I checked yesterday. Orcs are same kind and size as per M222. So these are standard sized.
Sorry no picture yet master archer. I need to take time for this…which I lack a lot.
Wait till you see them “in the flesh” (so to speak). They look disappointingly small and skinny alongside Mithril’s other Helm’s Deep and War of the Ring era figures.
In particular compare them to LT9 – the most relevant Orc figure Mithril have put out so far.
In my view the only Orc Engineer figure that compares in size and bulk is the “officer” – who, incidentally, has a rather nice shield motif.
what shocked me the most is the tiny faces of these orcs… I know I “hate” painting orcs because I find them lacking details or “thinness” in their body usually, and that’s why I was surprised to see a … thin face for them…
In times where it is possible to take photos with mobiles or digital cameras everywhere-
maybe there is somebody out there who is able to post a picture of these small figures . . . ????????
That would be very kind indeed.
well definitly they lack muscles and head size… the size is correct but the thickness is missing… you can see that mainly on the third pic, the arm muscles are quite different!
same for the head in first picture, the new orc head is too “long” and not wide enough
Well- A very big MERCI at this point to Master Milo for his energy to take those pictures and uploaded them!
Quiet interesting to see what everybody here is talking about.
The orc-examples Milo choosed are not that small in my memory . . . the M222 is not small at all, for my taste.
I think- important is that those orcs can be count as a “group”. All together they fit.
I think I will have a look “in the flesh” in the near future because I do know a fellow who got them . . . at that time in the future . . . 😎
Well, I received the new orcs some days ago and assembled them yesterday. – Indeed those orcs are slightly smaller than others in the Mithril range (especially if you compare them with orcs from the old “Orc-Army-Set”). All in all I’m not too much disappointed at all. Though … there’s still a certain image in my mind about Saruman’s Uruk-Hai, as they were described by Tolkien. Anyway, I’m glad that in the end those figures saw the light. I wish others would follow.
Hm. Again I thought about all this. Four of the five new figures are called “Orcish”, which implies that they’re similar to Orcs, but not exactly the same. – Err, whatever that means. – Then I wonder why they’re officially listed by Mithril as MM-figures though the subreferences clearly read ‘M’ for the old M-series.
But all that might not be of any importance in case the last releases mean that the old M-series is not given up for good.
