Questions for Asmus

[inyacher]

Fewer accessories. Smaller package. Somewhat lower price.

Thanks for Bucky's conclusion.
Let me give a bit of explanation to the Slim Version. In the past years, we have tried to release a set of double figures like Frodo and Sam (LOTR014S & LOTR015S), it means these two characters will be combine in 1 colour box as 1 item in our design course. But we decide to sperate them in the end before we releasing and redesigned the packing material. So, we create a slim version to mark these figures in that time. Thanks for your understanding.

Sauron is a very difficult character and need to consider a lot of design details. We know a lot of fans waiting for his arrival. We did not arrange it in our schedule this year, maybe in next year.

Thanks for the quick response. Maybe for Sauron you can think outside the box and make it a special project. Determine the cost to produce and the minimum number of buyers to make it worthwhile, then see if enough people back it. If they don't at least you'll have tried and we will all know. I completely understand that this would be a risk for you if you just made it.

Hope it happens sooner rather than later, would certainly be an amazing centre piece for any LOTR fans collection.

Thank you and Bucky for the explanation! Does this mean that you won't re-release slim versions, only full packages like e.g. the new Legolas?

This will be a kind of version, that is just no plan in the recent schedule. Thank you for your inquiry.

Rovi, just to follow up on Wor-Gar's question from earlier, are there any plans from Asmus to celebrate the 20 year anniversary of the Fellowship film? It's ok if not, just wondering if we should keep an eye out for anything.

 

[Stryker2011]

I’m curious about Gollum. Are we ever going to see him? And I know it was said No in the past, but how about Denethor? It would really be a shame not to get one of the last of the secondary characters.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I hope some of these reissues will pay for development of Lurtz and Denethor.

Will the new Legolas headsculpt be available for purchase?

They already responded No.

Will the new Legolas headsculpt be available for purchase?

The answer to your question as worded is yes; but you have to buy the entire figure to get it.

They did respond to the question in the Legolas thread:

Hi, As I know we have no plan to release his head sculpt separately this time. I will recommend you to pre-order this edition if you really like Legolas this character. Thank you for your inquiry.

They did respond to the question in the Legolas thread:

Not to derail the Legolas part, but staying on subject of headsculpts. Asmus has stated in the GtG topic that we SHOULD be seeing an update on the sculpt only option at the end of May. Any updates?

 

[CrankbaitJon]

Asmus, is Black Gate Aragorn still targeted for this year?

Asmus, is Black Gate Aragorn still targeted for this year?

He is not in schedule for this year as I know. Thanks for your inquiry.

 

[DakRen]

He is not in schedule for this year as I know. Thanks for your inquiry.

How about a Uruk-hai or Haldir?

 

[RaZaTrOn]

Asmus, you teased the next Crown Series figure a while ago to be Gandalf the White. Any idea when we might see more information on this and if you will continue the Crown Series?

Hi, thanks for your remind again. We have finished the "Middle-Earth month" for releasing several new LOTR characters in our series and we will take a break then proceed other theme's figures recently. We will have an event for the 20y anniversary indeed, but it may be held in the end of year. Stay tuned!

He is getting ready soon, please keep following and waiting for our latest news.

They are candidates in our design list, but the schedule is not confirmed now, at least this year.

Hi Rovi, can you please let me know when the recent batch of Frodo will be shipped?
I ordered over a week ago, but never heard anything since then. And no answer to my email.
Thank you!
