Asmus Toys: Witch-king figure

[jra81984]

I like it, but I gotta draw the line on this one... once I get into Lord of the Rings theres no turning back

 

[Rexus]

Awesome, preordered already! I hope you guys can really take off and someday rival the other big fish in the biz. I love the concept of the whole line and the variety to come.

A question about the human headsculpts; is Asmus Toys doing anything different than the production of their previous human figures? I know it's probably not possible, but it would be nice to have these close to HT or Enterbay level of realism. As a much smaller company, I understand that may be a little difficult though.

 

[King Darkness]

Nice choice for the body.

Nice choice for the body.

Yep. Believe they made a deal with Kaustic to use their bodies for these figures

Have we heard anything about how many inches tall this figure clocks in at?

He should be about 13.5 inches, right? (Not including the height of the helmet, which I suppose would put him at 15 inches)

35 cm (13.8 inches)
not include that pointy spike of the helmet

 

[King Darkness]

That's even more good news

YES ~!
We work very closely together!
Fell in love the first time we used their body~

Excellent!

So where do we order from?

 

[Protozaius]

So, is Alter Ego or Big Bad Toys gonna carry these? Or is this Monkey on Fire site the only seller of this figure?

Never dealt with them before.

Wow. Asmus has impressed with this release. Gonna have to grab one.

My only beef with the Kaustic plastic body is the limited articulation in the elbow and knee areas.

That said, in an armored figure, it's not gonna matter very much, if at all.

 

[galactiboy]

Weird choice of body... the KP01a is the smaller/oddly proporioned body from Kaustic. I used it for a bash recently, but it's not a tall or particuarly large body And the articulation is pretty limited which doesn't make sense for a figure where every joint is completely hidden

KP01a is the smaller body on the right:

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.

 

[King Darkness]

Oh, I was thinking the KP01 was the 02 I used for Vader. Yeah, that's not as good a choice as I thought.

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.

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.

 

[carbo-fation]

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.
