Asmus Toys: Witch-king figure

[DEADDACK_33]

Did the thread modification and it helped a little. A replacement body would be ideal though. When putting the left arm back in a piece snapped off of the body, and when placing the figure back into the packaging one of the spikes snapped off the helm. It was like it wasn't even glued on! At least it's an easy fix.

Sorry to hear that.

And you're right, a replacement body would be ideal.
The thread-mod was just something cheap, easy and reversible I came up with which happened to work out - at least for me.

As cool as this figure is, after seeing how easy those two pieces broke off I'm not impressed with the overall quality of the body. Unless Asmus comes out with a decent replacement body I would rather get the Weta Morgul Lord Statue or the Premium Format Morgul Lord.

Hopefully future Asmus sixth scale figures don't suffer the limp brittle body of the Morgul Lord.

Here is how mine is displayed at the moment:

I removed the sleeves, water treated the clothes and "fixed" the joints.

And this is what I have done with the joints:
I took some sewing thread and wrapped it around/inside the joints until they had the desired stiffness.

I know it's not a good picture but maybe you get the idea.

this is pretty brlliant.

Still one of my favourite figures in my collection, always staring at it ( now with his own Tolkien Shrine)

Just sold mine... haven't even shipped it yet but already regretting it lol. But I only need one witch king and I want to get the premium format statue.

A statue over an articated figure

This has to be a scam, but I'm curious to try it out... https://www.ebay.com/itm/171445374972

Description says they are in Beijing... ebay says they ship from Texas. If they really are sending out this set for $45... lol. It's not true. It can't be.

And the seller has a 0 for a feedback rating. Not a good sign.

 

[SurlyJ]

Oddly enough the price concerns me more than 0 feedback. I've been scammed by people with lots of feedback more than I have ppl with 0. Probably not much risk in taking a flier on it. Worst case is they send the wrong item or no item, you open a case and get your money back. So if you can spare the $45 being gone from your account a while, might be worth it.

I sent the seller a question regarding shipping...I'm intrigued at least!

That's so a scam. Can't believe you guys on here are even wasting your time. You'll be lucky to get the ToyBiz Wraith in that box.

Make him an offer.

 

[SurlyJ]

I asked him/her to send a pic of the actual item. Don't expect a reply.

 

[Fritz]

Why not just make it a more reasonable price so people aren't suspicious? Also, I though new accounts don't get their funds released until 21 days or positive feedback is given so what's the point?

So what's this guy selling for nowadays roughly? Here on the boards that is...

Had mine up for $200 or $220 for a long time until it sold just recently (month ago maybe) for about $190-200.

 

[Sankari]

Messed around even further , and gave him a repaint - more highlights , more metallic glint , also rust, adjusted the cloth , and repainted / customized the base.
I was considering making a new base from scratch, but I currently enjoy where he's displayed. Once more Lotr 1/6 items arrive, I'll reconsider making a new base.

 

[MrPickles]

I woulda bought that version.

Ok , thanks. I'm selling mine as well.

Sankari, that looks fantastic! Great job on the repaint and the base!
