ACI Toys: Ringwraith Figure

[bangkok_wolf]

Went to the Seven facebook page (a HK shop that will have it for PO this friday) there a remark saying

Hong Kong's first 500 customers (at SEVEN or other shops), extra gift: a limited edition alloy sword. (First come first served basis)

Geez, it's sold only in a specific country and now there's also a limited sword .....

I wonder what the $1,380.00 amount is is? Yen doesn't seem right?

So just to get this straight...
Where can one pre-order these?

I think they are only liscenced to sell them in a frew select markets. If that is the case the only place I think most of us can go to get them is the secondary market also know as ebay. Hopefully I am wrong.

One market to be exact *google translation seems to be better than it used to / info from the link in the previous page*

The limited edition of 1,500 sets of wraiths Figure, this Friday (February 28) in Mong Kok Silver City Plaza Seven opening set, the first five hundred buyers send edged sword limited alloys

I'm not certain of this but it's strange for them to have an limited edition sword (assuming it's the one that is shown individually) which was used by all wraiths and not the Morgul-blade, which was used only by the witch king.

 

[superdoug]

Wow so only 1,500. I wonder what the cost will be on the secondary market.

 

[SithThundercracker]

I must say I'm not really impressed...

Looks like I can get an ACI Nazgul to go with the Asmus Nazgul on steed.... to go with my reworked ToyBiz Nazgul.

Clearly there will be no shortage of Nazguls in the future.

So the figure is 1300 hong kong dollars, which is roughly 170 bucks.

There's also a neat video they posted on facebook (most of it's just a dude walking around in ringwraith cosplay but there's some nice shots of the figure towards the end):

170 bucks vs Asmus' @ approx. $130 ...

170 bucks vs Asmus' @ approx. $130 ...

A difference I'm willing to take, with hope that the quality will trump asmus'.

 

[JonEl]

Head still looks too big, I want to see asmus' before I choose although I'm def getting their stead

 

[kingbumble]

Will people stop spelling it 'stead' please? It's 'steed'

 

[elvis1976]

I'm actually not really impressed by the overall proportion of the figure.
Looks like a kid wearing an armor.

Is this better in this picture?!

I personally think it looks great. Just not sure if I will be able to get it in the states without paying an arm and a leg.

 

[JonEl]

It could be the angle not doing it justice but the head looks like 80% the width of the shoulders.

I like this.... but there's something slightly sexy about it....

I see so you are not into legs .... wait, that come out weird

But true we didn't see much of their leg armors in the movie as they were covered with the robe all the time.

It's like he's hitch hiking his way back to Mordor by trying to show off some leg. Or armor as it were.
