Asmus Toys: Witch-king figure

[lerath666]

You have spoken our midn!

For Aragorn, we will be alternating the elbow joint.

But for now,
since Morgul Lord has that bicep armors, it doesn't really matter if the elbow can bend any more.

Same deal with the knees I'm guessing?

that being, you'll be getting new knees for characters who aren't wearing armor?

Awesome news! I was about to email them and ask them if they were.

I will be pre-ordering this the second they bring it up for pre-order.

Can't wait to get this in hand and to see what's next! I don't know too much about the bodies so I don't have much to say there except that from the pictures it appears to be better than the old Sideshow bodies.

Kaustic plastic bodies are actualy VERY good. about as sturdy as a hot toys body, at a somewhat lower price. Some articulation limitations, however, in the instance of the witch-king, his armor would be limiteing it anyways, so nothing is lost.

Everything is better than the old Buck body.

Articulation for this figure needs to be minimal since he was very static in the movie. Hardly any dynamic movements.

Disagree. part of the fun of him having articulation at all, is putting him into poses period. if you want ot do things the character didn't do, but should realisticly be possible given the design, why limit it?

That said, he works as is. he has all the articulation he could realisticly use given his armor.

Holy Cow!!!
BOUGHT!!!

Not too crazy about the body... it's a bit small IMO...
Should've gone with the KP02 ...
I'll get it regardless!

And it's about time we got some LOTR baddies in 1/6!!!
!

Right think this has put the nail in my predator collecting

Impressive figure

 

[lerath666]

Very glad I swore off All hot toys that aren't star wars after the Hulk.

 

[Wor-Gar]

NICE!!!!

Finally, villains....

 

[Niltusk]

Looks great!

Body wise, I think the proportions are perfect for his height.

Nah, that would have been way to bulky. I think the diameter of the body is fine on this but a less articulated body is generally not a good idea on figures like this.

Still if the worst thing about this is a swap bodies I'll be a happy camper.

That looks phenomenal! It seems like 2013 could be the year to beat for collectors. I've got plenty to look forward to with all of the DC stuff that various companies are tackling, as well as a few custom projects, Star Wars guys are getting a new Vader, and Lord of the Rings is making a resurgence. What a day it is.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Worst case: I have a Frankenstein body that is 14" tall that I could use here.

 

[Bucky Underbelly]

I just need him to be able to hold the classic "come get a taste" pose with his arms outstretched to the sides holding the mace and the sword.

 

[FLOSI]

BBTS will carry this~

MOFTS is our distributor.

But please do ask your usual dealers too, we would love to have more people carry it for us.

Any idea when they might start to take pre-orders? There's nothing there at the moment.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Funny he's listed under HEROES of....

Yeah, noticed that two. I guess that catagory is for specific individual characters?

 

[The Josh]

If I remember correctly basically it gather both good guys and bad guys under the same label.

 

[Niltusk]

Yeah, noticed that two. I guess that catagory is for specific individual characters?

If you look under categories it says that Heroes stands for heroes from all sides.

That's what I was thinking too.

Yeah, I already checked BBTS this morning.
As soon as it's confirmed up for PO - I'm there.

The body is a hair over 13 3/4". Put the war mask on it and this is going to look huge. Wonder if Cotswold may carry this?

Cotswald should. They have updated it on their Facebook page. That's where I plan on getting it.
