Asmus Toys: Elrond

[Kalkylen]

While I love this figure in my collection, I feel that there are some proportions issues with the size of the hands and the scale of Hadhafang. It looks too thin and short. Even compared to box art, the sword etched Tengwar begins close to Elrond?s face but in the same position on the released figure, it sits much lower. Compare to these reference shots.View attachment 477772

Yeah the sword is definitely slightly too small. It was undersized for Arwen but it is way more noticeable with Elrond. Also, Asmus has been using the same gloves hands all the way back to the first Mouth of Sauron figure...definitely time to make the hands more specific to each character at this point like, extra tooling or not.

Mine will not do it either. I suspect that this is a production problem, I am still waiting for Asmus' response. I guess they will fix it soon, in ASMUS I trust. This is the lotto of first batches indeed...

I hope everyone at Asmus is healthy. Seems like they've gone awfuly quiet

 

[DarkAllen]

so i got a reply from Asmus and they said that to push the sword in and it should be fine. If any damage to sword/shealth than to message them

You might want to try warming up the scabbard with a hair dryer first. That might make it a bit more pliant.

Checked the sword/scabbard on mine and it fit fine. I did notice that the upper quarter-inch part of the scabbard splits to allow the sword to slide in easier.

It appears to be designed that way.

I think the actual scabbard designed for the film has that same split. It's a problem with scabbards for curved or flared blades. The one for Orcrist is the same way.

any pictures of poses? Looking for some ideas for a pose with both flag and sword same time.

Look back a page. Username Pizza has some great pics that look really natural. I'm not sure how to pose both without it looking real unnatural.
