DiD Lord of the Rings - wave 2

[Darklord Dave]

Anyone have pics of DiD's planned 2nd wave of LotR figures? I remember it was Saruman and about 3 different orcs.

Perhaps SSC would sublicense out to DiD now that they aren't interested in doing LotR 1/6th?

If it were in scale and of comparable quality I would dig that.

 

[abake]

If they were to be made to today's standards of DiD's WWII figures, they would absolutely rule.

 

[pixletwin]

Make it so, Dave. Do some of that voodoo you do so well.

Dave, we await a miracle!

I would love to see DiD step into more commercial figures... they have more than proven themselves with the military and historical figures. If the likenesses were just a bit better they could be a real contender

 

[Wor-Gar]

I've never senn Wave 2 figures from DiD...but Saruman and 3x Orcs is exactly what I want!

Please someone post pics if you got 'em.


I would love to convert that Orc head that came with Boromir into a figure, but I don't even know where to begin to find outfit parts for him. I'm not even sure exactly what the Moria orcs wore.

 

[Darklord Dave]

Found them - all post more tonight. Can't say they blow me away, but some of the armor is decent.

 

[Wor-Gar]

COOL!

I did find a reference in Michael's Review of the original DiD figures:

A second series is planned, which will include Saruman and six different Orcs.

What year was this?

 

[Wor-Gar]

What year was this?

Long ago.... In the dark ages.

 

[Darklord Dave]

2004.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Saruman's not bad -- I see they reused Gandalf's boots, probably his undershirt too.

That a good enough start for me. How do we get this?

 

[dwing]

We don't. DID desided not to produce. One of the orcs looked like Gothmog.

GOTHMOG!!!?

[abake]

Saruman actually looks pretty good.

Did you not catch that these were from 2004? And they weren't exactly licensed, at least not properly.

But how can you even begin to start to say that they'd be alot (sic) better than SSC's? DiD hasn't really improved in 4 years whereas Gandalf and the hobbits are many light years beyond DiD's freshman efforts.

yeah, but i thought maybe these were being talked about again and hopefully they are DID have come along way since 04 and should branch out into more commercial things. Sideshow should give them the chance to make more lotr stuff again and im sure it would be awesome.
