Ah, rats – I guessed 60s to start with but then changed it to 70s simply because I suspected they were pre-painted and didn’t realise that there was anyone producing pre-painted 30mm figures at that early date. Elastolin’s own were about 54mm, as we all know, but I’ve never heard of Hausser before. Presumably Elastonlin took them over to try to break into the 30mm market?

The least thing I am after is to boast with some figures. I do hope you believe me.
But, you know, these things are meant to be collected, played with but not being caved or covered in some cabinets or drawers.
Well, to cut it short, thing is that our dear Master Travelling Elrond overheard that I was talking with Master Gildor about taking some small pics for his database (which always reads “no picture yet”, or something like that). Two days ago that was, I think.
It all was about Christmas figures and that.
This morning I witnessed our dear Travelling Elrond giving instructions about who’s who and where to place for the pic …

he simply pointed out that we’ll have only those Aragorn-figures in the same pose …

… alas … he went on … not asking me of course, though I always try to host him well … just watch what he did, mostly always instructing my figures … even … er, can you imagine a sentence like “Galadriel, please come over here, ney there, now that’s better .. stay!”

See what I mean, he’s made a mess of my dear figures … and went on … alas

telling one of my most-loved Harad-conversion to come down from that socket (fortunately he didn’t listen to Elrond’s order)

then Elrond disappointedly turned to teach Môrlass how to behave … [at least that was eye in eye]

always telling everyone what is best to do … good grief … may I tell you what he did next? … always busy to being placed in scene after he gave his instructions to the poor photographer … he even …

Merci Theobald !
Helping Master ELrond to meet so many precious characters is a brillant idea.
And I guess he agreed that Harad-conversion is a marvel ?

I will have to keep them this way until The Man and the Company agree upon releasing the “Easterling-series”. So for me they so far are just substitudes I have to cope with.

Have a look at this amazing Wild Bunch!!!!!

These figures could be mithril figures.
They aren´t ! But they could be . . . already been sculpted!

Ha! The company simply doesn´t produce them . . . tss, tss. What a mistake!

I wonder if The Man has already passed them on to The Company? Could make a nice Phaeton Design release – The Mongols of the Asiatic plains maybe! 😉

the company may never release the easterlings serie… but that does not mean they will never be released

as David points out, it would be quite good Phaeton figurines … but that’s impossible at the moment as Mithril still owns the right on them…

Sorry, Nob usually licks the bar every evening, but it’s been so quiet that he’s taken a few days’ holiday.

Hello, dear Elrond-friends. Of course he’s fine, didn’t suffer neither from malnutrition nor thirst here (to be honest, he’s doesn’t care much about such worrldly-things, so a fine guest he is to host). I just wonder about where to send him next. Am I right that it’s Master Protozeus? – In case I’m right I should better contact him soon. Need an address before I give our Travelling Elrond a nice kick, right?
