Asmus Toys : Lord of the Ring thread

[Wor-Gar]

Definitely will be fun to see them try. There will be a scramble at some bottleneck point.

But so far we know we have coming:

Preorders:
Gothmog
Gandalf

Bits we've seen:
Aragorn
Guritz
Mouth of Sauron

Pieces we've heard mentioned:
Gimli


Hoping for:
Saruman
Lurtz

That quote above is from January. We've had a lot of news since then, some additional preorders, and a few more mentioned figures in the works: Eowyn, Aragorn Strider, Saruman.

Wonder if its time to bring this thread back since Asmus is not answering in his own thread so much right now. We can discuss in here without Asmus thinking we're asking questions.

Does anyone have a listing of all the figures we've seen teases of characters or of the characters that Asmus mentioned are on the books to be made?

If not, we can start one:

In hand:
Witch-King
Gothmog

Preorders:
Guritz
Gandalf
Ringwraith and Steed

In the works:
Aragorn
Mouth of Sauron
Eowyn

Promised pieces:
Gimli
Saruman (next year)


Let me know what other figures anyone here remembers mention of as something that is actively being produced. That means, if Asmus responded that they were working on that exact figure, not a "wish list" please.

Are we getting an Arwen???

 

[Gruff Old Bear]

What, no Tom Bombadil?!?

**ducks head**

**ducks head**

Well he wasn't in the movies so he must not have been an important character.
**ducks head even more**

Hear this Asmus... ARWEN. Make it happen!!!

 

[Wor-Gar]

I recently got the ToyBiz Arwen because a few people said it wasn't bad. It's bad. So yeah, I need an Arwen.

I don't know about that.

Yes, you should.

Asmus mentioned it several times, said to possibly expect it next year. Not sure which thread, maybe in here some pages back.

EDIT:

Found one ref in this Ask Asmus thread...

Once we got photos from the factory, I will post here to share with you guys~

MOS, and Sauron will all defintely be done, don't worry~
may not be as soon, because we have just made a Ringwraith stead, so going to wait a while and make sure we get a good grip on the horse before go on to another horse figure~

There was also a post somewhere where he said not to expect Sauron before 2015.

Man, 1/6 Sauron would be badass... really hope we see this happen.

That would be a instant pre order for me. My top two besides the ones promised would be arwen and sauron.

 

[Bucky Underbelly]

I'm really hoping they actually mean Sauron. That would rock so hard. But they've had some troubles in the past with spelling (I don't think English is a first language.) So I figure there's at least a chance they might mean Saruman.

Which I would also totally love, but maybe not quite so much as a two foot Sauron figure.

 

[The Chev]

Mouth of Sauron would be pretty cool too.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Mouth is my MOST anticipated figure coming from Asmus (we even saw the head sculpt sneak some time back).

 

[Dag Marus]

I just want a Merry, Pip, and Gimli to go with Frodo and Sam, so my Fellowship will be complete. I've been using the old Toy Biz Gimli that's shorter than the Hobbits. Has to his his lack of height behind a fake rock base. Though...a Legolas that actually looks like Legolas wouldn't hurt...

 

[Kraken Guard]

Me having a soft spot for the orcs...
Ahh, an orc fan like me can only dream... ^^

 

[Tolkienfreak]

We need sauron right now!!!

 

[SirGor]

Hot Dam Sauron Really Very Cool Asmus!

 

[pixiegirl1492]

Are we getting an Arwen???

I second that I WOULD LIKE AN ARWEN AS WELL!

Plus, a Legolas that looks like a Legolas
