Asmus Toys: Legolas @ The Battle of Helm's Deep

[Sassafras]

So I went ahead and called PC. The I guy i spoke to had no eta to provide me, but confirmed their po's for legolas had indeed filled up. He suggested to call again in a few months. Bit of a blow off if ever i heard one! A refund was mentioned but i used lots of pennies on this purchase so I don't want to lose them.

Shipping is a total mess now....
'Every ship is full': Ocean issues expected to continue through 2023

• Shippers should expect no relief for the rest of 2022 as many structural issues in ocean transportation have yet to be solved, experts at the TPM22 and TPMTech Conference, produced by The Journal of Commerce in Long Beach, California.
• "We don’t see the tide turn in 2022," said Thorsten Meincke, board member for ocean and air freight at DB Schenker. Meincke said infrastructure problems, labor constraints, high demand and reduced capacity will continue to trouble the market.
• Vessel delays will also remain a challenge for shippers. "Every ship is full. And there's no ship ready to come on the next voyage. So I think that goes on for a while," said Ronald Widdows, CEO of FlexiVan Leasing.

Sideshow sent a notice my Legolas DX will final charge soon. I dunno if that means he will ship - I guess? Like I've paid off the Argonath (WETA) and it won't even show up - supposedly - until this fall. Everything is *&^% up, and I don't have much on PO anyway. Doesn't seem like much point, it's like stuff won't show up until 2023 anyway!

Thanks for the update. Guess it’s just a waiting game. I used a bunch of pennies and a voucher on this too, so I’ll just have to sit tight.
It was kinda frustrating that Sugo got him in a couple of months ago and quickly sold out. I thought “cool, shouldn’t be too long for PC to get him in then”…..argh.

Horrible enablers on this forum. So Legolas came in yesterday from SSC; beautiful fig; beautiful details. Can definitely say - as a diorama fan - I am glad I went for the DX version, it's a great diorama well worth the cost, with the paint and weather effects. Heavy, but think it adds a lot to the display. ASMUS has its usual beautiful details. I have a few nits; but glad to finally have him in hand. To me Legolas looks a bit Asian, sort of like the first Arwen did, but I can see Orlando Bloom there. No regrets on the purchase and it's good to have another Legolas to put with Thranduil. Or Gimli and Aragorn.

Cheers! Hope you enjoy the figure too. Rewatched a couple of unboxing vids and I think he’s going to look great with the others. Already worked out some futzing and posing ideas. I had Arwen ordered as well, so I’m very happy.
With these and Gollum, Bilbo, Nazgûl and Boromir still coming, 2022 is my year of LOTR!

Just in time for their 20% off site wide sale.

Elf on the shelf!
I’ll post more pics later, but I’m really impressed. The likeness is much better in hand.

Looks really great ssm, nice dynamic pose you have him in too! Hope to open and pose my one soon, but at least he finally arrived

Thanks RM. I've changed the pose for now since it wasn't 100% stable. Might pick up one of those dynamic stands later.
Glad yours arrived too. Hope you like it as much as I do. To me he's totally Orlando Bloom displayed on the shelf with top down LED lighting.

It's frustrating that Asmus gave him the Mirkwood style fletchings on his arrows rather than the Lorien ones.

This is not bad at all. The likeness is a lot better in hand.

a little help for optical20 so you don't have to crane your neck...

 

[Sixth Scale Man]

I like it very much

 

[BagginsOfBagEnd]

Nice photos, I agree I think it’s a pretty good likeness too, a great looking figure.

Thank you, not sure why for the life of me I can’t straighten the picture. But yeah I was so pleased with how this turned out I bought faramir and crown Gandalf.

Thank you I really appreciate that, there's not a whole lot of LOTR 1/6 videos out there so I try to get them all when I can.

On that note I hope you like this, I have two more on the way as I got a little trigger happy lately, Asmus reignite my passion again with these releases.
