Ugh I want more Hobbit characters in 1:6 scale… Queen Studios has the rights to The Hobbit too and showcased it in their livestream thing a while back, so maybe they’ll come in clutch and make some figures.
And let’s not act like every LOTR figure sells like hot cakes. Faramir, Eomer, the recent Elven soldiers, Galadriel, Arwen in death gown, aren’t exactly flying off sites and in high demand.
Which is stupid, honestly. They’ve made 5 Hobbit figures, and Bilbo and Thorin recently sold out. And Thranduil is getting a rerelease. They released all The Hobbit figures around the same time 6 years ago and not many probably had the money to spend on them all at once. Hobbit merch sells...
Thought I’d ask here since I saw someone mention it, but I have the Nazgul on preorder and going into my account on Asmus it says pending balance of $185, and there’s a bulk payment button but tapping that does nothing, and scrolling over to the “make payment” section says “You cannot order...
Got one new and sealed in original brown shipper a few months ago for a hefty price but so worth it! Amazing figure. By Durin I want more Hobbit figures… At least Diamond Select said they’re gonna do some Hobbit characters soon, so it’ll get some love even if it’s not 1:6 scale.
That’s the worst when it’s that much and it’s not brand new sealed in packing. I did it for Asmus Tauriel a few months ago since I was dying for the figure and for almost a year no one was selling even used ones. But a seller had one pretty much new with all accessories for 3x retail and I...
People say otherwise but Hobbit merch sells. Look at the aftermarket for a lot of it. Even the Bridge Direct 6 inch Azog goes for $100+. I managed to grab him a few weeks ago for around $85 (I love Azog and just really wanted the figure for a long time). And you’re right on the Thorin statues...
Hope they have the rights to The Hobbit too, and with Gandalf include his staff from that trilogy too. Love that design. I think the new CS Gandalf from Asmus even included it. Would love to see QS tackle some Hobbit characters, too.
I love his and Bilbo’s conversation as Bilbo’s preparing to leave Erebor in BOTFA. Also when he first steps through the hidden door, Stott’s acting (and Richard’s) is so raw and emotional. And I love his “the courage of Hobbits…” speech to Bilbo. Honestly, I love every part of these movies. 😂
Hobbit stuff sells. Just look at Weta’s stuff. And they recently revealed Thorin and Azog Mini Epics. Asmus made 5 Hobbit figures that all released around the same time, and that’s what hurt them. Releasing one figure every year, hell maybe two, from The Hobbit would probably do great. It’s not...
Are you reading this Asmus? There’s interest for these characters! Azog shouldn’t be too hard to make, regardless of the costume you give him (with or without his BOTFA armor). There isn’t too many layers you’d have to make.
