noelchiew

syuki

Wander_fool

No strider bow? sad.gif
noelchiew
think the strider bow looks like just a normal bow so nothing special about it. can buy from any bow shop??

it's usually the legolas' bow that's been offered online.

some people in another forum was hoping the king of the dead's sword would be made. but i think nothing great leh. the character's screen time is so short. his role also nothing much, basically appear at the end then when served his purpose, dies... anyway here's how it looks like...

haha yeah i read the thread too..


upon close up, the sword looks liek it has some design elements frm rohan blades on the pommel, and the sword guard, looks a bit like glamdring...


overall a very plain blade...wonder if its one of those "Pwer" swords in Tokiens' world...anyone can verify?
syuki
nothing is told about his sword in the books.

i think strider was carrying a ranger bow as since in the website. smile.gif he was a ranger before becoming king rite? wink.gif anyway really not that interetsed in the king of the dead stuff... maybe except the toybiz glow in the dark king of the dead figure drool.gif

i would like king elessar's crown made.

an update on the anduril scabbard, it will most prob be released at dec/jan. the reason UC gave was they had problems with the strider scabbard and would make sure the anduril scabbard would not have the same prob. thus, releasing it error free and not releasing a poor quality one. so that's why it had been pushed back so late from the earlier release date of june/july.

bbb also said they will release a belt for the anduril scabbard about the same time as the scabbard is released. think i will get the belt to match the scabbard.
Wander_fool
i was wondering bro, will the anduril scabbard fit both the LE and UL versions of anduril? and with the scabbard, will the anduril still be place on the wall plaque? rubchin.gif rubchin.gif seems interested in one to protect my anduril.
noelchiew
hm... it all depends on whether it's fitting or not. i guess it makes sense to be a little fitting. if not imagine aragorn riding on his horse and he has to hold on to his sword from all the bouncing from the horse's ride?

i think the scabbard will not hold on to the sword if placed onto the plaque. it being metal will be heavy and will drop. i dont think they will make it so tight as it may cause friction on the blade and i dont think ppl would want that.

both LE and UL andurils are the same so of course they will both fit into the scabbard. in fact i do think that narsil will fit it also.

i sure hope u are right on tat.. smile.gif

i intend to fit my narsil into the anduril scabbard... anduril's runes shld be left exposed when displaying for me personally...

anyway, hope they dun make the scabbard too tight fit... jus like the one for the strider sword... it can't even fit all the way in...
noelchiew
yeh i was saying UC noticed the problems with the strider scabbard and they were holding back the release of anduril scabbard to make sure it doesnt have any defects. so most likely we will see a much better scabbard than the strider's!

yeah... tats good news indeed..

the strider's scabbard was terrible... i suspected it was responsible for wearing off the protective layer on my strider sword at the edges near to the cross guard...(cos i tried the scabbard at caesar's eons ago b4 deciding to only get the sword without the scabbard...) resulting in rust setiing in.. anyway.. got a replacement for the sword.. like i mentioned many many posts back..
noelchiew
wha so bad huh. looks like they really cocked up on that scabbard. sad to hear... luckily you managed to get the sword changed. if not heart pain and a little angry also huh.
Wander_fool
btw wats does the strider material made off... do u guys think they might use the same for the anduril version? rubchin.gif rubchin.gif
noelchiew
the site says: Solid metal collar and tip with an antiqued metal finish. Genuine leather wrap and straps. Brass finished fittings and buckles.

prob the same, wait for further details...
Wander_fool
thanks for the info bro.... maybe should wait a little longer after it is released and collect some feedbacks first before deciding whether to get it. rubchin.gif rubchin.gif
noelchiew
check out Sauron's Sword, looks short to me... weird.
syuki
rubchin.gif Does Sauron use his sqord in the movie ?
noelchiew
not that i am aware of... more updates on UC products

QUOTE (Kit Rae)
We will likely make the crown but we are still waiting on the actual prop from New Line to review. If it happens it won't be for a while, but we really want to make it. It would probably be limited to a number similar to the metal helms UC makes ad come with some type of display stand, perhaps just a black mannequin head like the ones in the LOTR exhibit tour...

...We mocked up several displays concepts a while back, and the mannequin head was nixed early on. What we came up with, I think, will be one of the nicest displays we have made for an LOTR product. It's kind of like what you would actually see the crown displayed on in the White City, in King Elessar's chambers. Of course, we are still in the concep stage, so nothing is firm yet. I have not visited this thread since my last post, so it has been intersting to see how similar most of the ideas stated here are to what we actually came up with. Lets us know we are on the right track.


so elessar's crown is still in the very early stages. would take a while before it's out. hopefully it's not that expensive as obviously the material used is so much lesser than the other helms currently. but it will be LE still...

see some shots of it here... Elessar Crown

UC IS making a mini Hadhafang. drool.gif
noelchiew
so they have officially annouced that? been waiting so long, thought it would come out first as i read from caesar's site that it will be out mid this year. turns out there was no annoucement at all so i wonder why they said that.

instead the strider's sword is the next in line... which was out of the blue. good to hear news about the hadhafang finally, perhaps they pulled it back to do some adjustments.

though i think they took too long to release it as nc's mini hadhafang has been out for a long time already.

MR is giving the finger to us ohmy.gif

Wander_fool
would still prefer the UC gantlet... rubchin.gif rubchin.gif the finger looks a little lonly without the rest of the hand. drool.gif anyway, agree with u noel bro, sauron's sword seems to be a little short for a large figure like him. duh.gif
syuki
We wants both of it. rock.gif
Wander_fool
Wow!!! clap.gif clap.gif u are really serious bout getting both huh?
noelchiew
ok there's a great idea but you need to have money for it.

get both mr's and uc's sauron's finger and guantlet. now, buying both will mean that you have both the before and after scenario of the last alliance battle.

uc's guantlet will represent sauron's hand before his finger is cut off. then you have mr's finger to show how it's like after his finger is cut off by isildur.

now personally i would love to have this... but no $$$. also, it's perfect if both are to scale. if not, then not so realistic?
syuki
Well, both are to scale.

I like MR's one cause it has the rock around there also, looks cool.
Wander_fool
so u prefer the rock to the finger? drool.gif drool.gif juz joking... i like the glowing wordings on the ring of the MR finger.
syuki
Not that way but it compliments each other.
noelchiew
oh? both are scaled to each other? so they are of same size which means it perfect if you are getting both...
syuki
BOth are 1:1 scale so both should be the same size.

oh tat... ahem.. its caesar's lah..

and if u hv followed thread many many posts ago... u shld know their fame, or rather notoriety...
noelchiew
aiyo, i'm not asking you to go all the way down to see. what i meant was if you had ever gone to st before then you should know.

but you are from across the causeway so that's why you dont get the meaning...

caesars if you do not know sell replica pistols and swords... any also on lotr jewellery and to a certain extend some ssw and toybiz figure. heck, they even have applause rings...

but nowadays we do not buy UC swords from them... not that worth. wink.gif
