We purchased these as a gift for my brother in law and his girlfriend for their first apartment together in Detroit and they seem to love them! Gandalf looks more like Dumbeldore than anything, but nonetheless the quality of the two ceramic salt and pepper shakers are top notch. The holes where the salt and/or pepper come out from are hardly noticeable and these look more like decoration than anything, which is just perfect for those not seeking obvious items for their intended purposes. I'd highly recommend these to anyone who is a fan of The Lord of the Rings series (books or films). I'd give this five stars if Gandalf looked more like Gandalf, but four stars will suffice!DISCLAIMER:I take this very seriously, as I like many of you rely on these reviews when making purchases. Nothing has been asked of me other than to give an honest review of the product, and as you can see from my review history it has no effect on my opinion. As others have pointed out I would recommend that you don’t just look at the ratings on these reviews, focus on the reasoning behind the ratings as that will give you much more insight into the product. The reviewer may be looking at the product for an entirely different use or from an entirely different perspective than you are. If this review has helped you to make a decision please hit the Yes button below. Thanks!Ordered these salt and pepper shakes as cake toppers for our upcoming wedding! My fiancé is a huge Lord of the Rings fan so when we came across these, we knew they were perfect.Product arrived quickly and was well packaged. The product was exactly as pictured--good size and no damage. However, I only had one issue. It was so warm that day, that the clear sticker on the bottom of Arwen's dress and Aragorn's cape/cloak melted on. I was able to peel off the sticker but the font from the sticker itself melted on. I had to scrape it off with a credit card and whatever else I could find. Did take awhile to come off, but managed without any scratches. So just be warned when it's a warm day and you receive these!!The Batman and Robin shakers are a tad expensive just for novelty salt shakers, but entirely worth it for a collector. I collect batmobile and batmobile accessories (loosely extends to bat-bikes) and I love love LOVE my new salt shakers. I’m forever on the look out for functional additions to my collection that do more than just take up space in my already small apartment. Perfection!The super heroes are a nice addition to my collection. However, if the piece was taller it would have made for a much better display. With a bigger piece, details could have been brought out, which would have made it a set to brag about.Perfect, once I get my own place and use this as a center piece for the dining table. It will complete the Medieval look I always wanted. The greatest thing is that they are Aragorn and Arwen, my favorite canon pairing. Favorite LOTR characters besides the Hobbits. The fact they are wearing my favorite costumes of the movie is a big plus.These are easy to use salt and pepper shakers and fits well in smaller hands. I love how their are larger holes at the top. I do love pepper.I will order another, just in case in the future.First off, the set is ceramic, which wasn't stated in the description and was a pleasant surprise. Also, Gandalf figure was much lighter than pictured here and has three holes, which is odd considering that most pepper shakers have two, while Saruman is not as white as pictured and has two holes instead of three. Not a biggie, just a little odd. Overall, it is very well made and is high enough at 4.25 inches to make it a fun display item. My only concern is that the Saruman in my particular set was a little dirty. It looked like either coffee or some sort of brown liquid stain. Whatever it was, it came out when I cleaned it but it would have been a much better experience having received a clean set.These are sturdy and release salt and pepper very well. Unfortunately, the paint job on these are terrible. I purchased the WW cookie jar and lamp from Westland Giftware and was VERY happy with both of those items so I was really looking forward to adding these salt and pepper shakers to my collection. I was very disappointed with the paint job on them. Especially on WW's face. Her neck looks HUGE because her hair wasn't painted all the way down to her shoulders. Superman, I can live with. He's not quite as handsome as the one in the photo but not ugly looking like WW. If I had of seen these in a store, I wouldn't have bought them. Hopefully, Westland will work on the paint job quality of these in the future/Great addition to a collector's home or anyone who appreciates the LOTR. Came in great shape and have held up for a long while. Not supper large but great for decorating.Ho regalato questo sale/pepe Aragorn e Arwen per un matrimonio a una coppia di sposi appassionati del Signore degli Anelli e penso di poter dire di aver visto i loro occhi brillare di contentezza.L'effetto bacio dato dalla calamita (è lì dove si toccano i vestiti, non in un punto sconveniente) è adorabile, il dettaglio della ceramica e dei colori è alto, la confezione non è di lusso ma neanche indecente. Forse non comodi da usare davvero sulla tavola, ma un posto nella vetrinetta dei piatti se lo meritano tutto :DThey are in ceramic, with magnets where the dresses touch each other, with detailed paint and wrapped in a simple but honest box. Simply adorable, they made a very welcome gift for a just married couple :DDiese Salz- und Pfefferstreuer sind etwas besonderes! Ich habe Sie als Deko für eine Hochzeitstorte erworben. Sie sind super verarbeitet und mit einem Magneten versehen, so dass das Paar sich immer gegenüber steht. Ich bin sehr zufrieden.Ich habe auch ausprobiert, ob sie sich für den Zweck "Salz- und Pfefferstreuer" eignen und kann das ebenfalls bestätigen.Die Lieferung hat etwas länger gedauert, ist aber kein Problem gewesen.Magnifiques salière et poivrière originales que j'affectionne particulièrement, elles sont très colorées et seraient destinées à une très belle collection. Malheureusement, je n'ai jamais pu les acheter malgré un échange de messages avec le vendeur.j'ai acheté ses statuts pour les utilisé comme figurine sur notre gâteau de mariage.Elles sont très bien faite, que cela soit pour son utilisation première que pour l'utilisation pour un mariage. Les trous de S&P sont très discret. L'aimant placé sur chaque statut permet une bonne tenue entre elles.Un vrai bon rapport/qualité prix.Je les recommande.
