Sideshow Weta LOTR Frodo Baggins 1/4 scale statue/Bust w/Box

Description

I am the original owner of this figure, purchased in 2001, around the same time as the award winning movie franchise started to commercialize the films. My research on eBay shows the last few of this figure were sold for approx , so my starting bid reflects the current market.
I proudly displayed this and other busts in the series, in a place where direct sunlight would not touch them. It is in great shape, the colors are still bright, and with no damage/problems that I could see while I photographed them for the auction. The box has been well cared for also, having spent the last 17-18 years in storage out of direct sunlight.
Please see my other auctions, and please ask questions prior to bidding. Since I am listing several busts at the same time, I may be able to combine shipping, but you must let me know if you intend on bidding on the other busts at the end of this auction.
As with my other auctions, I will pay part of the shipping, and set the limit the buyer will pay at . All my auction items ship with insurance.
I will leave positive feedback for you once I have hand delivered the boxed figure to the carrier.
Once you receive the item(s) in good order, please consider leaving positive feedback for me.
