Between this and Asmus, it's a good time to be a LOTR fan.

a lot of people probably will skip gimli.. most of us who REALLY couldn't live without him just did our amazing customs. So unless they do a gimli that just blows me away, i'd probably skip it at least. I'd like to see some focus on figures we never had a chance to really do customs of. Not saying they shouldn't do gimli, i just don't think he needs to be one of the first ones.
I think he meant to be a 1:6 collector and an LOTR fan Josh.
(ya scurvy format traitor!)
I didn't feel like going through the trouble of kitbashing a Gimli and tracking down all the parts. Still holding out for a good licensed Gimli.
It's been that way for a whole between what Sideshow and Weta are doing. This just adds to the fun.

Anyone else think with Asmus going after characters that SS hasn't done (with a few remakes), that it would be cool if ACI does more remakes with a few newer characters? I know Asmus said with this announcement from ACI they had to pick it up a bit but I would like to not really have to choose one over the other but instead get more all together
I already posted this at OSW.
I don't know why but unless I'm missing it the news about LOTR is not on ACIs' site anymore.
Right on!! I have ZERO lotr 1/6 figures, and it'll stay that way until I see high quality ones I can display next to my favorite Hot Toys, Enterbay, and customs! But guess what? The Roman General is proudly displayed in my collection, and I wouldn't sell him for the $400+ I see him at on eBay! ACI truly has me excited!
I'm looking for Gollum and the main fellowship first!
Are peeps making their character choices in the hope of fleshing out their existing collections - even though I imagine that ACI will be bringing out a figure a few rungs up on the quality scale than sideshow? I'll go against the grain and just hope for the original fellowship and Gollum.
F that noise. Come out of the gate like Blitzway with a fantastic sculpt of a human like Aragorn or Legolas. Show you can nail Viggo and Bloom's likeness. Word will spread all over the net, preorders will sell out. Halfway to release, show unpainted sculpts of Saruman, Elrond and Denethor. Keep in regular contact with your customer base, reply to Facebook comments, and do polls on who the fans would like to see in the line.
I agree with these guys. I'd want characters I actually know without having to look at a picture to see who your talking about. As far as the SS stuff being up to snuff, that's very debatable. I don't feel like buying figures that need a repaint, body swap, re-stitching etc.
If I were aci I would leave gimli till I had the hobbit license as well - then you pump out all the dwarves
