Got these guys this week, lovely set with a great dio piece too. You MUST heat the crouched legs up in hot water before trying to attach them; regular legs, arms, hands and heads are fine to remove and replace cold. I recommend only using the angled neck joints to avoid knocking the PERS out of place, great feature but the control sticks are very long inside the heads and the straight neck usually hits them when reattaching the head or moving it around, you could shorten the sticks of course to avoid this, might do it myself. Things I don't like are that the hair isn't screen accurate and I'm trying to fix that (first attempt with coloured markers was a disaster ending up with me having to remove the ink with acetone free nail polish remover, so it also removed all the paint and applied hair...ooops..); I've since repainted the affected part of the head but he still needs hair 
. Secondly the seams on the back of the heads are a bit rubbish and could have been made a lot neater, I could use filler but it would mean more repaints. The ring should really have been attached to the specific 'ring holding' hand as you may get two of them but I can see them getting lost very easily! What wasn't easy was gluing the ring to the fingers, pain in the neck, took ages as it doesn't like super glue for some reason. Lastly the ankles are a little too loose on the crouching legs but that's an easy fix. I love everything else, the attention to detail is brilliant like his spine and scars on his back, his ribs, muscle structure, veins etc.. His hands and feet are very accurate to the CGI and completely new parts not reused hobbit parts, they are quite rubbery like the rest of him and give a life like translucent skin look and feel. The set came with another Gandalf hat and Narsil sword...nice of them but I really wish they had included something more useful and generic like Elven swords and Rohan helmets etc.. to build more figures or add to my archers. The dio base is heavy but not very, the encapsulated fish in the pool is really cool and life like, he/they also comes with two fish. No magnets or stands on the dio so it's a balancing act, I'll probably use blue tac under his feet when placed on the shelf.
NICE MATERIAL THOUGH!
YES IT'S RESIN
NO FANCY POSING YET
OKAY BIT OF POSING NOW LOL. RING GLUED TO FINGER OR HE'LL LOSE IT LIKE IN THE MOVIES/BOOKS!

Then after waxing the hair with a fancy moustache wax I have (I can't find my tub of cheap stuff) the next hard part was deciding how long to leave his hair! I usually always end up giving my figures beards and hair that are/is too long, just a quirk of mine, probably being safe rather than sorry as it's a lot harder to put back on! 
. Anyway you'll see the conflicting sources I have for reference that show it pretty long verus what I remember from the movies where I thought it was shorter, so you'll see both looks as I ended up giving in and going for the shorter look eventually which I think is the right call; the strands don't have to be clumped together in 'rat tails' and can be spread apart for a more dishevelled look I haven't tried yet.
