Molecule8 LotR & Hobbit Figures

[cmiller99]

​Smarty pants!

this company was shown about a month ago and within hours the site was down. I wouldn't get my hopes up too much until something concrete is shown. So far all that is known is that Lennon is sculpted by KA Kim

The site came up again after a day or two though. While we haven't seen any figures yet, they claim to be licensed, seemingly haven't been issued a C&D yet despite claiming to have licenses currently owned by other companies, and have made some excellent digital renders and found the scratch to hire one of the industry's top sculptors. That doesn't bode badly for me.

I'm sure most of those sculpts are either 1/4 scale or larger "busts" of the characters.

Not trying to ruffle any feathers...nothing wrong with being cautiously optimistic either though I'm always down for more LOTR. But we've all been bamboozled before and I'd rather not get my hopes up just yet

I would also like to work the 1/6 scale articulated. That sculpture of Legolas is supreme

You understand that is a digital rendition?

 

[Wor-Gar]

No 1/6th scale head is going to look like that Molecule render... unless they do real-feel skin and mini-marble eyes. And if they do that (if anyone actually could) you're looking at a whole new level of pricing.

 

[Califa]

Yes, and also that a bad painting job ruined any good digital or handmade sculpture. I just keep waiting.

Just like Inigu's work for Big Chief Studios or Dean's work for ACI.

Different company , different result.

Big Chief and ACI were never known with solid paintjob. As well *cough* Asmus. They are left behind from leading company Hot Toys and Blitzway.

Of course we have seen so many good products form molecule8 that there could be no doubt of their final products.

 

[Asmus]

Molecule8 has only 1/4th scaled license on LOTR/Hobbit.

Very good to know. Thanks for the clarification!

Thank you.
Because they answer only "later, we will post more information in the due time"

Hope to see some new teasers form Asmus!!!

Thank you for that clarification. We'll see if they ever get off the ground.

The in-hand renders will look so much better than the prototype renders, guaranteed.

 

[Nyhargo Dirge]

Give us Sauron and a Balrog

 

[hoodonit00]

Give us Sauron and a Balrog

A Balrog in 1/4 scale? Thing would be huge, and expensive.

 

[denrep-lilium]

Give us Sauron and a Balrog

Are you addressing Molecule8 or Asmus? Because it is actually Molecule8 thread.

In 1/6 scale it would be person-sized! 1/4 scale, even bigger!
