Questions for Asmus

[Asmus]

Radagast please.

He is NOT in our list,
but we do have a suitable body for him now.
which was the reason we didn't include him.

 

[Entropy]

Not trying to make a big deal out of it,
but we are officially back.

Any question is welcome~
I will be around and given the green light to answer everything now.

thanks guys
George

So I assume these new Gollum & Sméagol heads will not be offered separately? I wish I could upgrade my existing figures.

 

[Donovangian]

We have Thranduil almost 100% ready (production) ,
but there are a new license issue, so we are pending on approval for release.

It is happening, but sometime just have to wait... (despite the manufacture is already ongoing.)

After Thranduil what figures are to follow

Uruk Hai?

@Asmus how is Gil-galad coming on? Are you any further along in developing him?

Genuinely, really happy to see you back Asmus.

Can I ask what is the nature of the new partnership with Sideshow?
In the announcement it sounds like they are partially responsible for your return to the Middle-Earth license, so I was wondering what that entailed.

And to be cheeky and ask another question - with Inart now doing LOTR figures and new collectors entering this field since your absence - are there any of your existing figures which have sold out that you are considering either re-releaseing or doing a 2.0 or 3.0 of?

Also as a slightly more "fun" question, are there any projects you have in mind for the future?

 

[Johnny Utah]

Is this sculpt still being used? It was good a year ago, I'm just curious if it has been done again.

 

[ObiGlennKenobi]

Yes someone got a response from them saying they delayed that supposed LOTR product drop a few weeks back to Spooktacular… guess it was Gollum instead!

That was me!!

Just gotta wait and see I guess.
But the announcement...is a welcome one that is Official now.

 

[redxavier]

This is goods news; glad to have more folks doing LOTR figures (well, returning to doing figures in this case). What I'm most interested in from Asmus are figures that we wouldn't likely get from InArt. Obviously that's quite a lot of stuff. I just have some concerns with trying to re-tread old ground or competing directly with the same characters. I guess I'm saying I'd love for Asmus to produce new product that is complementary.

My personal wants are Haldir and/or a 'regular warrior' repaint with a generic headsculpt and cloak, Second Age Numenoreans (Elendil, Numenorean Soldier and Isildur), and a Rohirrim Royal Guard.

Glad to have Asmus back!

Any possibility you can give us an update on the Frodo and Sam updates? Also any news on a potential Eowyn 2.0? I could go on and on with question and wish list items but for now my last question is has there been any more movement in making Uruk Hai’s either named ones or army builders?

Thanks for coming back and being active on the forum again!

One more very, very, very important question for financial planning purposes, any rough idea of how many figures we could expect for 2025?

 

[Asmus]

Yes,
this is the head that is now been mass produced.
In fact, this photo was taken by a final prodect.

All the heads are finished.
rooting hair, painting and everything

I am just one fan/customer but haven't been so happy since I received my first Thorin (and I own multiples of him, beautiful figure and still in perfect condition).

Thank you ASMUS! Thranduil in his berry crown. I own a couple of WETA Thranduils but it's just not the same as a figure. You can't work with a statue, as nice as they may be.

So now, about doing Radagast

 

[Kalkylen]

Yes,
Gil-Galad and Haldir, they are back online

Amazing! Looking forward to seeing them!

After Thranduil what figures are to follow

There are high demand on Frodo Sam Merry and Pippin,
so we are onto making new heads for them right now.

 

[Johnny Utah]

Can you post any closeups of the final Thranduil headsculpt please

So upgrade hobbit heads are on the menu?

 

[Asmus]

I only have a few photos, the design team has the full coverage.
but here is a full body shot I really like

nduil headsculpt please

That’s great news. I was hoping for all 4 but thought it was limited to just Frodo and Sam. Any chance they will include both their Weathertop and post Lothlorien cloaks, blades and knives?
