Speculation: Eowyn, Shieldmaiden of Rohan

[DakRen]

Ohhhh great idea for the next figure:THEODRED!!!

Can’t go wrong with more Rohirrim! His armor is unique enough but it’s hard to find good reference pics.

I’d hate to see them waste a slot on a corpse when there are so many living characters left to make.

 

[Bucky Underbelly]

If they had a bunch of defective loose, floppy figure bodies laying around it would be a great way to use them up since you wouldn't need the figure to stand up!

(I do love that Rohan armor, though.)

I know this is a long shot, but I wonder if any 1/6 companies would ever consider a “film-maker” line?
I know Hot Toys made that George Lucas many years ago. How cool would it be to have Peter Jackson on the shelf next his on-screen realisations? Rooted or sculpted shaggy hair though? Hmmmm
Don’t want to derail the thread, just some random musings…

Well he does cameo in most of the films so essentially he is one of them too!

 

[BagginsOfBagEnd]

It is a good idea I think would be quite cool to have him displayed near the characters. Weta made a statue of him in his Corsair costume.

 

[superdoug]

You could always go the Toy Biz route and make him a hobbit.

Yep! Give him a broken carrot to munch on and a “ burping” sound effect!

 

[George13]

Well, I am interested in any version.
But a Deluxe version (2 pack , 2 figures) would be awesome

Ah yes, the carrot man. How can we forget!

 

[Sixth Scale Man]

Currently making our way through the Extended LOTR with the kids (finally!). We watched The Two Towers yesterday and I'd not noticed how many costume changes Eowyn has! Tough choice, because they all look great.

Hi @Asmus any idea if the team is considering a new version of Eowyn? She needs an upgrade!

 

[superdoug]

Yes she does!

 

[Waiden]

Hi @Asmus any idea if the team is considering a new version of Eowyn? She needs an upgrade!

Agreed. We need new Eowyn

 

[superdoug]

Agreed. We need new Eowyn (not in casual dress)

I will take Eowyn 2.0 as a shield maiden or in her dress. Either way she would be a great one to update.

Me too.

 

[RandomHero]

Whenever you come back to us again @Asmus, you can see we are very ready to support an Eowyn figure. It is her time.

 

[Asmus]

We actually don't have a plan for Eowyn 2.0,
felt like therei is a need to explore new characters rather than going back on the old ones all the time.
but I do agree we can do a better Eowyn now

 

[ObiGlennKenobi]

Excellent.
All for new characters -Haldir,Gil Galid,Elendil,Radagast,Lurtz...to release alongside Eowyn,Boromir, Faramir etc

I agree. I’d rather see a variety of characters as well. New characters are great for a collection - that’s why I pushed for Haldir and welcome Isildur, Gil-Galad, Gamling, Celeborn….whoever you decide to make.

But, the Eowyn you made was one of your first figures and you’ve improved so much. Plus that figure is hard to find now. She has such an iconic moment, killing the Witch King. She deserves a fresh figure that can harness all your improvements. And you agree as well, you can do so much better than the first figure now.

Just something to think on.
