Hi there everybody

I am trying to rebuild an index of all known variants in the mithril range… I noticed my own data is far from complete and it requires some update.

Besides MX variants which are recent and referenced, I am talking of “old” variants rather

things like the MW337 B1, or the M86 bear with right paw, or M146 Nazgul with separated rider….

Zoetrop had made a list back in time, (appearing in the 2009 catalog) but itself is incomplete too… If you can help me track them all down along with pics, I could update both the database AND the gallery with them all

M86 : Beorn (1st version : right paw lowered, 2nd version : right paw upward)
M124 : Aragorn (1st version : single piece, 2nd version : right arm with sword separate)
M125 : Gandalf (1st version : sword outside, 2nd version : sword inside)
M138 : Saruman (1st version : flat belt in cloth, 2nd version : thin and rope longer belt)
M145 : Mouth of Sauron (1st version : two possible heads, 2nd version : only one head (full helm) )
M146 : Nazgul on horse (1st version : single piece, 2nd version : separated rider)
M260 : King Theoden on horse (1st version : front horse leg separate, 2nd version : horse in single piece)
MW337 : Gondor Officer on horse (1st version : front horse leg bent, 2nd version : front horse leg straight)

MX436 : Burzash (standard version : round shield, exclusive version : special form shield)
MX463 : Prince Imrahil (standard version : carrying a standard, exclusive version : brandishing a sword)

Personnaly I miss the M125 variant, M146 variant, and MW337 with straight leg, and the Mouth of Sauron with single head

Master elf, I think Gandalf variant never existed apart from Mithril Fellowship Book number one.

I Wonder if there might be also M262 Eomer which either come seperated from his Horse or not?

well, as of today I managed to get my hands on M86, M124, M138, M146, M260 variants and all the MX. I think I only miss the MW337 horse rider but this one may be harder…

I think you are right Milo, the M125 does not exist except on the leaflets.

As for the Mouth of Sauron, I have to check if I got one with single head … don’t remember…

Congratulations Gildor! That seems quite a feat.
