I personally want Gandalf but Sideshow has not done any villains yet so a Saruman would be awesome!!

Gandalf but I'd like to see him next in PF too.

Hey, where's Gimli?

I would have voted Gimli. I want the key three. Also, that would mean Hobbits would be on the way.

But I think Gandalf is next. Always have. Every preview. :lol

I'd like Gimli in the 1/6th and Gandalf for the PF.

GANDALF!!!
I don't care which version. He is my favorite character from any work of fiction. I must have a high quality 1/6 scale version of him.

Hey this poll is rigged! 2 Frodos and no Gimli :lol

But I have to go with Gandalf :gandalf on this one... even though I'm severely jonesing for a Ringwraith :rock

I like that you included Sauron in the poll. After Jabba and his Throne I think anything is possible in 1/6!!! :ogat

I say Gandalf. Then Sauraman to go with him. Then a Ringwraith. By that time I'd expect to see some Hobbits or Gimil. Afterall, it would be 2008 by then :lol

I think Gandalf the Grey needs to be first so we can complete the original Fellowship. I really don't see a whole lot of other characters besides them being made. Theoden, Faramir, Saruaman, the Raiths, etc. being exceptions. I'd be very surprised to see any more total than the amount of Star Wars figures already announced.

And where's Eowyn? There seem to be a few discrepancies, but that's ok. I'm terrible at making polls, and I like this poll a lot. I vote Gandalf the Grey anyway.

I'd like some villains too. I know I'm in a very small minority, but I'd love a Gothmog.

I also want Gandalf (Grey) but voted for Frodo. We need to see a "little body" announced so that we are assured that, a) the little bodies are almost ready and b) the line is not floundering.

PLEASE give us the Fellowship Nine first, just in case... :monkey3

as the saying goes, a hero is measured by his/her enermies. ringwraith would be great since you can get a bunch of them and have the whole set. (how many were there? 5-6?) And witch king, and mouth of sauron. Those are the ones that Aragorn and others fought.

Voted Saruman.. However if I noticed the Ringwrath that would have gotten my vote . Frodo x2 threw me off..

Too bad I could never afford all 9 ringwraiths. Yes my friend, 9. That's a lot of money if you want the whole group!

wow, 9. I didnt remember they were so many.

Captain Faramir
01-25-2007, 12:21 PM
Yeah, that's the rough thing. I mean, nobody wants just one lonely ringwraith, but then, you can't get by with just a few either. It's gotta be all nine! But you have to say it like Gandalf does to Saruman--THE NINE?!?! It's much more dramatic that way.

And what about the horses? You have to have them riding on horses! The Nine Nazgul on their horses in 1/6 scale would be even more astounding a set-up than Jabba himself, if it can be done. Can you imagine how much money that would be? I get ill simply thinking about it.

Hence I say Gandalf should come next. After that some smaller characters and a villain thrown in for kicks. Just as long as we eventually get Bill, otherwise the Fellowship will never be complete!

Good thing they already made Faramir!

I wonder how many people will start buying those Marx horses and start repainting?

Captain Faramir
01-25-2007, 12:40 PM
The problem is you couldn't have all Nine riders on the same horse in the same pose. Each rider would have to sit differently, they all have different swords, and the horses would all have to be in a different pose to look good together (preferably all in motion). It would be a monumental task that I wouldn't wish on anybody. Still though, it would be breathtaking to behold, and beyond price when you think about it. I know that somebody out there will do it nonetheless--and we'll all weep and wail and gnash our teeth with envy once we see it!

Why stop at horses! Why not 9 fell beasts!!! Thing is though, realistically, if a wraith was created, the armor underneath would need to be unique as well. Face it, the Morgul Lord stood out. Khamul would need to be wearing an Easterling armor . . .

Captain Faramir
01-25-2007, 01:03 PM
True. I'm curious to see if Sideshow makes a generic one with a few optional swords and items to represent 8 of them, and then a seperate Witch-King with his armor, optional helmet/hood, and his sword, mace, and knife. It's a big job.

As for the Fell Beast, they could make it a unique statue that can displayed on its own, but conveniently scaled in 1/6 format for added usefulness. Draw in statue collectors and the 1/6 crowd.

I voted for Gandalf as well, although I'm curious to see how Sideshow solves the problem of those long haired wizards. :confused:

Will they use rooted hair or sculpt the hair. If they choose the later, I forsee very limited neck moment. :monkey2 :monkey2 :monkey2

True. How will he look down at Frodo?

Given the rate of release, I have a funny feeling that we are not going to see a hobbit in this line for a long, long time. :monkey2 :monkey2 :monkey2

I think they would just make a generic Wraith and the Witch King. I think all of the other Wraiths in the film have the same swords (besides the Witch King of course). I think even 5 Wraiths for a WeatherTop dispaly would be awesome to see. Let alone all 9 on foot or steed! If they made a high number of these, I'd love to pick one up every now and then for cheap on ebay or something. Wonder how they'd handle the head. Especially on the Witch King in Armor. The Wizards too. They've proved they can't do rooted hair very well so I think plastic beards and hair is the only way to go. I think annousing Gandalf and Saruaman at Toy Fair would be a good idea.

Gandalf exclusive: Pipe? Moth thingy he whispers to? Dragon Firework?
Saruman exclusive: Palatir? Sauron's Eye Palatir? Candle-staff?

Sword, scabbard, mythril coat (molded to fit in his hand), elven dagger (excl.), and Horse Expansion. :drool

Alright alright! Stop throwing things I was just kidding! Gandalf had better be next, and then Gimli. I hope we get something good at Toy Fair!

What do you think SS would do about the no head situation on the ringwraiths???

Captain Faramir
01-27-2007, 11:11 PM
Perhaps they could expand on the concept of using wire in the hoods in order to keep the entire hood in the desired shape. It would be hard to do, and packaging that would be a challenge, but it seems like one of the only ways to do it without resorting to a sculpted hood, which just doesn't look as good. Toy Biz' were nice, but just not captivating enough.

I voted Frodo mainly because I really want to see the smaller bodies. I'd honestly be thrilled with any Hobbit or Gimli.
