Questions for Asmus

[Asmus]

Sorry. Just hoping for some clarification ... is that a yes or a no?


Thank you again for listening!

I say it is a no at this stage.

Gotcha! Thank you!

(Sorry for being dense!)

That's unfortunate. If only ACI was making a Legolas. Guess I'll just have to wait and see what Elve-is does to replace the sculpted hair with rooted hair.

I want Thranduil because I'm not paying Gentle Giant or WETA prices for a figure of Lee Pace.

 

[jankatana]

Molded hair it is then, please no wind effect like toybiz did, just straight and beautifully detailed

 

[Johnny Utah]

Asmus - use the Toybiz Helms Deep Legolas for reference.

 

[jankatana]

Not for the sideways hair i hope, great figure though still got it

Asmus - use the Toybiz Helms Deep Legolas for reference.

You could wait until Hot Toys makes him in the GotG line (wrong character, but still Lee Pace).

I'm worried they won't be doing a Ronan (or Nebula) figure.

I'd still want a Thranduil figure anyway. He just looks epic.

 

[Wor-Gar]

^^^ given your name, I'd say you just have a thing for men with long blonde hair and dark eyebrows.

 

[Asmus]

We asked the artist to check Hot Toys Thor (Dark world)
as reference, it has a really really awsome hair

Me too. They better make a Ronan. I want him as an HT more than anyone from that movie as any kind of collectible. That character just screams to be made as a Hot Toy.

Lee Pace is friggin awesome. I loved Ronan before I knew it was Thranduil playing him. So different.
Mancrush much.

 

[Johnny Utah]

He was good as Ronan but you can't see the likeness of him under all that makeup. Thranduil looks like him in a wig. Awesomeness!

I'd even get a figure of him from Halt and Catch Fire. If you haven't seen him in it, watch it. It's a great show.

Nah, man. Slytherin's just my House. That's where all the cool kids are at.

I'd like Hobbit figures in general tbh... Thranduil, Bard, Bilbo, etc. I wonder if there's really any chance of getting them, though. If not, I might just buy some WETA statues. Better than nothing. Customs would be too difficult given the complexity of the costumes.

 

[Darklord Dave]

They have said they are planning the smaller characters - sourcing the bodies has been an issue though.

 

[jankatana]

Hunting now for the SS Frodo and Sam, if Asmus realy arent remaking them as hinted.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I guess the Legolas they are making is from Hobbit? So technically they are not retreading on SS Legolas from LOTR.

If Asmus makes a great Hobbit body, maybe they will sell them individually so we can all replace the Sideshow Hobbit bodies.

 

[Bucky Underbelly]

Did they say Legolas was from The Hobbit? Personally, I wouldn't mind at all if they redid all the figures that Sideshow released. I like the Sideshow figures and still have them all on display (including poor Faramir), but they could all do with an upgrade. Plus, I think they've mixed it up enough by feathering in a bunch of other characters at this point so I doesn't feel to me like they're double-dipping.

 

[Johnny Utah]

For nostalgia sake I would prefer Legolas in his garb based on his very first Toybiz figure. Collecting those figures as each film came out was really great.
