Unfortunately it’s the exceptions that I would have been interested in. But I’m sure there’ll be another sale anon.

Look on red circles, mail coat seems to be the armour.
I suggest we have the miniature in hands before entering this “plate” debate again.

Well, I think you need to eat more carrots to improve your eyesight, Master Milo – look at the plate pieces at the top of his left arm (top of arm also equals shoulder)! Mail protects the underside of his arm, but the outer surface defence is plate. If I’m wrong when the figure arrives I’ll give you three free breakfasts – at the same time. And if you’re wrong you’ll have to pay for them.

We’ll know for certain once the figure arrives.

And Master Gildor – I didn’t say I didn’t like the figure. In fact I like it very much indeed. I wouldn’t buy it otherwise. I just steadfastly stick to my oft declared viewpoint that MERP / Angus McBride’s misguided devotion to plate armour in Tolkien’s “early medieval” world is plain wrong.

It is true my eyes may play with my mind sometimes.:lol:
I accept the chance to eat 3 times for free or to pay 3 times for good food.
In case you are wrong, may I request also to hear a song from you?

Certainly. But you’ll need to place your ears at least eight yards apart. I have a very wide range.

Well, my suggestion of this Easterling archer is still a bit behind . . .
Let´s corrupt:
a round of Barli´s finest scrumpy, a dinner of three parts including a perfect done roast goose, cigars after dinner and . . .
for all who vote for that archer! 😎

Can anyone here give me a link to a site where the old Heritage Custom Cast LOTR range of figures are listed and illustrated? Many thanks, gentlemen.

I like him. I suspect the Man serves two masters, rendering MERP figures. He draws inspiration from the McBride and Danforth images, but he also goes for continuity with older Mithrils. So this figure definitely looks a bit like the MERP covers, but also the Mithril Second Age Numenoreans.

It’s a beautiful figure. I don’t mind bits of plate with the mail – that sort of agrees with the likely depiction of the Knights of Dol Amroth.

Hardcore “gothic” plate may vaguely work for the Second Age, but it really introduces a whole different “look” to the range.

You must not think I’m so rich. Just that due to high prices (in my opinion) of the figures, I can only buy when discounted appear. That is when I try to update my collection ….
Ah! too many hobbies …….. :rolleyes:

Unfortunately the Varig Archer didn´t make it . . . I don´t have to invite the crowd anymore . . .
Therefore I can offer you a drink as well, Master Barli.

Nor did Elfhelm. Where were the friends who offered their support the last time that he didn’t win? Not a single vote for him, other than my own. That’s his most disappointing attempt yet. I begin to think that I may be flogging a dead horse – literally.
