Ooh, I hope so. I ordered directly with Asmus and haven't gotten the email notice to pay the balance yet. Keeping fingers crossed!

They said on facebook it should be "no later than October".

Heck, SSC hasn't even sent my Gimli yet.

Not like I will complain about my most wanted Hobbit character tho.

The date on this site has changed to December now.

The date on this site has changed to December now.

Not super surprised, but still ...




That said, the previous date on that site was the very end of Q3 and this is now the end of Q4. I'm guessing that might be an automatic website update and not necessarily driven by specific info from Asmus. Hopefully that means he (and Bilbo) will show up sometime before the very end of December.

Well, I can wait. A few months is a mere blink in the world of 1/6 scale .

Seriously I'd rather not have ASMUS rush with all those details. As it is even HT has some IMO impressive wait periods - like War Machine not being out until 2020 and Ragnarok Loki not even out till next year.

Meanwhile I can work on displays and budgets. Plus, assuming Thorin shows up December-February, at least in my area he could be brought outside for some awesome photo ops in the ice and snow. Something to work with when it is all nasty out.

Guess it's a good thing I ordered Gimli to at least have one dwarf in the house.


Suppose this means Bilbo is delayed as well. SSC ship delay notice this morning:

We wanted to let you know that the shipment of your Thorin Oakenshield Sixth Scale Figure item will be delayed. Based on the latest production information, we now expect your item to arrive into our warehouse in Jan 2019 to Mar 2019.

We apologize that this date has been modified but we look forward to shipping out this item to you when it arrives

So the beginning of next year is a killer for me Thorin, Bilbo and Ecto 1 plus a few others lol

Doesn't surprise me that Sideshow is moving their estimate to Q1 2019. Seems like they're getting their shipments pretty late with Asmus stuff. Some folks who ordered Gimli through them still don't have him yet. I ordered directly through Asmus, so hopefully he'll be coming sometime this month or next ...

Yeah, maybe I'll finally get Ragnarok Loki after a 2 year wait; Bilbo and Thorin, IW Cap and Bucky and maybe a few others. I dunno maybe there's a run on the factories capable of doing this kind of work?

I’m not sure on the factory aspect of it.
Asmus said they hope to have Thorin in stock for Christmas

 

[Life_m2000]

Asmus posted a pic of the production head sculpts on FB today. For some reason pic won’t up load for me if someone else would like to do the honors.

I'm not getting this but the sculpts look great.

I have it on PO. Hope he arrives this side of Christmas. That would be both him and Bilbo. Might try make a diorama for them.

 

[Kalkylen]

Looks awesome

Oh, cool - thanks for posting! Far as I can tell love this sculpt. Thorin and the prosthetic use - I'd think it'd be hard to pick a very specific look. Now give him great hair LOL - I can't wait to get my most-wanted Middle Earth fig in hand (more than one, too...)

These sculpts and paint look amazing and they remembered the larger dwarf ears, too!

 

[Lumos]

Nice. Looks like they really nailed his sculpt, unlike a few other characters. Still have my fingers crossed for second releases of the weaker figures.
