I asked Micheal if he had any picture of my 1st winning suggestion and received some previews:

MS573 ‘Crebains reporting to Saruman’

I like the preview of my winning suggestion as well! Another round white hand shield is a nice detail.
The MS573 is a very nicely detailed figure also.

Saruman reminds me Radagast [mith]LR3[/mith] a lot

there is a similitude betwen this MS574 and [mith]M84[/mith] don’t you think?

as for Mauhur… yet another orc for me … still, I like the Helmet

I suppose you made a mistake by the way… MS573 is Beregond vignette, Saruman is MS574 and Mauhur is MS575 then?

I disagree about the similarity with those two Radagast-figures you referred to, Masters Milo and Gildor, though, of course the pose has to be similar.
To me the LR3-Radagast is far better than the M84 one, as it is much more dynamic in the way of being sculpted. Of course one reason for that is that LR3 isn’t only a single-piece figure. — Of course the pose has to be similar, as all those figures hold up a bird on one hand, while holding a staff with the other one. Mind that the new Sauron-figure holds its staff in the left hand. 😆

Reference n° is a bit strange I agree Gildor.
But this is what Michael wrote in last News letter, that Saruman was MS573 (it’s the file name also for pics), Beregond MS574…

You are being very wise again Master Ent. 😎

Yeah, and I’m left handed so for me this is just the good choice for my suggestion to hold a staff in left hand 😆

ah well maybe they inverted beregond and saruman due to scheduled release order… well I’ll modify

Not sure it’s even the reason Christophe otherwise MS575 would be Beregond as the orc should be released before Beregond…maybe just be another mistake. We should ask Michael or wait until these are available on mithril site.

It seems that “The Mithril’s left-handed Society” it’s finally working 😎

Michael just published next releases.
So now, we know the reference numbers for sure:

MS573 – Crebains reporting to Saruman
MS574 – Beregond fighting troll at the black gate
MS575 – Mauhur, Orc commander of Isengard

The wiki is updated and I also provided images to a french ME minis forum, this to revive their interrest in mithrils.
