Asmus Toys: Nazgûl

[Invictus Sol]

I would prefer it to be a bit taller and bulker but overall it's great. I think on display it won't really be noticeable. I would only have some atmospheric lighting with a dark background, so I expect it'll look great. Nice to see some well-lit, clean pics, regardless.

Wow, Asmus kicked major butt with this one.
Great job! Although I too would prefer the horse a bit more massive.

 

[bigpig]

wow might have to get this

 

[Lee in MI]

This thing looks epic. Wish I could buy nine.

I am a bit worries about the horse front (and back) feet. As we can see in the photo, the articulation joint may cause a misalignment of the feet bottom to the plane of the ground, so it gets unstable and leaves a crack between ground and the foot (as seen in photo). This crack sticks out a lot on display. Also, the feet may end up unparallel to each other.
The QC of this bottom joint needs to be very strict so we get an aligned feet. The same problem was seen in the fingers of the witchking where the joints were not aligned to each other so fingers are not parallel (at least in my case).

Looking at the 1/6 articulated horse I have, addressing that crack would appear to simply be a matter of rotating the hip joint.

 

[nathan.never]

Oh, so there's a hip joint... Didn't know that, it didn't seem possible.

 

[Lejuan]

Oops, fore limbs would make that the shoulder joint, but you get my meaning

 

[Wor-Gar]

Does that "seam" possible?

 

[Lejuan]

Oh it's poseable alright - you just have to believe.

 

[Azzrael]

Holy crap! That wraith is so awesome! Anyone know when this available?

 

[sarayutthe3rd]

[willlam83]

Strong steed legs with a nice stand please

I hope Asmus is planning on including the Nazgul umbrella in this set.

Spoiler tag dude

 

[kingbumble]

OSB finally has this up for pre-order

 

[superdoug]

And now my Wraith won't be complete until I find a working 1/6th umbrella.

Towards the end of the year, 3rd quarter. I only get three or four figures a year nowadays, so I'm pretty pumped for this release.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I know, I can't wait for this either. Really going to be the centerpiece to my collection I think, assuming it comes out like he proto.
