Gandalf is very similar, I prefer the old cape and head, but the torso and legs/dress will depend on the circumstance. The new Aragorn and Sam have different outfits, so their use depends on the situation. I prefer the ranger Aragorn, although the council outfit is useful in Rivendell. Sam’s new outfit is useful for while in the shire, while his old outfit is good for his outfit further into the journey. I think the old Aragorn and Boromir heads capture the actors better, although the new Boromir might be useful if I want to switch his hair to the more accurate reddish brown. I’m unsure on which outfit is better, there are certain aspects of each design I prefer better, so I’ll wait to see it in person. I like the new Boromir shield, although the older feels more ‘Lego’ to me.

November 7, 2023 Boromir I think is the one that was definitely improved in every way from the original. The face looks better and the body printing is just a lot cleaner.

The line work on the characters is all of a finer gauge and relatively simplified compared to a decade ago. In the meantime, the increased use of gold and silver metallic inks increases the detail, particularly amongst the elven folk. Adventure Core • Animal King Turret • Atlas • Cake Core • Cave Johnson • Chell • Doug Rattmann • Frankenturret • GLaDOS • Mantis Man • P-Body • Sentry Turret • Space Core • WheatleyThe stubble and beard is well suited to the character’s appearance in the movie. He has a wry smile and a slightly angry look. Again, the older expressions are more aggressive than the new ones. The new Ranger Sword is longer than the old longsword, and has a more detailed mould for the blade, cross piece, handle and pommel! The older figure had tan legs, with a grey tunic. The top end of the Evenstar jewel that was given to Aragorn by Arwen can be seen hanging beneath his shirt. Both of these figures are excellent, but the one included in Rivendell is more appropriate for the setting. The Statues Celeborn \ Elf (Sentry) \ Elf (Worker) \ Elf Soldier \ Elros \ Gil-galad \ Glorfindel \ Lindir \ Lothlórien Elf \ Quest Elf Gloin was one of the dwarfs that joined Bilbo on the journey to Erabor, many years ago. He has come to Rivendell with his son Gimli. His beard piece now allows for a long straight hairpiece in white. His face is wrinkled, and I presume that because the beard obscures most of his facial details, there is no alternative face print. His torso, however, is not a new print, having also been used for Tony Stark and Owen Grady Facial expressions have also become less comical on the whole, while features like cheekbones are de-emphasised. The retention of some features is notable too, as the Hobbits' hairstyles are unchanged and Gandalf remains familiar too, despite the modern robe.

There we have all of the figures included in the set. Most of the designated characters offer varying degrees of improvement on a previous figure, although the new Sam and Aragorn figures are more consistent with their appearances at Rivendell, compared to the original versions (Aragorn in the Wild, and Sam as he appeared at Ciruth Ungel). Anubis Guard • Charlie the Funland Robot • Dada-Doo • Daphne • Fred • Mummy • Mumsy-Doo • Scooby-Doo • Shaggy • Velma The differences between the minifigures are interesting, I prefer some aspects of the 2012 figs, and some of the improvements in the new fellowship. On contrast to Boromir, Legolas' costume remains quite similar to the original, albeit with certain updates to the colours. The dual-moulded legs are certainly welcome and I like how the modern hair component extends over his shoulders. Even so, I still think the blonde colour seems rather pale. While we're on the subject of hair, the single style of elf hair piece seems very limiting. Dual-moulded may be an improvement but the top of the head looks oddly "bulbous" from some views in this new version. Given the number of elves, they had the opportunity to do more with this.Gimli’s beard color and shape was way better before. Also, his eyes don’t fit his beard and helmet very well at all. Love the medium legs though and the new helmet is great even if it was a bit superfluous. Bring them together, though, and Rivendell starts to feel a bit like one of the “bigature” models from Weta’s studios, with an elegant elven structure nestling into the landscape.

If there’s one Lord of the Rings set to rule them all, Rivendell is certainly the One! The most ambitious set in the series to date, Rivendell captures the scene and the formation of the legendary Fellowship of the Ring. Members of the group seek to find the Ring of Power and destroy it. Relive the moment all of the key players gather for the first time at the scenic Elvish sanctuary. The Lord of the Rings: Rivendell features an incredible selection of minifigures, including the complete Fellowship of the Ring. This group also appeared in 2012, spread between various sets from the original range.I'm just gonna copy and paste what I wrote on the Rivendell announcement article, where I did my own comparisons based on the pictures:
