A quick video of a fell beast.
I saw one on ebay ,but its for a 6 inch figure but i would love one in 1/6 ... Just saw the neca balrog OH my thats a big guy....

I wouldn't mind seeing a Warg-Rider from TTT. I'm hoping Asmus gets really ambitious with this line.

 

[highlander1]

If anything I will be happy if i get all the ring wraiths. A lot of possibility's this line could have....

 

[The Josh]

This is going to make me want Arwen... Which will make me want Theoden.... Who I already want anyway.

Now you know what it's been like for me the last 12 years.

 

[Bucky Underbelly]

Yes, a 1/6 Fell Beast would certainly be impressive! Just a quick estimate from that video ... in addition to the Dewback or Jabba-sized body ... my guess is, it'd be at least 10 feet long from nose to tail, and probably have a 15 or 16 foot wingspan!

Though a statue could definitely be done where the neck and tail are more coiled and the wings are folded up. Even then, though ... HUGE.

Somewhere I've got the one ToyBiz did for the 6-inch figure. A nice gesture, but it was like the Ringwraith was riding a chicken! Easily too small by a factor of ten!

 

[Bucky Underbelly]

Now some 1/6 horses for the wraiths ... that might just be doable ...

This looks good. I'm worried about the face sculpts for future releases, if those are not good, this line will be dead. Any other figures they have put out in the past? Hot toys and sideshow have been pretty reliable with sculpts and quality, it's hard to tell from a brand I've never heard of.

That would be SO cool!!!

That's what I have been thinking, but, then again, sideshow 1/6 LOTR figures were lame, my opinion.

Asmus' head sculpts are not good.

However, they are associated with a sculptor who goes by the name VIVA who has done some good work.

Aye i will be curious to see what the likeness will be like on their LOTR figs.

They have such great potential, but the face sculpts will make or break this line. That night guard is a new release and misses the mark on many levels from them. I still hold out high hopes they will bring in the talent to get the sculpts right for this license.

Yeah that is my main concern with these guys. I wish all the best for them and want them to succeed, but I'm worried about their headsculpt/paint methods. They're nowhere near HT or even smaller companies like ACI, Art Figures, Blitzway, EB, etc. I hope they can prove me wrong.

I put the small Armies of Middle Earth Ringwraith on my ToyBiz fell beast. He's the perfect scale.

I think it is a paint app issue and not a sculpt issue.

 

[Cunning562]

Well, if asmus and viva team up, they will make great figures.

The Night Guard I'm betting they didn't have the rights to, that's why it's called that.

The company made the head and face nice but the body or hand is terrible , the one I received from the mask it really bad.

 

[The Ween]

I'll get this one and if it stinks, I won't get anymore. It's not like I'll miss something because I never figured we'd get anymore anyway.
