Guess you are right, Ellaria is his lover and Elia was his sister that the Mountain raped and killed.

That was his sister for the record. Her three assassin girls are cool too but there is only so much shelf space. We really need some of the actual "main" characters that lasted more than one season before we go that deep please.

Got her Friday. I think she is pretty bad-ass. Sculpt looks good but the paint apps are not as good as they could be. I know she is supposed to have that porcelain skin but a little more texture in there would not have been bad. Still, really liking her. The clothing/outfit are awesome.

There is a lot in the back that sticks out behind her that is not visble in my. I did not take that much time to mess around with the dress so I am sure more can be done. Not sure how deep the folds will get though. The material is a bit "plasticky" so it is pretty stiff and as you work one...

Her paint app is a bit "soft" as you say but it looks good. Her eyes and eyebrows look good and that conveys a lot of her character. Her flesh is a tad pale but I supposed that is better than badly applied blush or whatever. I wish that they had included a few more accessories (like an Iron...

Couple more from DSLR. She borrowed her little brother's wine goblet.

She arrived last night. Overall I really like her. Yes the open flipper hands that she ships with are absolutely terrible but the gripping hands are much better. Not sure what the hell happened with the hands. As for the dress it would appear that as per usual no one tried to futz with it at...

That is pretty cool chainmail. Says over 11,000 hand woven rings. Thing is that is just the skirt, not actually a shirt with arms or anything that could make it more difficult to tailor. Also hard to say if the little rings will snag things where the little hoops connect. Also, it is...

Same. Love the look of the armor and the face sculpt but that hair is all kinds of messed up and not sure I like the nose guard area enough to commit $200 and shelf space. I do want him but I'm going to hold out for a while.

This "Best it can be" stuff is all great as a sales pitch but to actually do a sizable (1000 or more) production run with high level quality control and consistent results with that much being done by hand you are looking at WAY more than $350 a figure. You guys are asking for what super...

I hate to break it to you guys but Asmus has basically been showing things at the "done and ready to ship" stage lately. It could be that this one will be different with the amount of time and care going into the head/hair/beard but I think that is entirely where the money/time is going to...

Looking back at Sideshow this checklist is not complete but shows a ton of info on release date, price, and run size: https://imperialholocron.com/checklists/sideshow-collectibles-16-checklist/ I have a ton of Sideshow SW stuff and some of it is absolutely amazing (Probe Droid, Grievous...

As far as wish-listing goes: Orcs and more orcs. big ones like Lurtz and Azog… little ones like the Moria orcs which I guess some would fall into Goblin territory. Sauron Gollum Faramir really needs some good 1/6th love. Grima Wormtongue Haldir (and other Elves) Redux of four main...

Yup, notifications going out. She is on her way finally, now that we are 3/4 of the way through August which was when Brienne was supposed to ship.

Pretty sure Asmus responded about stand alone dioramas that their license does not cover that so they can only do display stands. Maybe that changed in their recent renegotiation of the license but somewhere back in either the Gandalf's cart posts that they had on display at a con or the...
