Next Lord of the Rings figure...?

[superdoug]

Yikes. I hope every thing works out. I have really enjoyed the great variety of LOTR figures you have been able to produce.

 

[RandomHero]

Yes, it would be the focus for the next phase of our LOTR series.
However, we are not receiving well from the licensee. I do not know why, but many of our LOTR projects are put on hold for this reason.
(Warner Bro... I think they have their hands full right now.)

I'd also like to know a bit more about this. I assume you need Warner Bros approve on any prototypes you create before they can be announced. It sounds like they are just not getting back to you, is that the case?

It does feel like there has been a major slowdown with your LOTR line, which has been disappointing, especially with a competitor now. It does sound like Thranduil and Gil-Galad are still going ahead and we will know more about these soon, but there was talk of Haldir, Eowyn, and Saruman, are those still in the works?

 

[superdoug]

Really hoping Eowyn 2.0 and Haldir get made too.

There have been rolling waves of layoffs and reorganizations behind the scenes at WB since Discovery took over two years ago (and also when AT&T was in charge before that). Would not surprise me if the licensing departments at WB are in flux behind the scenes causing delays in approvals to licensees. Don't know that for certain, but wouldn't be surprised.

I’m going to miss this nonsense once the news officially hits that the Haldir figure is cancelled.

Be a shame for you if it happens

Still. . .

Warner Bros is a mess. It will be some time for it to regain its footing.

Really sad that Lurtz is finally on Asmus "table" and its WB that's dragging its feet.

 

[Chopper Face]

Lurtz hitting a roadblock is better than being roadkill. At least it sounds like he’s still coming, eventually.

Now we just need to convince Asmus to make him a Crown release with real hair, leather armour, seamless arms (with metal endoskeleton,) plus a swap out severed/stump arm, and two sculpts/ smirking and snarling/roaring.

Honestly, I feel a well executed, premium Lurtz could become Asmus’ best ever release- if done right.

!!!!!! I wasn’t going to go for the new Thranduil but I think I’m sold. Holy Haldir !

Side note - I hope they take those wires out of the sleeves so we can let the material fall freely.

 

[RandomHero]

Holy Haldir !

Sigh....
