Too many pieces to open individual threads. Will do so as they actually single out each one.

Whoa! These guys are going all out. I saw a 1/3 Gil-Galad in there. I’m interested in the 1/4 charging Aragorn and Eomer.

Still waiting for Darkside Ada Wong.... But these do look really cool. I'm sure the prices won't be really cool.

[KiDD]

Wow, I absolutely love Howe's art so this is great news! I hope that they stay true to the artwork.

I sold all my LotR pieces and I just want a single piece for the franchise so I have the Prime1 Balrog on PO but some of these might be hard to resist.

I May be tempted.

I hope they succeed. I could see myself being in on the fellowship, Azog, Mouth of Sauron, Witch King and Eowyn. Otherwise I hope to be satisfied with Prime 1’s pieces I already have on order.

Some of the 1/3 choices puzzled me. Gil-Galad is barely in the movies. He’s important to lore as a ring bearer, but then they included Elrond. If that’s the case, why not use the final three ring bearers in Galadriel, Elrond and Gandalf.

Also the usage of various elven soldiers. Don’t get me wrong, their costumes are amazing and I love them. I just figured they’d be a safer bet at 1/4 scale as part of one of these dioramas instead of museum pose 1/3.

Looks like they are copying the Weta statue line name too...
