I would bet a Gimli and Boromir would be in the works over the next couple of years. Merry and Pippin seem like a long shot, though. Even Asmus had to be pushed pretty hard to do them and even then we only got bare-bones, stripped-down figures. It sucks, but those two don't seem like big sellers.

100% Larger, sturdier wrist pegs would be very welcome. But the magnets? Not so much. I've seen people argue that the magnets help "guide" the pegs in. But that kinda seems like solving a problem nobody was having? To me, it just seems like they're trying to make their figures feel more...

ARCHAEOLOGIST: This pharaoh was ... (cracks open sarcophagus) ... mint in box.

Are they hitting the same hair issues Asmus flagged when they said to do his braids fully rooted was too complicated? Or did Gandalf just really back up the assembly line on everything?

Oh, noooo! "Westu hál. Ferðu, Théoden, Ferðu."

I haven't undressed him, but does anyone know if the forearms can be popped out and replaced with standard True-Type ones? And then we could use standard wrist pegs?

Excellent pics, Pizza! Such a great figure. As for the leaflet, it's not a book, just a single piece of paper folded in the middle. That's the whole thing there.

Got mine, too! Looks great! But - and I'm just being honest here - I can't really see much of a difference from the original. In the paint work or the hairing. At least to my old eyes. Maybe I just got a really good one on my initial figure. Still one of my favorite figures in their...

Brilliant!

Video is very helpful! Unfortunately, it still doesn't work. Maybe mine is just defective. Won't hold firmly, no matter how hard I push it. It can't go deep enough into the forearm. Maybe the magnet is just a teensy bit too shallow in the receiving socket? Again, this feels like it's been...

Love this. And I especially love that the name placard is mobile. So versatile! How is that done? Is the placard separate? Are the two disc parts of the base (black one and the sculptural one) separate so it can swivel? SO CLEVER!

This is such a beautiful figure. That portrait is outstanding. But these %&$king hands are killing me! They pop off at the slightest touch. Super frustrating to futz. I know not everybody is having wrist problems, but it seems like a lot of us are. I can't get mine to hold any kind of...

Ish? Kinda?

Nice! Upgrade ordered! One of my favorites from all the Asmus LOTR/Hobbit figs.

Yup! Got my rock yesterday! Nice piece. Heavy and well packed. (Using the velcro strap instead of tape on the styro box is cool. Maybe unnecessary, but cool.)

Personally, I would kinda be surprised to see a Gandalf the White from them. (I mean, I'd totally buy it, but I'd be surprised.) It doesn't seem like they're going nearly deep enough into any of these licenses to get to a point where they might do alternate versions of the same characters. It...

Just got mine. Everything seems to be in order (no serious issues with hands or paint). Damn, that sculpt is amazing. But he does seem to have rather a lot of hair and beard. Very full. I need to take some time over the weekend to futz and style him a bit. I don't think it will be an...

Dammit. I had FINALLY managed to convince that nagging voice in my head that kept insisting I needed this ... that it was too expensive to pick up on the secondary market. :lol

I just don't understand why the big companies aren't making cool stuff like this. (I mean, it would never be THIS nice, of course! But still!) Seems like there's a market for mass produced dios. A bit of Rivendell? Lothlorien? Front door of Bag End? Will you be selling these...

WOOOOOOOWWWWWW!!!! 😲
