Asmus Toys: LOTR 1/6 HORSES

[Wor-Gar]

BBTS already has them for pre-order, so they don't look exclusive to me.

Where? I don't see them? How are they listed?

They're under the view all preorders page. Anyone else think the rear legs look a little short? I'm no horse expert but I don't think there's a down slope from front shoulder to back.

 

[Wor-Gar]

That's so weird -- I searched "horse" and "Asmus" and they didn't come up... but there they are under preorder. BBTS has a horrible search function. And that's THE key sales tool.

Anyway... not buying horses. Wonder why Asmus rushed these out with Gandalf still sailing to America and no Aragorn preorder in sight?

^kitbash galore...army building...riders of rohan? not to mention wild west bashes.
i need that ringwraith on steed set. if i really like that horse in hand, i'd get 4 more for my "4 horsemen".

 

[Sankari]

I'm not too keen on how the articulation looks on those. The nazgul horse looks better , maybe because its easier to hide the joints

 

[denrep-lilium]

Seems to be Nazgul horse with light up eyes, and with regular head.

 

[Sankari]

I thought the Nazgul + steed was supposed to be released at the end of September ?

Looks good, but the joints are a bit too ajar . Also I wonder if she can be mounted properly ? Her legs look small compared to the horse
Its a great accessory, and I'm sure it will sell out marvelously !

Looks amazing!! Joints are a bit on the wide side and I hope they can be addressed but overall it's outstanding!

 

[Bucky Underbelly]

Wondering how the stands work for the horses ...

 

[jankatana]

There must be a reason for the gaps, will only know once we have it

Have you seen the fully flocked non-articulated horses by DiD? You can get them for under $60 and they look really nice. They are more of a statue but there are no disturbing joints. So if you're just going to leave it in one pose I would recommend that.

Hmm ... If Asmus would sell the saddles separately, that might be an option. (Of course, that would hurt their own sales, so I'm doubting they will.)

I'm still wondering if Asmus will be kitting the horses out with saddles from the different peoples of Middle-Earth. So far, just Rohan, but it'd be great to see Elvish, Gondorian, etc.

Perhaps personalized saddle can be an accessory for particular character?
Like Theodin, he has a pretty mean horse saddle.

 

[jankatana]

Snowmane has some cool full body armour, that would be epic :-D

 

[superdoug]

Théoden on Snowmane would be at the top of my most wanted lists!

 

[Darklord Dave]

Just the idea that they're thinking about a mounted Theoden as a possible release has me all warm and fuzzy inside.
