When people talk about Frodo Baggins and Samwise Gamgee, they usually use that really condescending "Oh look at the beauty and power of their friendship!" voice. Nobody really sees them for the badasses that they are, which is why I appreciate this Sideshow statue. Yes, Frodo and Sam are super badass, which is why they literally walked into Mordor. Then they walked up the volcano. Have you ever been near flowing lava? That stuff will set you on fire just for being near it, but Sam and Frodo walked on it barefoot. Oh, and they also saved the entire world from a reign of evil. I dare you to do better.

Sideshow's treatment, as you can see, is stunning. The statue will come in an exclusive version that has the awesome orc helmets. You'll be able to pre-order them October 11 through the Sideshow newsletter, assuming you can swing that $274.99 price tag (both exclusive and regular versions cost the same).
