The Two Towers: 20th Anniversary

[RandomHero]

So I'm watching the Fellowship of the Ring right now, and it dawned on me that the 20 year anniversary of this movie is in a month. Wild, can't believe how time flies. I started wondering if Asmus might get that Ian Holm Bilbo out to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the films.

That got me thinking. While it's too late to get anything into development for the Fellowship anniversary, it's not for The Two Towers. As mentioned in other threads, there have been a lot of people wanting a new Eowyn, Haldir (obviously myself there), and a new Boromir. What if Asmus decided to get a Shield Maiden Eowyn, a Helm's Deep Haldir, and a Gondor armor Boromir into development so they can get them up and maybe even one out for the anniversary of the film?

What do you think, @inyacher? Can you pitch this to the development team and try to get this going? It would be great for the fans to get something special they've been wanting to celebrate this beloved film.

I would love to see Bilbo for the 20th anniversary of Fellowship and Gandalf the White for the 20th anniversary of Two Towers next year Next on the list for me would be Sauron and Saruman and 2.0 Boromir.

Great ideas…would love to see some anniversary pieces/editions from Asmus…Weta have done some statue pieces for 20 years of FOTR, but would be great to get some 1/6 scale figures also to commemorate it .

For me how about that Thranduil/throne for the Hobbit 10th anniversary, and a Dwalin? I've been rewatching the trilogy as well, but am saving the Hobbit rewatching for Thanksgiving. It's been years and still miss the winter fan frenzy that when on. The Hobbit had the benefit of the 'net like the global online fan events (and you could rewatch trailers over and over)

TTT is probably my favorite LOTR film (thanks to Rohan, for one thing) but dunno what to ask for. I own WETA's Eowyn$$$$...we have Eormer and Theoden - I suppose Gandalf the White, for me, is the first thing to come to mind. I'd go for a Haldir, too. Guess for me Eowyn would be irresistible, tho hoping my shelves don't get too repetitive. E.g. the white gown. But a re-release of warrior Eowyn would be welcome, for me.

Hobbit figures are not going to sell as well as LOTR outside of a few characters. I think Asmus would have done more already if that was the case. They’re just not nearly as beloved as the LOTR films.

Would definitely be nice if they can throw us a 20th anniversary figure or two from the Two Towers.

But ASMUS does limited runs, and there's always gonna be fans like me who would like to color Middle Earth more than the 9 companions and Gandalf. Not saying ASMUS shouldn't do anniversary figures; and I sure would like a new Eowyn; but a figure like Dain would be very appreciated.

Tho not even sure what I would do if ASMUS released a white gown Eowyn. Because I have the Weta version. Probably wouldn't be able to resist

Anyway IMO ASMUS should gear up for all things Middle Earth, as am sure other companies will take advantage of the hyoe from Amazon's upcoming Middle Earth series. With the money Amazon spent, am sure they are going to let everyone know about it.

I hope we get a helm’s deep galadhrim archer/warrior!!! After the prologue elven warriors, I would love more general elves in the collection.

Agreed, two of the best figures Asmus has made!

Thanks, Rovi. You continue to be the best. Hopefully the team will help the fans get something special for the 20th anniversary.

I can’t believe it , 20 years has passed since the Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring premiered for the first time in London. The world premiere was held at the Odeon Leicester Square in London on 10 December 2001

Exactly.. Would pre order day one.
Room would be a problem though

This is one figure(?) that would be a huge space hog but I would still love to have it in the collection. It would also help Asmus sell new Merry and Pippin figures...

Here is the Weta 1/6th scale statue just to give you an idea of size!

 

[RandomHero]

Saw this thread got bumped and hope Rovi shared some news about Haldir or Eowyn.

You *******s.

 

[George13]

Asmus should reveal something new

 

[George13]

Waiting
