Asmus Toys : Lord of the Ring thread

[Bucky Underbelly]

Yeah, I could see maybe getting one generic figure to represent each group. I wouldn't want a huge crowd of figures, but one figure per army, fully kitted out with all the armor and weapon options would be very cool.

Display for STGCC. pretty sure those are merry and pippin in the background to the right

 

[CanadianBrandon]

Yep! That's definitely Merry and Pippin in the background! Freaking awesome!!!
Also did you see the photo with Gandalf sitting on his carriage?

 

[Snakey Jones]

yep, i'll post it in the appropriate thread if someone hasn't beaten me to it.

Who is standing to the right of the Bard and who is standing with Merry and Pippen? Maybe Gil-Galad?

 

[Bucky Underbelly]

Whoever that is with Merry and Pippin seems to have a staff of some sort. I thought maybe Thranduil? But I think all of his outfits are ankle-length. Or is that a bow?

That's definitely silver armor on that forearm, though. ROTK Faramir?

Hmm ... That's a puzzler...

Pretty sure Gil-Glad has a blue cape, silver armor, and a spear like weapon. Just a guess though.



Comparing this pic though to the other I can't say I see the weapon curve at all like the still from the movie.

 

[Bucky Underbelly]

As for the rest of the lineup in the background, it looks like most of what that they've released and/or put up for pre-order thus far.

From right ... WitchKing, Gothmog, Guritz, Ringwraith, Eowyn, Gandy White (Probably. Hard to see. It could be Saruman), Tauriel, Aragorn, Bard ... and I believe that last one is one of the steeds.

No Mouth of Sauron in this shot. Probably have him set up by himself like GtG and his cart. I would bet they've also got Saruman set up with the Palantir.

NEED MORE PICS!

 

[hoodonit00]

I'll be glad to see more pics but will be a little disappointed if we don't see a couple more new figures. I know that sounds rude but I'm just digging this line.

Huh. You're right ... the colors match. I think his spear would be much longer, though. That said, it could be a totally different accessory. What a strange choice of figure that would be!


What about Boromir in his Osgiliath armor? I think he had a bluish/grayish cape ...

This one's got me pretty well stumped.

 

[hoodonit00]

Someone pointed out on FB that Thranduil has a staff so it could be him like you suggested Bucky.

 

[Snakey Jones]

yep:

It's really hard to make out any details of the staff in the STGCC pic; but i'm going with Thranduil.

 

[SithThundercracker]

Cape is too short almost for every character...

 

[pixletwin]

I dig the Hobbits and Gandalf. But dang, Aragorn still looks terrible to me.

 

[mikvnd]

Pretty sure it's Thranduil look at the arm Thranduil - the best warrior in the Middle-Earth by Menkhar on DeviantArt

Even the latest pic with Bard and Tauriel?

 

[superdoug]

Agh! I am stuck out of town this weekend so all I can see is through my little phone screen.

I am super excited though!

 

[hoodonit00]

Damn they look good enough to buy right here.

And we have Thranduil. He looks great minus his head but I'm trying to stay away from The Hobbit line. I do believe though they need to do something with his shoes. These look very simple and not like images I've googled. Hopefully the clothing is very rough now because the color is wrong to.

 

[superdoug]

Oh man. My wife is going to kill me. I have slimmed down my collection so much but I cannot resist Middle Earth and they are cranking them out now. Remember the gap from the Witch King announcement till we had the second figure in our hands.

I really hope the hobbits have sturdy bodies. Hopefully ankle rockers too.

 

[MaxGoof]

PIPPIN!!!!

Is that cloak accurate, though?
