I [heart] Auron's sword -- at least, until you get his ultimate weapon, which is so ludicrous as to be just plain ugly. Oh, hell, [heart] Auron in general. What a sweetie.

They now have the really big 1/8th statue of Auron, and he's in the box, staring out at the world -- without his sunglasses. I looked at the box for nearly a full minute before I figured out exactly what was wrong. I mean, I can understand making his glasses removable, but ... shipping him without them? Horrors!

I would add him to my Bookshelf Guardian collection, except he's really far too large.
