Bloody Hedgehog posted:I think it's just GW's attitude that LoTR is now a secondary property. 40k and Sigmar are well into what I call GW 2.0 sculpts, where things have really gone from just minis, to mini works of art. Like they put all their top sculptors on those properties. All their second tier sculptors are on stuff like LoTR, where they're still churning out basic minis that might as well have come out 20 years ago for their lack of quality. Also, don't underestimate New Line/Tolkien's capacity for MASSIVE self-owning. They were gigantic pains in the rear end to deal with back in the day and I can't imagine they have got much better. If you ever want to ruin Brian Nelson's day, ask him about sculpting the original Arwen.

GET INTO DA CHOPPA posted:This sounds like a story I'd like to hear. Essentially the sculpts had to be approved by a whole litany of people that probably had no clue what they were looking at. New Line, Tolkien, agents, all the way up to the actual actors for people that had likeness rights in their contracts. Needless to say, that portion of the approvals had 'varied' responses. Elijah Wood and Sean Bean apparently were all 'whatever, I'm getting paid', Sean Astin, Viggo Mortensen, and Ian McKellen were legit psyched that they were gonna be l'il metal mans. Then there was Liv Tyler. Wouldn't approve her likeness and would provide useful feedback like 'a princess should be beautiful.' Not sure how long it took to finally get something that was approved, but long enough that they almost canceled the code. I never got to ask Brian about that experience, but he always seemed a bit testy at the best of times, so I can only imagine his reaction to a reminder of those days.

They look like they would be fun to paint, so there is that. It sounds like you might have cause to worry when/if a FAQ comes out for them, though maybe they will be fixed, maybe not...

 Looks like they are finally getting around to doing Snakebite-ish Orks that have lots of wacky Squigs.

Amazed that the chains/charms are coming off of the shoulder pads and aren't used as nipple tassels.

 Says they are polymer clay, I'm guessing Fimo or some other rando Michael's clay. Also says it is like 5", so that is probably the pose they are going for. I will say the sculpting could use some work, but I am more charitable about the paint job.
