I just saw a very unique Dwarf in newsletter: MS617 Thorin and Roäc.
I love it ! Especially the face which seems to be new CT style.

Yes, it’s nice, but the raven looks rather too small – ravens are socking big birds. Proportions would be about right if this was a man, but it’s a dwarf. It should be about 20%–25% bigger.

I think ravens are same size as Saruman Crebains. Am I right ?

Crebain are inventions of JRRT, and seeminly crow-like. Crows are considerably smaller than ravens.

This is wise comparison.
CT may think crebains are raven-like.

Yes: the raven do look a bit too small. But anyway,this seems to be a really nice figure . . .

Oh I share your thoughts but that face is looking very different form the rest so maybe you are right Milo!! In fact it looks a lot like Gimli from the LOTR movies xD

New hole in range (MS618 – Merry sounds the horn of Rohan) but 2 new releases added in MMP database.

As I said somewhere else, Angbor is a very nice figure, and much needed, but he should be mounted!! Whoever suggested him should have saved him for a mounted figure month.

Thorin is nice too, though his bird isn’t as raven-ish as it could have been, in particular the size/shape of his beak, and he’s probably a bit small – perhaps only 80% what he should be?

I’m moaning a bit this morning, aren’t I? That’s probably because I’m just off to see one of my various doctors – that always puts me in a bad mood!

Well, as for the MS618 figure I think that should be the winner of November 2014 (Earnur at the battle of…) as Angbor was the winner in December 2014. I hope I remember well.
Then keep in mind that so far the winner of May 2014 also is not released yet (Merien, princess of Dol Amroth).

I don not understand what is blocking Merien. In November 2014, Chris wrote to me “My figure of Merien is long completed and is at the factory awaiting release”.

Perhaps the Tolkien Estate objected to her for some reason?

I think Michael wrote somewhere there has been a mistake between CT & PA about this mini and it shall be released in january 2016.

See, that’s the way things go wrong.

Mornedhel, I have seen the picture you provided of a finished Merien-figure once as well.
No, Barliman, TE did not object to that figure being produced.
Then, about a few months ago there was again one more hassle about figures and dates and numbers. So then I contacted Michael and asked him about Merien. After a while he aswered (I think maybe also somewhere in public) that “the problem” was solved after Chris (that’s what Michael said) had “misplaced” the finished figure somewhere but had sent it to Ireland in the meantime. And by then everything was fine again and the Merien-figure will be released early in 2016.

So, to come to an Ent, I guess that things like this can quickly turn into rumours … and you know what is characteristic of rumours, don’t you.
Well, after some days also the “problem” with a missing MS505 that “Khador” reveiled on the official Mithril-Fellowship-board was solved by Mr O’Brien. (You find that in this annoying-and-luckily-seldom-used shout box-thing … alas I’m getting back to my Treeish whenever I get angry, sorry)

Merien is covered by a scarf and veil of secrecy…. I hope she will be produced soon….

Seems that they aim for “Bilbo wearing the Ring” this year…

Well, Merien does look good.
