Questions for Asmus

[DumDum]

Among all the Ringwraith releases, is Witch king is worthy doing again?

Absolutely! One of the coolest looking villains in fiction imo! Definetely a must buy for me (would be cool if he had a Minas Morgul base or diorama as a bonus).

They could approach a Bag End door the way InArt are providing the Gryffindor common room; several combining dioramas included with dx versions of a few characters.

Parts of the common room make sense for each member of the Potter trio though, whereas Bag End is quite specific to Frodo, Bilbo, and Gandalf the Grey and only a Frodo seems to be getting a new figure.

Personally, I'd prefer Sauron, but I'd be cool with a 2.0 of this fella.

The next in line Crown series for LOTR is actually Saruman.
it is a completely remake, from head to toe.

We are still thinking about the diorama, is it going to be the throne or the Palantí and the atlar

Definitely the Palantir + altar IMO but that's because I just won't be able to find the space to display his throne.

Among all the Ringwraith releases, is Witch king is worthy doing again?

Absolutely. He's a must have to pair with the Crown Gandalf the White.

I‘d love Asmus to do the important, but often neglected, secondary characters; esp. Council Elrond, Wormtongue, Denethor. They are all so crucial to the story and iconic in their own right!

Please Asmus team, consider this:
1)Galadriel
Your Galadriel is already am amazing figure, but the possibility to get ther with the crown, he council dress is a must buy. Also look at Weta, they made 4 Galdriel's already, she is one of the most wanted characters, it is always a win for you.
2)Elrond
It is already pretty hard to get Elrond figure, the prices are too high. Also the outif you did is going to fit only The Last Alliance shelf. It would be so awesome to have a new full rooted Elrond in his golden/burgundy armour from the Hobbit movies to match the line of the Elven Rulers ( Elrond, Thranduil, Gil-galad, Galadriel) with full rooted hair.
3)Legolas
Inart are doing their own version of Legolas right now. But none ( Not even Weta) did him in his noble outfit from the beggining of the DoS, this armour was so unique.
4)Sauron
Well, it is not easy to do, but everyone who loves LOTR would buy Sauron. I can only dream about him getting some diecast love.
5)Full rooted Arwen FotR
6)Full rooted Theoden.
7)Full rooted Tauriel.
8)Full rooted Haldir.

P.S. Lets face it. Now it is hard to imagine to compete with figures who has rooted hair. I have both Inart figures and Asmus figures, but I am buying only those who has full rooted hair to match Inart's Gandalf and Asmus Crown Gandalf too. It would be weird to have some with plastic hair.
Inart will do only fellowship ( at best, there are rumors about the fact that they did not want to do Boromir at all), so people will 100% buy side characters from you.

Like, Dain. Not to mention Thorin's BOFA look. And some random elves.

The original Merry & Pippin are some of my favorite figures. I would adore seeing them in their armors from ROTK some day.

They were two of my favourite figures back in the days of Toy Biz. Seeing them in 1/6 would be glorious.

I would definitely buy a Dain Ironfoot if Asmus made one, he looks like imo an archetype dwarf clad in full armor.

Thorin would havve been great if he would have had a dwarvish beard inStead of a much more human like beard.

But I guess they wanted the audience to see the face of the actor.

There's a reason the three dwarves who don't make it in the end are the least dwarf-like and look like regular dudes lol

They have plenty of tests/artworks of that. Thorin would have ended up looking like Old Man Winter; and they already had an issue - of their own making - of having Gimli be a more comic figure than was ever in the books.

Tho for me the beard thing was never a big deal. I'm sorry that Jackson & co. made Gimli "comic" but that's minor compared to my irritation over Faramir and some other things.

But anyway, so, there's some InArt Aragorn sculpted available, and I thought about it - and I'm like - nah. I'll save the money for Thranduil which I hope every day is released.

As an aside too, thankfully I own ASMUS' Thorin

Asmus any chance you could get the license for my all time favorite anime Cyber City Oedo 808? It's never had any merchandise, 3 figures and done.

I just googled Cyber City Oedo 808 ~ sorry I have never heard it before.

I will pass the idea to the design team, we do love old animation/movies more,

(I think) all the classic works that happened before smart phone and streaming videos had better connection with the viewers.

 

[Johnny Utah]

Someone will definitely have seen it it's amazing.

3 main characters, 3 episodes, cyberpunk vibe. I've been watching it all my life and would kill for figures.

Galadriel needs to be properly sized too!

According to the Asmus site, Lord of the Rings figures that previously said sold out, now say out of stock. Does this mean they are coming back into production at some point?
