That's it for LOTR for me, though. These really are kinda outrageously expensive (though I saved over $120.00 US by getting these two guys from Animarket instead of BBTS) but I'm justifying it because I'll be keeping this license really small, the low ES and I sold off quite a bit of stuff over the last couple months. Sadly a picture of my "collection" at the moment would be a bunch of cardboard boxes. :lol Hoping to have something set up for the end of the year!
 
I don't understand the exclusive. It comes with one sword but the regular comes with two (including the exclusive sword).

The amour is different, yes, but it's covered by his robes and you barely see it in the film.

The regular version is essentially the Witch King (based on the armour). The exclusive is just a normal wraith (again, based on the armour); you would imagine the Witch King would be the exclusive.
 
Yeah, it's weird how they did that. Exclusive comes with all 3 swords, though, and I believe the column, also (regular does not come with the exclusive sword). That's pretty much why I wanted two exclusives -- to pose with Asmus' Morgul Lord. (Am a little uncertain if I might not want ACI's hooded version instead... Kinda like the only difference between them being subtle cues, like the armour and weapons, as opposed to Morgul's helm.) I was looking at ACI's Ringwraith gallery and it just looks weird to see 3 or 5 Ringwraiths all with the Witch-King's weapons. Maybe they made a mistake and didn't realize until later that there were differences between the two, so they made the reg Wraith exclusive).

Oh right. I saw some unboxing photos of the exclusive and it only had one sword (the non-Witch King one).

Weirdly, even though we call the Witch King's sword his - more than one wraith used it:





And this sword never gets any love:

Oh, good to know about the sword. Guess I didn't need two exclusives after all. :p Looking forward to them arriving as I'm quite confused now what is in the box. Seems kinda stingy if they don't include the 'regular' swords. :(
 
I find hard to see that some swords may be similar from these pics...

Handles are the same

Yeah - I hope you get both. It would be a pretty cheap thing for ACI to do.
 
Are there any good prices left for the standard and the exclusive? I'd love to track down a second exclusive and a normal one for a 3 wraith display. Probably cannot afford it but one can dream.
 
Only place I've seen the standard in stock is BBTS (and luckily there are lots). Not cheap, though, as you say. I'm contemplating selling my Morgul Lord and replacing with a standard Ringwriath. Really starting to like that idea, as Morgul is so specific to ROTK, and not sure if his helm kinda clashes with the Wraith look I'm liking with these guys all together. Will decide once I have the exclusives in-hand.
 
Can someone please post a video of this guy ?? I need more data to pull the trigger on this guy !! PLEASE !
 
I need more data ...

Thanks for the confirmation, bangkok (looks great with a trim, btw). Did it come with the pillar, as well? Doubt that I'd display it, but am curious. Also, do you have Asmus' Morgul Lord to compare to?
 
Thanks guys (&thanks for the rep). it's a simple figure but with the foul appearance it has (with no face and all), it really stands out.

I didn't get the pillar and didn't think I would as the figure was supposed to be sold exclusively in HK, but I raised the question to the local store I made the PO with today and they said they'll get back to me in a few days (they didn't know about this)... So lets see how things go.

Edit: For me the WK does look good on display but the quality isn't there, so I sold it off a few days after receiving it. I won't be doing so with this one :gollum:
 
Thanks for the info, bangkok.

Just heard back from Animarket and they're shipping my two exclusives out today. Can't wait to finally see them in-hand. Surprising that there is as yet no video review for either Wraith. I've still got my Asmus Morgul Lord, so looking forward to making some comparisons, in regards to weapons and armour. Pretty sure I will sell him and put the money towards one of the regular Wraiths at BBTS (and I do kinda want examples of both armours, even if they will be mostly covered). 3 Wraiths and my LOTR collection is done. :p
 
Congrats! thanks for your support!
