New 1/6 line of LOTR figures by Asmus Toys!!

[Berg]

The tee hee and smilie behind it suggests that it is in jest.

I am learning, thank you for the advice hoodonit00.
I only read the posts, it seems i had not recogniced the hilarity of the complete message.

Anyone see anybody else making 1:6 LotR figures? No? Then shut the **** up.

tee hee.

Exactly. But that's also why I hope they start off with some creatures and easier likenesses. If they start off with the high profile characters and the likeness aren't there the line may end before it picks up steam. Plus I would think just like Toy Biz, Sideshow and Hot Toys, they will get better at making figures as time goes on. . . . . . . . . . and the prices will go up too

Well at least we know with a RIng Wraith the lface sculpt won't be a problem.

Are you kidding? As **** retentive as 1/6th scale collecters are someone could make a square box and someone would ***** that it wasn't square enough.

They'd complain that it looked more like a rhombus or that it could pass for a rectangle but not a square.

Maybe the square would come with an exclusive art print of a square?

haha True. We would break out the tape measures and the photoshops. "This empty space isn't EMPTY enough!!!!"

 

[superdoug]

I can see it now:

The before and after photoshops of how the square would need to be tweeked to be more square like.

I think it's a damn good likeness

wooo, wooo calm down guys... I was meaning about the clothes, the head is a nice, maybe with another paint it could be better.. ( I see the sculpt unpainted and I loved it),
but the clothes are terrible..
ok the price is cheap.. whatever

I disagree. And my guess is that was done on purpose so as not to get sued by Stiller or Fox. But likeness is subjective so I'm not going to argue.

The shots shown so far are not the final result. Hold tight

 

[superdoug]

Any news on whether the ACI company getting the Lord of the Rings license interferes with Asmus?

 

[hoodonit00]

I'm surprised they didn't start a thread here. Someone from Asmus posted on OSW that we will see pics from the first figure in about a week. Didn't confirm which figure it would be though. Going to be a long week. Hints that they would be making figures that SST didn't make and making better figures of some that SST did like Aragorn

 

[carbo-fation]

They did start a thread a few days ago.....

Moved that thread here. I'm going to close this one and direct all posts to that thread.
