The store was sitting on unsold Thorin stock last time I checked so I am thinking they thought it was better to swap out the head and raise the price a little bit (I think the original was under $220) and sell the remaining stock instead of just letting them sit there unsold. Who knows it might...
For purely selfish reasons I can live with the standards coming out first since I caved and bought both versions. My wallet wouldn’t mind a couple of months or more in between (although I won’t complain if they come out at the same time). Thankfully I have been selling off almost my entire...
I have never had any bad dealings with Asmus and really appreciate what they did for 1/6 LOTR. There was a huge void and their figures were vastly superior to the dated Sideshow ones in my opinion. I would love to see them keep some form of a 1/6 LOTR license to continue making figures.
I meant silence and lack of figures from Asmus. Weta keeps churning out the statues and Diamond’s latest wave of figures just came out with another wave up for preorder.

red or different color bandannas.
Nice! I think mine should arrive over the weekend. Love to know your thoughts on him when he arrives. For some strange reason even if my figure is only a day or two away I still scour through the posts and internet see what others are saying lol.
