news from Chris and results from the Suggestion poll.

….lot’s of interesting information’s….. Lot’s. I like all of them. And about Balrog…both figures could be appropriate…. finally in stories were more than one Balrog….

And about Lord of Khand….. smile is on my face…. like these…. 😆🙂

Fantastic news. And there will be two more Balrogs for my dioramas.
I need a drink now.

Thank you for the updates Gildor, interesting to hear CT’s views and ideas.

Doesn’t this really say something about Mithril – when Chris is ‘busting a gut’ to get feedback, opinions and ideas from us, the company do nothing (up front at least!).

Great to see such enthusiasm from Chris – scandalous to hear he doesn’t have a copy of one of the finest GF figures to date, if I had a spare I would send him one.

I would love to see the Grey Company produced, my thoughts would be a mix – I did have an idea long before the possibility of them becoming a reality, of either mustered at Rivendell (receiving Arwen’s banner – I had in mind to utilise the two M343 (Aragorn as Halbarad) and LR40 Arwen with banner figures) before journeying to join Aragorn, or at the Paths of the Dead.

Either way, a mix of both would suit me, the difficulty being the poses so that they can be used as a group, or for different purposes (I guess action poses would suit the gamers out there more).

I would like to point out that Gildor’s shock about Chris’ “little PS” did not surprise me at all. It just proved what I know for quite some years.
He did (and does) not receive any of the final castings of his (sic!) figures from that company.
So far I never did tell about this – Gildor knows why. It always was because I did not want to “broadcast in public” (Chris’ words) what he reveiled to me and as he asked me not to do so. So I always kept away from doing that. I was in some contact with Chris, especially about the last two MX-releases, as you all might guess. – (The last one of that was especially hard to handle with Mr Edman.)

Caused by the latest discussions I feel free to give away examples of what I had to learn within the last years – at least things that have to do with this matter.

After we (Chris and me) were lucky having been able to release the MX-Imrahil, as a kind of introduction to the then coming M-Swan-Knights-release I contacted Chris about the poor quality of the priming of the M-release. He was more than surprised and angry. Fact was he did not receive any copy of the released figures from the company. HE SIMPLY DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM. (And he couldn’t be aware of it, not at all. When I sent him one of the MX-Imrahils(extra-castings) he he thanked me for that and confirmed that he is not used to receive copies of the figures as they are sold.
Sorry, but here I have to ask why he didn’t ask the company to send him those. Was he too trustworthy about the production?
Anyway, then he took it all in his hands not to disappoint us customers any more and contacted LE about the primer problem. I can imagine that it was a rather hazardous situation as LE was about to use up (sic) all that “slicky stuff” for the further realeases that was still on store. – Then it was Chris who took his time to find out about a better spray for the figures, as he did not want to have his sculptings spoiled. Therefore Mr LE had to dump the rest of his “hoard” (or mix it elsewhere – I don’t know).
A bit later it was the time when I submitted the MX-UP. Then (after all this primer-discussion in public) I had a clear agreement with Chris. That MX will never be released with such a primer, better let it be unsprayed ( I think in the end it was better for the MX). By the way with the production of that MX Chris spent a weekend to take a flight to the company in Ireland to watch the mould-making to be sure that everything and every part would be moulded at its best.

As for another matter that also has been discussed somewhere around here:
I can confirm that so far I did not receive any broken mould of Imrahil or the UP, as it once was part of the agreement for MX-Figures.

Sorry, friends … with this I just want to support Gildor’s disappointment about the way Mr Edman treats Mithril, Chris and us.
By giving away some details … I do hope Chris doesn’t feel angry about it. It just fits to what Gildor already stated.
I tried to contact Mr Edman directly some days ago and await answers.

Well, that’s all I can do at the moment … so let’s keep fingers crossed about the future of Mithril and that some anger and disappointment will be solved in the very near future …. rrrhhhhooommmm ….

Puhh, this behaviour of LE is really awful! Inacceptable.

Another positive thing: Christmas presents . . .
Maybe the Lord of Khand could have a look like this:

Master Archer, this pic is a great inspiration….
It looks like a combination of 3 minis to me!
I like very much!

M241 as the base, then I thought 235 the head of the Bard, and m116B arm with helmet. + any suitable arm for the right side, depending on what the finished man is supposed to do with this one…
I had a closer look and think Broddas head looks better then the one of the bard.

I know nothing… sorry Master shadyt! :rolleyes:
