Asmus Toys - Bard

[rjszar]

Pretty sure that's the same sculpt -- face anyway -- the hair has been updated. Face is a bit soft...

Same lines on the brow, same hair under the lip. Everything matches, just softer. But you can see where added hair bits have been made.

Could be right. The added hair does make a difference though. Lost a lot of the gruffiness. Probably a good thing.

Maybe .... the other one is the original raw sculpt and this one could be an early casting from that. Maaaybe?

Just a thought.

(I'm guessing the hair on either side of his face will be cast separately.)

Someone remind me - is he getting released soon?

Someone remind me - is he getting released soon?

Asmus still has him listed on their site as shipping May 2015 so it should be soon...until they change it.

[superdoug]

Fantastic!

I have him preordered but I wonder if we can order him directly like Saurman and the Mouth of Sauron.

 

[CanadianBrandon]

That looks great! Vast improvement on the paint job! I'm so glad I ordered this!

 

[Jrobertson]

This looks awesome I cant wait to get this.

[Bucky Underbelly]

Looking good!

If it's time to ship, does that mean the figure in the picture is a production piece and not a prototype?

Because that would be welcome news!


Looking forward to weathering him up a bit. And possibly porting him over to a taller, lankier body. (Might be lens distortion in the picture, but his head looks a bit big. A taller body might fix that right up.)

That came out terrific! Love the coat too.

 

[superdoug]

The one thing that is really bugging me about it right now is the long wait I am going to have before it arrives at bbts. Other than that it looks fantastic from that picture. I am curious to see how sturdy the body is and if it will be on their own body.

Asmus - any chance for Thranduil?

 

[Glennfett]

Nice. Looks like they're taking their packaging game up a level with the Hobbit license.

Wonder if the next LOTR figures will also have the new style boxes.

 

[cmiller99]

Very nice looking box.

 

[Invictus Sol]

Wow, beautiful work. All the tweaks really paid off for this figure.
