Asmus Toys : Gimli (pre-production discussion)

[Manannin]

I really hope he is a home run. Come on Asmus, I believe in you!

 

[Haldiron]

Not really a reveal though. Come on, Asmus.

 

[FlyAndFight]

Let's see that Dwarf noggin!

 

[Bucky Underbelly]

Is he on display at NY Toy Fair? The Nazgul/Steed 2.0 set is apparently on display there. (A picture was posted in that thread.)

Any other LOTR/Hobbit figure news out of that show?

There are a few photos on the Asmus page of their display and there's nothing unreleased so far, just the Nazgul re-release.

Hi there.

Can anybody provide any more information regarding that 2.0 Nazgul and steed? I am particularly interested in the Steed. The 1.0 version was known to have issues with sculpting and articulation (legs were skinny, wrongly placed, difficult to work with). I am wondering if there is any information as to those problems have been acknowledged and fixed in 2.0. Maybe Mr. Asmus has already provided any data on this?

Thanks buddies.

Haven't swapped out the old Hobbit sculpts for their new ones yet. But damn I'm dying for Gimli to be announced! So close to completing the Fellowship now with this series from Asmus Toys!

 

[Wor-Gar]

That's a great display.... so lets get going with Gimli already, huh Amsus?




Those reissues will sell a lot better once there's a complete Fellowship to be had.

Soooooo......
Yeah.....

May was it?

Yea, without doubt Gimli is the HARDEST character we ever have to do...

It is more than just the armor and body now, it is the root beard. It is all that is left to overcome.

Heck, I'll take a gimli even with a sculpted beard. I just want to add him to the collection!

Out of all the characters in the film series, I personally have always considered these to be the main & supporting characters.

Done
Aragorn, Legolas, Frodo, Sam, Merry, Pippin, Boromir, Gandalf (Grey & White), Saruman, Eowyn, Ringwraith, Morgul Lord, Gothmog

Pending Gimli

That's 16 of the principle & supporting characters done, plus a couple of orcs.

Remaining
Sauron, Old Bilbo, Elrond, Arwen, Galadriel, Lurtz, Haldir, Celeborn? (maybe)
Theoden, Eomer, Wormtongue, Faramir, Golum/Smeagol
Denathor

Certainly passed the half way point. Of course I have no idea what Asmus long term plans are, but they have well surpassed my expectations after the poor show by Sideshow. Thanks Asmus for all the hard work

Thanks for the update, it keeps the hope alive! I’m very much looking forward to a full fellowship! I know you won’t disappoint with Gimli.

One tough little dwarf, as in keeping with his character.

Going to be a very big day when he is ready to be unveiled. Can't wait!

Can you believe its been 5 years already?

 

[Bucky Underbelly]

Five years and what ... 16 figures? 17?

There have been ups and downs along the way, but I certainly appreciate all the effort, Asmus!

!!!!!!!!!!! I just jumped for joy! And my wallet is crying in a corner.



And yes we need Lurtz!

 

[Manannin]

That’s some awesome news! But I also agree, Lurtz would be a great addition before moving on from FOTR
