The difference is the difference between real production costs and final selling price. This what is called profit, and it is a thin line that companies should watch if they do not want to blow up the market and the space of their own customers.

As far as I understood, the second headsculpt is exactly the same as the first just with different paint job. On an already manufactured product, that is not 35 USD, maybe 15 USD the most. That leaves 75 USD for the generic diorama, which I don't believe to cost that much to produce (maybe 25...

People always claim that companies need to make profit in order to survive... I never doubted it, but my point is that greed can make you loose credibility in the global market - a simple lesson of economy. Look what HT did: they increased the price to such an extent that now people are gladly...

Some time ago I bought a replacement chainmail for Gimli (a Coomodel one, I think) and if I am not mistaken is very similiar to one we would be getting with this Aragorn. I never used it, as it does not look realistic to my eyes. Recent chainmails such as Eomer's and Elrond's look better in my...

I think Mr. ASMUS made a mistake this time: price does not match the product. I would had purchased it simply because of the head and diorama, but nearly 300 USD for that does not seem realistic: a re-use of many parts, no clothed boots, and (let's admit it) a cheap-looking chain mail... Greedy...

Axl Rose (before he stopped being Axl Rose and became... AC/DC??)

Independently from the Thranduil great news (I hope him to be a Throne version as well), this is why I love ASMUS over the rest of the companies: who else in the 1/6 scale market would protect us from scalpers this way? This is what I meant in some other post: there is no contradiction in...

I understand what you say. However, companies certainly know that there are different ways to make money: easy money or long term one. Take the example of Hot Toys: they have the name, and now they can afford to establish the peak of price knowing that people will buy from them, no matter if...

It is true that it did not sell well, even if it is one of Asmus' at their finest. I was always very surprise about that fact, but sometimes collectors are blinded. There was a low run for this figure, and I am pretty sure that one day it will become one of the most sought after figures from the...

I own most of them. And without hesitating: Grishnak. Perfect figure. Completely underated. I just hope new orks will appear on the horizont...

Honestly, this is a dream came true.... Thank you Asmus for this piece of beauty. PS: On a side note, I truly hope that no exploited labour is involved, because elevating this standards of quality while keeping price reasonable, plus the constant comunication with the fans, is what makes this...

Headsculpt seems perfectly executed indeed. Contratulation to ASMUS for it! Now they just need to develop film accurate in-scale clothes that drop realistic (not as in the first version) to make it the figure of the year...

"I cringe every time I read a post from a UK, Ireland, Australian and Canadian collector." Do you mean because there are no collectors somewhere else? I thought the world was through with Anglocentrism... The Empire needs you!!

The boots... Those non posable one piece boots...

Beautiful indeed. But boots are worrying me: a single piece of plastic? Not even two parted boots, again? And no rooted hair version? Asmus, I think you should remain coherent with previous releases if you want collectors to be faithful to the line. Last but not least, I dont see any hood. I...

For me, "the Client" would be my most desired figure... Werner Herzog in 1/6 Scale!!!

Looks great! I just hope that the quality of the clothes matches up in scale... https://i.pinimg.com/564x/4c/43/03/4c4303f8daf70d7a77ba86b91f685d47.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/564x/09/4a/1c/094a1caea2f33b0d551eafde1a69222e.jpg

Looking forward to it...

Mine will not do it either. I suspect that this is a production problem, I am still waiting for Asmus' response. I guess they will fix it soon, in ASMUS I trust. This is the lotto of first batches indeed...

A beautiful figure indeed, I am very glad to have it. But I did have the same issue with the sword not fitting the scabbard: its point is simply too wide and it breaks the wide of it. It seems like a production problem. I wrote them and I just hope to get a replacement. This good input/customer...
