Asmus has announced there will be 6 figures this year and teased this photo:
So if what we're seeing in the photo are the 6, that means outside of ones we knew of like Galadriel and Gandalf the Grey, we're also getting Gandalf the White, Theoden, Azog, and Elrond in armor!
I was personally hoping for an Elrond in his 'lounging' robes but let's see how he turns out.
And Iluvatar damn it, I may just have to be in for an Azog too.
Goddamnit... I may end up getting Galadriel. You can barely see her sculpt... but from what I can see, she looks fantastic!
And I never thought they’d try for Azog. I hope, hope, hope this means they make Kili and a 2.0 Tauriel.
That Gandalf the Grey is just friggin perfect. Can’t wait to pre-order! Not as interested in the Gandalf the White, especially with that beard. Wish Elrond was more in view. I’m still undecided on getting him. I’ll end up caving on Galadriel.
I will buy all of them most likely! I already love the first Gandalf release but I really love this new one. Gandalf the white looks like he’s got the mix of sculpted and haired which is not my favorite. That Galadriel really does look good even from that little over the shoulder peek
Yeah Galadriel’s profile view is really good from the little we can see of it. Buying her was never in question though, unless they turn out another Tauriel tier sculpt (but they’ve clearly improved)
For me I’ll pass on Theoden and probably GtW too.
The rest are definitely coming home.
As to the mixed hair on GtW I didn’t mind the same thing on Saruman, but now that they’ve shown they can do it consistently there’s no reason to go back.
Everything is in progress though so it could change
I don’t mind the plastic beard on Gandalf the white it’s more the rubberized top half of the hair and braid then rooted hanging down like they did with Arwen (who I think is great figure I just prefer fully rooted)
I don’t have any LOTR collectibles, but that Balrog bust is awesome. I just really don’t want to start collecting another line. There’s already too much stuff coming out as it is.
Well I think I have two more payments left and then I’ll have the balrog! Super excited, hopefully asmus will put up Gandalf so I can have an extra one to display with the bust
Yeah that balrog is awesome but I'm out of buying the higher end things myself now. Sticking to finishing up my 1/6 collection exclusively at this point (along with a few 1/12 figs)
On the Asmus front, Theoden has been 'offically' revealed:
Looking pretty good if I may say so myself, and they're gonna start shipping at the end of the month only. Their turnarounds are get quicker and quicker.
Well, it’s actually about $140 higher, lmfao. Asmus may want to rethink that price. Or offer up a version that cuts out some of the accessories, perhaps like they have done with the extravagant bases with previous figures.
As it is, this will be the single most expensive figure I’ve ever purchased, not counting those I’ve picked up on the secondary market.
Preordered the crown series Gandalf, I have the original but I need more Gandalf in my life! $350 is a lot but it would cost $350 to get the original one haired....but I will have to be very selective about which releases I buy in this line. I’m hoping we get Sauron info soon, I really want him to be 1/4 scale
