Any chance of a Tauriel 2.0?

Unfortunately she is not in our 3 year plan... but I am sure we would love to have another go

 

[Johnny Utah]

When will you reveal the figures from your teaser two weeks ago?

Very eager to see Snake and Hannibal.

Also, Sideshow showed your new Deadite Ash at their event last week, but are you making a new regular Ash from Evil Dead 1 or 2?

And yes we have another regular Ash in our next year's plan.

What about Eowyn 2.0?

@Asmus

This is both a "any plans for..." question as well as a suggestion.
But any chances on a Elrond in his iconic Council Robes?

 

[Kodaiv]

Any chance of seeing Lurtz?

Hi Asmus! So glad you're back in the Middle-Earth game! We've missed you!

1) You mentioned that new versions of the hobbits are in your plans. Would they be in the same FotR outfits you've previously released? Or are you thinking of possibly doing their armored versions from RotK? Or both?

2) With the entry of InArt into the LotR figure market, do you have any plans to lean even more heavily into features that are seen as "more high-end"? Like rooted hair or moving eyes? (I know you've done some of this in the past, but I'm wondering if there are plans to do a lot more of it. Also, I'm not asking because I personally WANT you to, I'm asking if that's something you're planning to do as a company to keep competitive in the marketplace.) Or will your primary concern be to keep production costs (and consumer prices) lower?

3) What is Sideshow's involvement in your Middle-Earth figures? Do they have a creative role? Sculpts? Bodies? Clothes? Or is it more of a distribution arrangement?

Anyhow, those are just a few of the questions that have been knocking around my brain. WELCOME BACK!

 

[MarkKing]

Any chance for an Army Darkness S-Mart Ash?

Don’t you tease me!

 

[Johnny Utah]

We need Medieval Ash, Evil Ash and S-Mart Ash.

 

[ObiGlennKenobi]

We need Medieval Ash, Evil Ash and S-Mart Ash.

We also need Lurtz-Ash,Sauron-Ash and Haldir-Ash

On a revisit if the Hobbits, are you considering correcting their scale so they are more accurately sized to the human characters?

 

[Sixth Scale Man]

@Asmus - No questions, just wanted to say welcome back and thanks for reconnecting with collectors. There's obviously a bunch of us that want to see you guys succeed and release some much desired figures. I think there's room for both InArt and you guys in Middle Earth

This is a great question.

We had debates internally on the head size of our hobbits figures.

What we intended to is to keep "childern in your eyes" scale, so the head size was abot a 12 year old kid.
But I think this time we will make an adult head size.

 

[superdoug]

Wait when you say adult size head do you mean the same size head as the 12” figure or adult sized head scaled down to the hobbit size figure?

Adult head size proportionally shrink down to a smaller body.
