Asmus Toys: Witch-king figure

[The Chev]

Is there a comparison shot from the films to see how taller WK is compared to average height person?

 

[SithThundercracker]

I don't think there's a shot where you can see him clearly next to another standard sized human, even if in in Weathertop he doesn't seem very much bigger than Aragorn.
Anyway he still can be a bit undersized...if you compare the two swords in 12" you'll see that Witchking's smaller than Strider's, while movie replicas shows that the Nazgul one is bigger than Narsil (which is bigger than Strider's).

.
But that's means nothing, because maybe the figure is correct and the sword is just small, or Sideshow one is overscaled.

As much as I like this figure (can't wait to receive mine), this pic proves that he is on a standart KP body. KP3 are a bit loose at the chest articulation (floppy for lack of a better word). I can imagine the tape is needed for the Witch-King who is quite top heavy.

I bought a few their muscular bodies for customs and those have the exact same height. I feel the difference in this pic is nothing more than bigger heels and extended ankle pegs. Compare the knee and shoulder height differences, everything is in the boots. Isn't the Witch-King supposed to be huge, more than man-size?

Would really be lame if Gothmog turns out the be the same size as the Morgul Lord. Then again if their Aragorn is slightly smaller thab SS and Gimli has the same quality I am not complaining.

I don't see what you are talking about. Everything I see shows the figure being taller than Aragorn. I still don't see where anyone thinks he is supposed to be this giant. Multiple shots in the movies where he seems like a normal sized person.

Aye they are only standard human size just tall, it's just his helmet that makes him look bigger.

Viggo Mortensen (Aragorn) is 5' 11" (1.80 m) in Height.

Miranda Otto (Eowyn) is 5' 8" (1.65 m) in Height.

I have the UC WK Sword and it's huge. I'm 6'5 and it's huge even for me. I do think the 1/6 WK sword is a tad skinny.

Well then, the WK, not counting his helmet must be around 6'2 or around there by the looks of it. I just remembered that the WK, and the Nazgul were once men, so they wouldn't be super tall begins like Sauron or other really tall or huge characters.

I have the figure in Hand and I can confirm the extra height comes from the legs on this guy. I'm guessing if he was displayed without all the cloth the proportions would look quite silly, but displayed normally you won't really notice. Upper body seems fine on mine in terms of looseness.

Awesome figure, needs a few tweeks from asmus in future but its impressive and I think the height is good, bigger then standard figures but doesn't look out of scale

Greetings, fellow collectors! I'm new here, and found my way via searching the Asmus Morgul Lord.
Been reading all the quirks, the ups & downs, pros & cons; and I gotta say I'm still excited about receiving mine (should ship from AE today)!
I can deal with the joint problem without much fuss, as I've seen it with other figures. Just the reviews I've seen and all the great images outweighs the looseness. Lots of great ideas on fixes, too.
Cheers, all!

How did Alter Ego get their shipment when to the best of my knowledge no other dealers in the U.S have theirs yet?

ETA And welcome Leothren

Yeah, the pro's do outweigh the con's. Like I said pages back. He looks amazing in a collection. I just wish if they were giving us real metal parts they could have wrist joints that support them better. This is defiantly a must own for LOTR fans in 1/6.

I'm really hoping Asmus surprises everyone with the Aragorn Sculpt.

The belt "mistery" is indeed quite simple.
Asmus apprently used SSC Premium Format as a reference for everything, and so this is the correct way to display the scabbard:

.
The loop piece with the buckle should hang from the belt end, being positioned between the other two loops.

My two-loop piece was glued, so I unglued it and tied back to the belt.
Also this piece is too short to obtain the complete vertical position of the scabbard you see on the PF, but that's it.

 

[Crimsonbob]

Thanks for the belt pics i'll adjust mine later

 

[galactiboy]

Guess mine will be here tomorrow... pretty excited to finally have a villain to add to my set-up

 

[robbiethepainter]

Mine was suppose to be but there is some delay through UPS. Now its the 2nd.

 

[galactiboy]

Hmmm... I'm still seeing the 1st for me; hopefully that holds true. I did get excited this morning when I got an email from UPS, but then I remembered the alert always comes a day before it's going to arrive

Both from Alter Ego?

 

[galactiboy]

Mine is from AE.

 

[hoodonit00]

Mine is from AE.

Ugh. In my years of collecting I don't think I've ever been this impatient waiting on a collectible to arrive.

 

[galactiboy]

Where did you order from?

 

[hoodonit00]

Where did you order from?

I went with the best deal I could and ordered from Superpowercollectibles in Canada. I know I will get mine later than most on here but at least I know it won't be long once all the dealers in the U.S get theirs. I just don't know how AE got theirs before other dealers?
