Phaeton Miniatures

comparing a low number release such as this one, to a “general release” such as the White Council is not a good comparison according to me…

This release is more like a “Gold Fellowship” small batches release, and does not generate revenue by quantities sold. It is not like a “regular” big batches release.

Consider comparing it to [mith]MS435[/mith] http://mithril.ie/PBSCProduct.asp?ItmID=11378962
or [mith]MS578[/mith] http://mithril.ie/PBSCProduct.asp?ItmID=11414146

usually the Phaeton prices are £8 (9.46€) per figurine, so 7*8 = £56 for the “dark elves” alone, “Thor” not being taken into account, and neither the base. and the vignette price is still £55

Strangely, “regular single releases” such as Helm’s Deep 2 have a price of 11,95€ each which taken individually is far more expensive than Phaeton.
the “Gold Fellowhip single releases” are 21€ for 32mm scale, and rather 29€ for bigger figurines

Besides, the “god” and the base are in resin as far as I remember, else it would have been a lot more expensive.

because these are not dwarves, these are “dark elves” from nordic mythology… and the God is Thor…

I don’t remember posting this picture before? well this picture is from the Master, which was finalized some months ago. I had it but only got official authorization to post it now…

well the dark eves from the Edda in the nordic mythology were ennemies of the god Thor. who confronted them.

those dark elves in Norse Mythology , the “Dökkálfar”, are -sometimes- considered to be the dwarves, as they are dark small and live underground. There are other texts mentionning dwarves along the dark elves as two separate races but there is an ambiguity…

Nevertheless, the official description of this vignette is “Thor fighting the Dark Elves” as these are his archnemesis. Even the forthcoming Thor movies represents them as aliens from the “Dark World” (cf : http://collider.com/thor-2-dark-elves-images/ )

any ressemblance to another theme would be purely… coincidential…
