Asmus Toys: Nazgûl

[Wor-Gar]

Thanks, Paramore!

But that's weird? Its an actual "head"? Is it an actual neck with a plastic "hood" at the top?

 

[Bucky Underbelly]

Huh. That is odd. I was kind of expecting the "bent spoon" approach that Sideshow used for their Black Rider PF. But as long as I can't see anything in there when I've got this fella posed, I'm fine with it.

Those are some great pics, guys! Thanks so much!

 

[Wor-Gar]

Hope Paramore can explain that thing a little better. I also can't tell if the "shirt" just ends there or if its 'tucked under the neck' like it looks.

 

[Reefer Shark]

Thanks guys. Much happier with him now. Still could do with a bit more futzing.

Hope these help Wor-Gar. iPhone pics.

ohhhh that's where my wifes lost "toy" went


hhahaha


(it's actually a pretty cool way to keep the shape under the hood I think, nice work Asmus)

 

[paramoremcr88]

It's all one piece, it's like an upside down ladle. The shirt is tucked in underneath it.

 

[Wor-Gar]

That's a good description.

I guess as long as it looks OK, its fine... but I find it to be a strange way to do the hood. Seems very limiting -- shape is determined, and you need alot of hang to hide the "spoon".

Enough unseamly talk!

Hi guys, I think everyones expectations are going to be different on this set. I personally think the horse is beautiful and as for the Nazgul if you have the Witch King then you know exactly what you're getting. Theres lots of material and straight out of the box needs a lot of work but its fun. The head piece feels like the Witch Kings as well except all the extra material stuffed inside. A ladle is exactly what the head looks like but mine has virtually no rotation. Its obvious I'm no photographer, and i haven't been able to make room yet in my display case but i will do a couple more shots coz its fun,cheers guys

They look good together too!

 

[Lee in MI]

This seems to have turned out great!

Thanks Wor-Gar

 

[Sankari]

I suppose its an easy fix to use a different fabric for the Nazgul. I know I plan on trying

 

[Lejuan]

CanadianBrandon is getting both this and the ACI version? I'm interested to see them side by side (hint hint)

 

[D..C]

Ive been tempted to get the ACI Ringwraith as well coz it looks fantastic but at $270us shipped when i got this combo for $280us shipped is just to hard to justify to the wife.

 

[Wor-Gar]

280 shipped? Where?

BBTS is 300 before shipping.

Animarket, I preordered first day but i believe its sold out now,
sorry

 

[Lejuan]

Yeh, animarket is sold out. Mine arrived from them today, but we have guests for the long weekend and I have to pretend I don't want to spend a good hour or two indulging in the obligatory unboxing ritual. I briefly inspected the figures but I keep catching the boxes in the corner of my eye, like Christmas presents on the 23rd of December.

 

[Reefer Shark]

im kinda tempted to just get the steed for the ACI wraith I have coming. But honestly I really want to give Asmus as much business as I can, so Im really trying to drum up the extra cash for the full set.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I briefly inspected the figures ...

And....?
