What a weird swerve to not include an unmasked head. The likeness rights clearly aren't an issue as they haven't been for decades, but maybe approval? Huh. If it's cost - that needs to be worked out because no unmasked head, no purchase.
I saw Sam and Saruman in person yesterday and Sam had a weird factory ripple issue on his face, which was otherwise a great likeness.
Yay for the Witch King and Eowyn!

Figure in the presentation was a prototype, we haven't finalized accessories yet. I'm waiting to hear back what she will come with. Solicitation should give more details next month.

please let the team know that that having the blade of the Witchking be visible through the flame is one of the coolest looking effects I have ever seen on an accessory. (It almost looks as if the flame is removable?)
if Eowyn comes with a headsculpt and an attached scabbard (the belt across her body holds her scabbard so it should be easy to implement) this is looking to be the best of what I’ve been very strong recent waves.
really excited to see The Hobbit figures in the next wave.
@arondir I believe the flame effect is removable. At least, when I was setting up the prototype, I slid the flame onto the blade.
Are you able to give an estimate on when Merry and Pippin will ship?
and an estimate on when Eowyn and Witch-King will be up for preorder?
The Gimli diorama that went up for PO last night looks great! I like the Balin’s Tomb base*. I hope the next dio is a creature.
*I really wanted the reissue to be a Moria orc with more accessories and a Balin’s Tomb base. How cool would that have been to tie into the cave troll?

Loving the line so far.
Is there an estimate on when Eowyn/Witch-King will be up for preorder?
Any word on what accessories are coming with the translucent Frodo?
Now that the cave troll is out here is my wishlist for other creatures to get from the gallery line:
1. Black Gate Troll
2. Fell Beast
3. Shelob
4. Goblin King (The Hobbit)
I think an Ent would be really really hard to get right considering the amount of detail it would require, if they attempt one and nail it, it would be their magnum opus imo. Balrog is simply too big to do any amount of justice.
Oof. No Shelob for me. Never ever ever. Too creepy. 🤣 I still get weirded out when I remember seeing her figure on store shelves way back when (she and Gollum/Smeagol were maaaajor peg-warmers), and how they packed her to basically look like a dead spider. Yuck. Bleck. Gross. Crazy to think though that a figure of her size used to just come in regular packaging at regular price!
I know we saw some photos of the figures, but was it ever said when Eowyn and The Witch King would go up for pre order?

Ha! I scared my wife with that Shelob. I had Shelob hanging from the shower faucet. Needless to say after that prank Shelob was never seen in the house again.
