wise they're pretty similar in size to gw except for bilbo he's tiny

If I was ever to do a battle for the shire I would know where to get my extra figures. Lovely comparison work and Im sure many are thanking you for doing this.

I was really disappointed by the EFGT Bilbo which was a very decent sculpt, but when produced and scaled down from the original three-up just looks like he has a pin head when compared to the rest of the hobbits in the range!
