ASMUS toys: Mouth of Sauron

[FlyAndFight]

Mouth of Sauron looks fantastic in that video. I also love Gandalf and his horse drawn cart. Great details with the fireworks.

Just got an e-mail from Sideshow pushing my final Flex payment back another month to January.

Not unexpected. Fine by me. Looking forward to getting this creepy freak in hand, though.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I need the month, good news.

If they are going to do the cart, they will need a lot more fireworks to fill that space which looks rather empty.

As much as I love the Jackson Middle-earth films, the fireworks cart that Mike Kaluta designed and painted years ago and was in a Tolkien Calendar was the best ever.

Hmmm...this one?

Exactly!!! Well done. That is one of my favorite Tolkien inspired illustrations. To bad PJ did not steal it for FELLOWSHIP.

Seems a bit over the top for the style they were going for with the movies. It's a nice design though.

looks too santa claus-ish.

Where's the Mouth release pics...?

 

[Wor-Gar]

Same question, different month: Where's the Mouth release pics...?

Shhh! They're too busy showing pictures of Merry and Pippin! Let them have their moment! Sheesh!

Haha hold on now it's a fair question. Considering he asked the question the first time long before the Merry and Pippin photos came out.

I would like to see some photos of the MOS as well, considering they avoided posting the Tauriel photos till after she was released and then we all found out why...I'd love some assurance that MOS won't be the same.

The proto pics of MOS looked freaking amazing so it would be great to see how the finished product looks.

Also are the hobbits now being shipped before MOS?

Looks that way because they already billed me for the rest of the payment for the 2 Hobbits. The MOS is currently in limbo it seems, so the lack of updates tells me they're running into a production issue. All well and good, except for people who paid deposits up front. I'd rather Asmus fix any production issues, rather than get another Ringwraith or Morgul Lord fiasco.

I don't remember seeing any pics of Saruman before being released. I think there was that scary in the box photo that came out first that had everyone including me worried. In the end Saruman turned out great. Let them take their time... And I am one of the ones who paid up front so they bettet not cut corners on this.

You're right they didn't post a photo of Saruman before hand either and he turned out great.

I also paid upfront for MOS. I would always rather a company get a figure right instead of getting it out "on time".

That being said I still like to see photos

 

[ImABarRoomHero]

Well, just got my notice that this is pushed back another 1-2 months....

 

[sixxshooter]

From who ? SSC ? I have it preordered as well .

Yep expected warehouse date is now April-May.

 

[ImABarRoomHero]

Just received an e-mail that my final payment will go through April 25th.

 

[Bucky Underbelly]

Yup. Got my e-mails this morning, too. Currently the final Sideshow Flex payments for Mouth, Bard and Tauriel are now all set for April. Fingers crossed this one sticks. Sideshow has pushed the whole group back four or five times now.

Though Saruman is shipping now and it looks like Aragorn will finally ship this month. So it seems like Sideshow's getting their shipments sorted out at last. Here's hoping!
