Many Mithril Pages @ Faerylands

Yes they did Master Barliman, they did.
The old lady is moving again!  
Sometimes a little pat on the back works wonder!

Well I guess it depends on what you use to pat with...

It should do with Nob, but if it doesn't you can always try good old club . . . with tiny spikes (just for motivating, you kow)

Warm? It's snowing here again at the moment!

When things get tough, the tough get logging. Ah yes, the joys of a crackling log fire! But isn't that virtually cannibalism to an Ent?

Now these:

Are gorgeous.

Congrats to those who suggested them!

I agree to our Innkeeper c o m p l e t e l y !
What a marvellous horseman, this wizard is! And there is so much potential to give this figure different associations/sorroundings/contextes . . .
Master Barliman, the expression: "not being my cup of tea", I should overtake into my vocabulary!  
No she isn´t, unfortunately!

Hm, the assassin is very disappointing. And ... no beard with Radagast? I somehow imagine him very differently. Bombur looks nice. But hey...

[Edit: Now that I have her in front of me, the assassin looks better than I originally thought! ]

groooommmmmmmmmmm ... homhuoomm .... hom ... time goes by ... huoomm ... or even passes ... huomm ... anyway, it tends to slip away somehow ... huom ... one more entry here and I will have matched up with the present date of year... groouummhommm ... let me please tell you that I feel sorry for each and every nerve of yours I trampled upon since we met here ... huooommmmmmmhuomhom ...

Snowed in Bree again today too, but a mere dusting, fit to cool a Hobbit's toes. So, everyone seems to want cups of tea now, then? I'll get Nob to put the kettle on (though it's a bit large for his head).

well radagast without beard was foresseable... previous Radagast from mithril did not have any, they ca't change the design throughout the range... still once painted he can appear definitly old enough... Istari were said to have doned the body of very old men when they left Valinor....but very old man does not necessarily means bearded... i suppose beard marks a person as wise (that's a cliché..) bu radagast has so often been presented as "dumb" that hehe why not

the asassin though is disappointing.... her traits cloak dagger and aspect in general lack... sharpness. that's the best way i find to describe the problem

Hello from the frozen tundra. This Winter my home has been as snowed in as Forochel! The snowbanks at the end of the lane are so high that an Assassin could hide behind them.

Speaking of Assassins, I was the one who suggested her first, and eventually the time she won. Dispite a vocal minority, eventually a majority thought she'd make a good addition. So my opinion is biased. I'm sorry to hear that Chris's rendition has dissapointed some above.

But I just saw two days ago that she was ready for sale. Do some of those who are displeased actually have the figure already? Or are the comments based on the pictures on the Mithril site, or just general opposition to the idea? Certainly our barkeep doesn't have one in hand as he has said he wouldn't even buy it if offered money. Now of course, we must wonder about that as he is always harping on us to give him coiny things and I have never heard him to turn down something for free! And then there is his penchant for making broad proclamations (you know, exaggerations).

Well, I hope it is the latter, and that in one's hand the opinions about the famale assassin of Dol Amroth will change. I'll withhold judgement until I see her up close.

I also would have liked Bombur in mail, especially now that after fours years we finally get not one but two of them including the upcoming UP release, which I am looking forward to very much! I also favor Radagast with a beard, even though he hasn't always been produced that way. Living in the wild with birds and animals and sometimes not much shelter, a beard seems appropriate, especially in winter.

Again, I will wait until I have all figures in hand to pass any judgement.

There is a Radagast with beard, the LR3 from the Five Istari Linited Range (although is a short one and it seemed he shaved it soon after posing for this sculpt...)
