Long time ago i wanted to create a Mithril museum and collect all rarities produces by Mithril & Chris “behind the scene”… but that’s a hard dream to achieve…
Now, most of you know about the abandonned warbands and there are lots of pics around.
Here I wanted to make a “Christmas exposition” as we are nearing Christmas, dedicated to all Christmas figurines made over the years, and including some unique prototypes that do not match any “series”. So here is my little pride… only one figurine is missing in this “hall of fame”, and of course you all know which one it is
(for a bigger version you can go there : http://mithril.faerylands.eu/img/halloffame2020.jpg)

Please , if you know any “gifts” or “protos” that are not on this picture, let me know. My goal is to federate all knowledge of Mithril (or Tolkien related stuff made by C.Tubb…)Is it Christmas day ?
What a pleasure to be able to admire all these rarities !
Congratulations Master Gildor, your pugnacity to achieve such a result deserves only our full respect !It would be wonderful to be able to contemplate them all with the last one, at the Western Open / Mithril Trophy 2021
!my pugnacity has ceased sometimes back in 2019… I used to have more faith, now all of this is just a “souvenir” I think
I still have some items to find but hope is gone
as for the trophy in 2021, well let’s hope we’ll be able…
sure thing master mornedhel
now though I still don”t know if other curiosities exist outside of my knowledge ?
well Patrick S is a christmas fig
fact is, no one ever found out if there was really a release for 1989 and what it really was as you well know. and I know there are other prorotypes around that I still miss. of course the ME2 (though Legolas and Saruman, even if not having a reference certainly are among the “ME” series), at least the Saruman one according to Chris, belongs to the same “range”.
I did not include other figurines from Chris from “non mithril range” but there could be others. (the Grenadier 54mm females, or the Phaeton Design range for example, and I also have managed to achieve my collection of Prince Agust “Characters” from CH1 to CH31, but I dont have many “Friends and Foes”, not very interested in them though I should but I think Milo has done a faaar better job than me on that
)I am still trying to collect what I miss, though I am not sure about what I miss …
maybe some variants. all help finding rarities to complete the “museum” is welcome. and I hope I’ll be able to “expose” next year
sorry to raise an old topic but I just wanted to say I included 32Proto2 (witch King) and 32Proto3 (Hobbit on horse) in the new site, I still miss good pic for 32Proto4 (Tuor)
I also need a good pic of 54Proto5 (Legolas) to publish it
but mostly I lack information details on the origin of all those prototypes… I may own those, I lack info on their background
I may also begin adding Bitume and Fantasy moulds (and Friends & Foes) soon enough…
