Yeah, I agree with this. The base just looks out of place to me, mostly because why would he be on the top of the battlements...? It doesn't really work as a base since it's a miniature.

It all comes down to how much we want these.
I was opted for the deluxe but from my understanding the horse would be 40cm high without the nazgul on it. My shelves has 35cm and my top shelf 40cm. So only thing i could do is place the horse on the top shelf with the nazgul in front. With Nazgul its simply to high sadly. Edited a picture on how that looks. Or just get the regular nazgul and safe some $$$ but then again might regret not getting this beautiful horse
Not sure if the scale is 100% correct, but you get the picture.

Main problem with this (aside from the price being so high for a headless figure with only a few accessories), is that the preorder window happens at the same time with Legolas.
People will review the pricing and put their budget on Legolas instead, one of the main characters, with a great likeness of the actor.
Maybe people will just compromise using the asmus Nazgul instead and placing it at the background..
If that’s the case, will this be a rare figure in the future.. that I regret not having?
One click away from preordering the dx here. Please stop me.

Asmus steed was crazy rare in the end and went for 500+ on eBay (with nazgul) too.
So it us not like asmus is an option for steed or super inexpensive

That is sadly true.
I’m fortunate that I have the asmus steed, and it’s one of their best products.
That, at least, is holding me back from preordering this dx Nazgul.
And the standard is too expensive for just the figure.
Although I have to say the look of this Nazgul is so much better than the asmus one.
Very very tempting.

The problem I had with the Asmus steed, and why I ultimately unloaded the 5 I had, was that the leg stance was too narrow and tapered inward. It was tough to get it in any decent poses.
I will probably order one of these. If the horse were semi-posesble so that you could have a variety of looks I might order multiples, but having several in the same stance would look odd.

Oh yeah, that is true.
I can't display that steed without a base with a gripping claw.
Also one of the ankle tend to just fell off.
But that's asmus. I'm used to it.
I like that it's articulated, and flocked so it helps to hide the articulations.
InArt steed, the sculpt is amazing. Love to have it, but just the wrong timing. There's Legolas, the BW Ghostbusters reissue, and Samurai Predator.
Things I've missed back then, ghost of the past.. now back to haunt me.

Sorry if this has been answered but do we know if this will fit on horse in a Detolf?

The horse appears to stand about as high as a standard figure on its base judging by the below image- which means it’s probably only about 33cm tall.
With the rider on top, it will surely surpass 40cm though.
Edit: Better size comparison-
The base is a deal breaker for me on the Nazgul. I would only want him if mounted on a marsh or woodland base. What's the point of getting a hyper-realistic figure only to display him on a stylized base? And they just came out with some really nice looking marsh/woodland bases - why didn't they just do the same thing for this figure?

Thanks appreciate it. So i proberly have to display the horse separate from the Nazgul wich is a shame. Still it could look awesome as a stand alone piece with the Nazgul in front of the horse
Looks like I could get the deluxe for $550 shipped from Popcultcha as I have a 10% off coupon. Tempting.

I agree with those who don't like the base, I really don't like it, it's too tall and looks awkward for a figure, I wanted a base like a grassy mound or something so I could have other figures next to it more naturally. I'm leaning towards getting it but I wish the horse could stand without a base.

Yeah, always seems to be last with HT though not sure if that would be the case with InArt. Did they sell Gandalf or Aragorn?
There's lots of Youtube tutorials out there on how to make a convincing dirt road base. Boylei Hobby Time is a good one to watch for techniques.
And I'm sure Cocoboloby/Display Heroes will offer something as well.
I'm assuming the base and horse are separate pieces that maybe key together? With a metal rod and slot? Like typical polystone statues? If so, I'm hopeful some enterprising base-makers around these parts might offer up some better options....
