Asmus Toys: Witch-king figure

[FLOSI]

It must be close to sold out through AE too. They mentioned it being a hot seller in the news letter.

So with the $15 off for RP my order from AE came to about $162 shipped. Not bad... hope the final pieces is as nice as these images

Pre-Order SOLD OUT at BBTS!

This thing is selling well!

 

[Geb]

Selling well is GREAT news for both Asmus and Us, the fans! Bring on more figures...please!

 

[FLOSI]

For sure!

What else did they say was on the slate? GTW, Aragorn, Gimli and Chewed Bubble Gum Face?

Yeah, that was the list I recall.

If Gandalf is well done I'd have a hard time not adding him. He's really become one of my favorite characters ever.

 

[The Josh]

I'm with ya. If its done well enough ill get it. I'm being very play it by ear with this line. Gandalf is one of my favorites ever no doubt.

I hope this turns out awesome for you guys. I passed on this one, but am very interested in the others that are in the que.

Good human likenesses will be the making or braking of this line IMHO.

So far so good...the next one will be more or a challenge though...hope they nail it.

 

[galactiboy]

I'm guessing Gothmog (aka Chewed Bubble Gum Face) will be next since they included what looked like a complete figure in the images for the Morgul Lord.

 

[The Josh]

That makes sense plus it allows for more time to get the human likenesses down.

Lots more room for error with a puss like this:

I'd actually like them to focus on the non-human likenesses for a good long while so they can really get their feet under them and work out any bugs in their development and production process before tackling the tougher portraits.

 

[FLOSI]

I think they can do Gimli. I mean, he's 75% hair.

Very true. Same with Gandalf or Saruman.

But I'm a little nervous that Aragorn is coming up so soon on their list. Viggo has been an extremely tough likeness to capture for all sorts of companies. I really don't want to see them lose their momentum after this great beginning.

On the other hand, if they do manage to nail it, then that's great news for all of us!

Thanks for the heads up, I just placed my order at AE. Don't want to miss this one.

Pre-Order SOLD OUT at BBTS!

Wow! That bodes well. Means there is at least some intrest in a Lord of the Rings line. Since bbts doesn't charge fee if you axe your order it doesn't mean these will remain sold but still it is a good sign that the line might have legs.

Kind of wishing I had ordered two instead of one.

Yes which is why I hope they put out at least a couple non-humans first to at least have enough of a line going that one bad human likness won't kill the line.

Personally I would put out Gothmog or an Uruk-Hai next and then maybe Gimli since most of his face is hidden (although this would mean a new body type so they might want to hold it off until they are ready to take a stab at Merry and Pippin).

I love everyone's thinking here!

Gothmog is my personal fav. Here kitty, kitty.
