Questions for Asmus

[Wor-Gar]

Asmus: do you know which figure will be the next to be shipped out? Gandalf or Gurich?

Also, while I'm asking, can you divulge the estimated date of the next preorder?

 

[Asmus]

Ringwrait is likely to be our next pre-order, may be in just 2 weeks.
with the stead.

As shipping, it should be Gurich (late April) than Gandalf (late May).

 

[JonEl]

Cool. Thanks!

Is the armorers part of this line still going to be made or was that put on hold?

 

[Agent23]

Thanks for your replies!

Excellent news!

Thank you very much.

have you guys considered making Bilbo from the first film in his travelling gear?

Ugh, lack of updates is driving me insane.

hi,
it would be a tough choice,
but its likely we will do the young Bilbo for the Hobbit~

Let me try squeeze something out for you tomorrow!

Hope that's not a euphemism for something.. I know it must be tough being in your position not being able to show too much. Just seems like with 2 figures "supposably" being released in a couple months and the Nazgul maybe going up for order soon we would be hearing some news or seeing some production pics. I for one am very anxious to see if the Gandalf head sculpt is going to hold up in the production process. Would be appreciated to hear something, thanks.

ETA Just to add some accolades. I'm 2 for 2 on the released LOTR figures. Although there are some problems here and there for the most part they are awesome figures. Looking forward to future releases.

Wait...you have The Hobbit licence too?

Excellent! I'm already hungry for my next figure. 2 for 2 also (Witchking and Gothmog).

Yes! Hopefully we can put that hobbit body to some good use with Pippin, Merry and Bilbo. If the body ends up being smaller than Sideshows hopefully we can get a new Frodo and Sam to match up with the other hobbits.

A figure of Martin Freeman as Bilbo? Awesome!

 

[Geb]

2 for 2 here also! Can't way for gandalf and skully!

1/6 The Hobbit figures would rock. But Fellowship Bilbo would rock even harder! (No surprise, just look at my Avatar ) Go Asmus!!!

 

[Asmus]

Guys,
got something really sweet this morning exclusive for you!

Its still very very early,
but looks like the artist is on the right track.

Maybe a neutral outfit (non-movie-specific) and both heads?

 

[superdoug]

Doing both heads might get some people to buy multiples but that will increase the cost which might make some people think twice. There are pluses and minus to it but I wouldn't mind seeing two heads for two main reasons, fisrt I wouldn't mind having both versions and second it won't take up another release spot.
