Middle-Earth: Mordor Troll

The plastic is surprisingly sturdy for the price, and the three build options give you real variety without needing extra parts. I went with the drummer and the pose has a great sense of motion, though I wish the instructions were a bit clearer for the arm joints.

The extra drummer option sealed it for me — I built the Mordor Troll first and the war drum piece adds so much menace to the shelf. The plastic fit together cleanly with minimal gap-filling, and the poses give you real flexibility for a diorama.

The multipart plastic build is exactly what I wanted — I could choose between the Isengard and Mordor variants, which is great for army flexibility. The troll drummers that came together were way easier to assemble than I feared, and the detail on the armor is crisp.
