True. I agree with all your points, but it just seems like HT, EB and Blitzway are ignoring the Lord of the Rings, which is sad because it would be one of the greatest lines in 1/6 with the level of detail they are pouring into these figures. Just wish some one would do them again. (Not SS please. )

Hopefully with the Hobbit, the hype will pick up again and one of these companies will take notice. Especially HT, they need to realize there are other things out there besides Iron Man/Avengers and Batman.

I would assume that the licensing cost for LOTR (and the rights holder's litigious nature) is probably what is keeping everyone at arms length from the franchise.

But yah, the hype surrounding the hobbit might get one of the big names involved.

I'd love to have a high quality Gandalf on my shelf

Thats exactly what I want as well. Ive done some modding to my 1/6 SS Gandalf and Im pretty happy with him now, but it will never be as good as if HT or one of those companies does him though.

I'm glad we agree, but I think we've hijacked this thread

Although, Brian is always on the lookout for suggestions regarding future ACI products so, maybe our little stunt gets him and his company thinking a bit.

Back on the Priscus, I think its quite phenomenal that ACI is introducing real chain. Not interested in gladiators much, personally (waiting for the Roman Legionary), but I see a lot of potential for medieval knights, both historical and LOTR (should they go down that route one day).
