Oh for sure I think most of us that dote on what Snyder did are not going to somehow care less about what he created with DC because it’s not continuing. I just meant that, for me, those two trilogies are on Mount Olympus for both film in general and fantasy-adventure specifically. So as new and improved versions of figures get made by different companies such as InArt I have accepted that I’ll be constantly upgrading my representation of those beloved characters in my office/mancave.
Hmm, statues is an interesting direction to go... I still like the posability of the 1/6 figure for photography, though. And for me there’s a resonance with a posable figure back onto my childhood experience of Captain Action, lol! It does tap into my childhood excitement about superheroes that way. But come to think of it, as a kid I also built the superhero plastic models that were 1/6 scale, and I loved those as well. So a statue would be comparable to that…
Yes, Asmus has made not only the fellowship of nine

but also many other characters from Jackson’s trilogy such as Bilbo, Sméagol/Gollum, Elrond, Galadriel, Arwen, Theoden, Eomer, Eowen, Faramir, the Witch King, Mouth of Sauron, Nazgûl, and so on. Also from the Hobbit trilogy, so Thorin, Thranduil, Bard, Gothmog, et al.
Asmus‘ quality has steadily improve over the years. Their earliest attempts at head sculpts are pretty crude, although the clothes and accessories were excellent even then. I‘m accepting that if InArt makes the full line of the fellowship that I’ll get them all. I’ll probably then sell my Asmus figures.
