If your expectation is for anything more than a pretty wall hanger, you will be disappointed. But if you want a wonderful Hobbit collectible to add character to any room in your house, this bow is just the thing. I am the type of collector who likes to take the replica off the mount and hold it in my hands every once in a while, and for that purpose this bow is somewhat underwhelming. But I find it easy to appreciate the epic aesthetic of this Elven longbow, and that's worth it to me.

The bow may be made of polyresin, but the detail is fantastic. The wall mount looks nice, but I don't think I'll string the bow since it may cause issues down the road. You can't beat BudK's discounted price on this item either!

Looks amazing but sell more Bow and arrow's

I find this to be a very nice replica. I have been collecting as many of the LOTR and now Hobbit replicas as I can. I knew from the description that this was a non-functional bow made from the same polyresin used for the movie prop. I was not disappointed when it arrived. I would have given it 5 stars but that would require it to be a functional bow, which it is not. WETA makes their own version of the same material but with a higher cost. I can't wait for more UC replicas.

It is all polyresin. Even the grip and the feathers of the arrow ...(not specified in the description)... For this price! This is too complicated to have three real feathers and a small piece of leather ... apparently too much to ask. Yes, it is pretty to look at (painting, design), but that's all and that's not enough! Unusable plastic toys uninteresting and overpriced! After so much waiting, disappointment again, with replicas Hobbit / LOTR UC. Where is the quality that we had in 2003? I return the bow!

Nice design but was very unhappy with the "toy" like quality. The arrow would have been accepatable if made out of wood. Very over priced, I would have returned however, I was foolish in destroying the box. I would not reccommend.
