I hadn’t even realised that 2023 is the 20th anniversary of Return of the King till Sir Richard Taylor mentioned it while unveiling Weta’s latest works.
So, we have a fantastic looking Thranduil on the way but it would seem like a missed opportunity to not announce something special from ROTK as well this year; a Black Gates Aragorn with Brego perhaps…
There’s actually a lot we haven’t seen from ROTK that I’d be all over- like
- Denethor
- King of The Dead!
- Armoured Merry and Pippin
- Minas Tirith Citadel Guards
- Gondorian Soldiers
- Armoured Faramir
- Mount Doom Frodo and Sam
- Haradrim Soldiers
- Orc disguise Frodo and Sam
- Gorbag
- Shagrat
- Shelob
- Coronation Aragorn
- Coronation Arwen
- Aragorn with Anduril
And the 2.0s for figures that are now really showing their age and inferior build quality by an Asmus in its infancy
- Eowyn
- Witch King
- Gothmog
- Guritz
So, Asmus, what say you?
