Asmus - 1/6 Gollum/Smeagol

[Sixth Scale Man]

Interesting that they are releasing separate full figure Gollum and Sméagol standard editions and a deluxe 2 figure set instead of swappable heads. Are the heads fully attached so there’s no neck seam?
Swappable leg seams may be easier to hide with the loin cloth.
Either way, it sounds like an exciting release. Consider me intrigued!

great news ! can't wait to see the first pics !

 

[Life_m2000]

Oh yes!

 

[chrisstbh]

Now just hope the rolling eyeballs dont turn out like Gandalf.

 

[superdoug]

great news again! Definitely going to get the luxury version if it comes with both Gollum and Sméagol.

The choices that went into this figure seem perfect I like having two I like only arms and legs seamless with swappable legs I like it all. Now it just has to look as good as the NECA or better and it a frail figure scratched off the list!

Wonderful news. I also like the fact that the figures can be purchased separately or as a deluxe combo-set. (I'll be getting that deluxe for sure!)

The teaser looks interesting.

Thankyou Rovi for the update!!
Sounds like a winner and a good choice of options.

 

[PersonOfTheYear]

Good to see options but I want a Gollum + Frodo Bundle

 

[Stryker2011]

Oh man, this is going to be awesome. Thanks for sharing all the details (or as much as you could), Rovi.

 

[DakRen]

Very excited on seeing the promo pics!

 

[CrankbaitJon]

Thanks Rovi, this is awesome! I cannot wait! I guess Smeagol will be the nicer/friendlier sculpt and Gollum will be the angry/evil sculpt?

 

[warlock664]

Uh, yes, obviously.

 

[ObiGlennKenobi]

So there is a date for reveal.
13.9.21

If that is based on local time,then we SHOULD see reveals tomorrow!!!
If it is based on USA time,then in 2 days time.
Woot woot

I gotta be honest, I’m not liking the jointed arms and shoulders. I’d rather see them use a continuous body like Phicen. Phicen uses a silicone material that’s used for models in the medical field. It’s not like it will never tear, but as long as you avoid overly dynamic posing for extended periods there should be no problem.

 

[warlock664]

I agree.
Having swappable arms and legs in various poses is not a good substitute for unrestricted articulation.
Even if it meant having some exposed joints, I’d be ok with that if it meant I’d have more options for posing.

 

[CrankbaitJon]

The issues with Phicen bodies are common in areas/countries with warmer temperatures and higher humidity.

Only TBLeague/Phicen have the bodies down to the point where they have a chance to last. Blitzway’s seamless Bill and Ted arms are shredding under six months in regular conditions. Hot Toys’ seamless Rey arms and Hellboy bodies are flaking paint on day one of box opening from just mild grip pressure while swapping hands.

If Asmus wants to do seams, let them. You would never find a generic body swap option for Gollum for when a seamless did eventually fail.
