Dammit! I told myself I was going to skip this one... "DON'T TEMPT ME FRODO!"
Asmus Toys 1/6: Grishnákh

He looks perfect !
Such an improvement on Guritz and Gothmog ( and I have both)!
The evil side is much more interesting to me, on a design standpoint. I enjoy the characters , like Bilbo, Frodo etc. But they're just "regular people"
Orcs, Nazgul , Trolls, Uruks , Sauron - thats the real fun ( on a display standpoint) ! So I heartily applaud Asmus for going with these evil characters, even if minor ones like Guritz and Grishnákh !
Thank you Asmus, you`re delivering
Just a sidenote , the name for the orc in question is Grishnákh , I noticed a little spelling mistake
Agreed!
This figure looks like it might blow away everything before it... and a solid contest against Gandalf.
This looks FANTASTIC!
Bravo, Asmus!
My only quibble -- and mind you this is based solely on ONE photo from ONE angle -- is the placement of the eyes. If they were angled over to one side or angled downward (with some white showing above), he might look a little more intimidating and creepy. But the straight ahead placement makes him look just a little bit like a worried old man.
That's a TINY suggestion but I think it could make him look even better.
That said, I would be more than happy if he looked like this out of the box!

My only quibble is he's going to look so much better than Gothmog and Guritz.
This could very well be my first Orc. Fantastic job.

Ha! Yeah, I almost wish they held off on Gothmog until now -- he'd look insane now.
But this is most promising for characters like Lurtz and Mouth of Sauron.
Good point. Can you imagine Lurtz with this level of detail?
Can you imagine a group of individual looking orcs at this level of detail? Amazing even with only one photo to go by.
I`m glad then, that Lurtz isn't done yet, so we can expect improvements on the next figures
Hopefully they add a little finesse on Thranduil, and maybe some elven warriors
Jeebus!!! That looks amazing!!!

amazing sculpt!! my first orc!!
OMG!!!!! Is this the actual figure and not a photo of the actual actor in the film? It is simply amazing!!!!!
I love the figures I already have from you - Morgul Lord, Gothmog and Guritz/Skully and have ordered Mouth of Sauron and am looking forward to that. But this looks to have taken this art form and elevated it to an entirely new level.
There are advantages you get with your format that go beyond a simply poly statue and it looks like you finally achieved perfection.
This is a must have.
How about a catapult roll from FIVE ARMIES? Or the Stumpy troll who brought down the tower Legolas was on?

Have to say you could have written my post for me as I feel the exact someway about the baddies and the regular characters.

There should be another piece on the leg over the knee (and I could swear the leg armor is what I received as build an orc with Saruman) and probably I'll dye/weather the clothes, but overall this is very good: gorgeous sculpt, several layers of complex materials...I like what I see.
Edit: and of course it's Grishnakh not Grishnaksh.
