Asmus Toys: Boromir

[BagginsOfBagEnd]

Nice to hear he's in production, but I would love to know if he's going to regular retailers or only available from the Asmus site please.

Same here…I might be getting my hopes up for nothing!

 

[RandomHero]

Yes, it is in our plan, but not a recent one though.

We are also planning Gil-Galad too

When you say not a recent one, what exactly does that mean? Is it possible we will see Haldir and Gil-Galad in 2022? Will they be 2023 releases? I know between Smeagol, Boromir, the Nazgul and Gandalf the White you do have some Lord of the Rings coming, but just curious when we may see some update on our Elven warriors.

Thank you for still listening to us, very excited to see both Haldir and Gil-Galad will be available to us in the future.

Will be very likely be 2023,
even though we can make the development done in time for 2022,
the production will be no sooner to be done in 2023.

But I think I can show updates on the development once started

This is great news and the type of stuff guaranteed to sell well with collectors since it's almost certain that no other company is making a 1/6 Gil-Galad.

This feels like a strong hint we'll also be seeing Elendil at some point, I assume Sauron and Isildur are all but guaranteed to be released

 

[BagginsOfBagEnd]

Elendil and Isildur figures would be awesome. Would be great to have all ‘The Last Alliance’ characters in 1/6 scale.

 

[RandomHero]

Elendil might be tough for them to make since he was over 7 feet tall and would require a new body to scale, but I think Isildur was a more normal size and they can hopefully make him someday without an issue.

 

[Bucky Underbelly]

But I think they'd be going by the movie where Elendil seemed to be average height. I know in the books several characters are extremely tall (particularly the more Numernorean blood they have). I believe going by the book Aragorn and Denethor were both over seven feet tall. Elves in the books were crazy tall, too. But I think it would be fine (and far less confusing to a lot of collectors) to go by the scales the movies established.

Now Sauron ... that bad boy would definitely need a new base body. And I am very much in favor of that!

 

[RandomHero]

That’s fair, I thought for some reason Elendil was tall in the movie too, but now I can’t remember. He wasn’t on screen much to easily recall.

 

[Chopper Face]

Mouth of Sauron should also be near 7 feet tall but his figure is just regular man height.

Elendil, Isildur, Gil Galad and Elrond all appeared about the same height- between 6’1”- 6’3” so the Adam 2.0 body will suffice.

Can’t wait for Gil. I love how my little prologue shelf is coming along.

 

[DakRen]

You didn’t hear ? He fell at Helm’s Deep…

Not in the books

 

[RandomHero]

@Asmus were you ever able to take some pictures of the head for this figure?

 

[Sixth Scale Man]

An update would be appreciated.......and news on other retailers' availability would be awesome.

 

[Asmus]

sorry. don't have anything to show at the moment.

Hopefully we can see a full figure in early July

 

[RandomHero]

That’s…disappointing. But I’m willing to wait and give this figure a chance. I am sure you’ll do a good job.

 

[RandomHero]

Hi @Asmus

Any updates on Boromir? Will you show his figure at Comic Con as well? Is the release window still on target for July as previously mentioned?

 

[CrankbaitJon]

Asmus, any updates on the target release of this? Most of your supporters will also get GtW so we just want to budget it since they will be both in-stock items instead of PO.

 

[RandomHero]

Asmus after seeing my question

 

[Sixth Scale Man]

Guess they’re kinda busy

 

[RandomHero]

Hi @Asmus we’re approaching the end of August and no full figure pictures yet. I know you were looking for early July pictures. Is there anything you can share with us? Any updates? Even though I have the first version I would like to support you and purchase the updated version as well. Anything you can share to help with planning would be great.
