ACi have LOTR licence

[superdoug]

A good 1/6th Orc (Mordor or Uruk) and i'll be happy!

Shoot I have three Orc heads from Boromirs so I could even put headless orcs/goblins to use

My Top 20 LotR list from the Asmus thread. Going to be interesting to see how these two licenses compete/complement one another and also how they fit in with the SS line.

1. Aragorn
2. Gandalf
3. Boromir
4. Legolas
5. Gimli
6. Frodo
7. Sam
8. Merry
9. Pippin
10. Arwen
11. Faramir
12. Lurtz
13. Gollum (swap out Smeagol head)
14. Dark Rider
15. Saruman
16. Galadriel
17. Witch King
18. Sauron
19. Elrond
20. Orc

And also interested in others like Theoden, Eowyn, Eomer, Wormtongue, Denathor,

I like this list. These would be my wants as well.

This just in from ACI's Facebook. Someone asked if it was true that the license was indeed only for HK and what it meant for US customers and this is what they replied:

The license for ACI is only for Hong Kong right now! And we just want to produce very good quality of 1/6 figures to our customers as usual! Honestly, we hope customers in US and other region could buy our products one day! But I really don't see any possibilities yet!

That's a bummer. I hope we can snatch some one eBay without paying ridiculously high prices.

 

[superdoug]

hopefully they make enough so it won't be too expensive to go the evil bay route.

I am hoping that the two licenses compliment one another...don't want two Aragorn's coming out at the same time...maybe a dwarf and an Uruk at the same time...now that would be cool.

They can make whoever they
want.

So long as it's Gimli.

Kinda made at myself for giving up on ever seeing a Gimli and selling my SS LOTR figures earlier this year to now having a good chance to see one finally made. Only one I have left is Aragorn

 

[Topgear]

When are they launching?

 

[Geb]

Got a small update from ACI...they will be attempting to put out 3 figures per year...have yet to hear about their first offering though...

So three trips to ebay unless they can find a way to get a States side release.

Times are good to be a Lord of the Rings fan (except for the wallets).

3 figures a year from ACI and roughly 4 a year from Amsus (20 figures / 5 years). Nice chunk of change but it will be awesome so see the collection grow by 7 figures.

I hope ACI do a reveal soon.
It's been ages since they announced their Roman Legionnaire and still nothing.

 

[RareCollectibles]

Given their previous track record, this means we might finally get some LOTR figures in armor!

Yes this sounds really interesting...Witchking, Suaron, Faramir in full plate etc..

 

[Geb]

I'm pulling for Rohirrim, Gondorian, Prologue warriors, HD uruks...anything with full armor. Anxiously waiting...anything!

Yeah I agree Gondorian in full plates would be nice...I always admire this Diorama with Sauron vs full plated Gondorians...some 1/6 full plated Gondorian would be nice..

 

[superdoug]

I guess I am easy to please. Any well done Middle Earth figure will make me happy even if it is some random elf in Rivendale, a nose picking hobbit or a burmping, carrot eating Breelander.

 

[Radagaster]

This thread is useless without any pics!

How's that to prod ACI to start coming up with teasers!

Yeah I would also appreciatte some pics but I guess we have to be patient and wait a little bit more...

 

[Geb]

For now...they only have a PLAN...I've spoken to one of their reps...and they aren't saying much...only that they plan to release 3 figures per year...
