Re: THE TAPROOM 2

I asked Master Michael to be informed about the missing Durin IV.
Remember, I ordered this MS figure at 11/11/11 discount last year!
So this delay is about three months meanwhiling.
He replied today that The Man recasted this miniature! Believe it or not . . .

PS they are still waiting for those recasts . . . anyway: my money is gone- for three months meanwhiling . . .


Maybe the magic was the most powerful force in the world. But that was long ago.

Re: THE TAPROOM 2

Anyway. What do you folks think about this "Junast" ?

I am a bit confused. Thought he was a kind of a nobleman. But it looks very interesting. And we have a NEW stab design! Great!

Re: THE TAPROOM 2

Huoommmm ... first there seems to be no plans or ideas in that company about "who is doing what" and "where the hell is this Chr-Theoden-figure gone" ... hoommm ... in case you already spent money on that hassle, of which you're not responsible, I would rather say that one really can be slightly annoyed with such a mess ... rhuoommm ... yes, indeed ...
Huoomm ... second, as always, I will not comment on a figure presented in a half-thumbnail-size ... huom ... the only thing I can clearly define is a vertical staff being held by some figure with some kind of sword ... rhuom ...
rhuooommmhûom ... third ....  huom ... merchandising a new product in some at least half-way acceptable way always was beyond the skills of that company, as we know for decades ... huom ...

Well - I am in the same case, this is a very annoying situation... As you said, 3 months is too much.

Re: THE TAPROOM 2

rhuoommm ... as I don't want to be regarded as being too much critical about Mithril-matters ... huom ... I would like to add here, that I very much enjoy the way of how the figures of the HD2 were sculpted ... rhuoommm ... that's brilliant ... the different parts of each figure, being assembled to it, is poor joy ... rhuoommm ... they make them so much spaceseizing sculptures (!!!), not those flat ones ... rhuom ... a most brilliant bunch of Celts ... rhuommm ... I will not get back on commenting on the stunning shield-designs again ... huoomm ....

ohoho! the pictufre is small, but the staff is quite something! good base and pose, too. he is haradan, so i suppose their nobles look different than westerling nobles.

Re: THE TAPROOM 2

I must admit I like the "pose" of Junast but I don't like this strictly vertical shepherd crook....  there is something odd in such "geometrical" verticality... almost not natural... too "straight"...

Anyway... another nice figure smile

Re: THE TAPROOM 2

Huuooommmm ... Master Cameosis I also like the base very much ... huommm ... the one where one leg is bent because of resting on higher ground, some stones or rocks ... rhuom ... there are not many of those bases in the whole Mithril-range ... hom ... in all the old M-series there were just two figures, M274(Anarion) and M320(Elf girl) ... rhuoommm? ... HOM ... then there was some kind of inflation of that kind of base in the LR-series ... huommm ... LR7(isildur) LR8(Cirdan) LR10(Gil-galad) LR11(Witch-King) LR13(Adunaphael) LR39(Elrohir) ... rhuuûomm ... before there was the Christmas-figure in 1995(King Arthur) ... huom ... also the first Mx had a similar base, MX421(Fram) ... rhuommmm ... now with this Junast it's the second time that such a base is used after "my" MS555(Hirluin) ... huomm ... not counting LR37(Elrond) as his right leg is placed on stairs, not on rocks, you know ... rhuoommm ...

Re: THE TAPROOM 2

hooomm ... though ... er, ... what puzzles me a bit is how to get together this Junast (as far as the figure is recognizable in a poor picture) and his guard ... rhuoomm ... M79(Junast's guard) that is ... huoomm ... the outward appearance seems to be extremely different ... rhuomm ... with this Junast The Man obviously keeps very close to the MERP-description, which is very fine indeed ... huoomm ... but how to match those two figures? ... rhuoommm ... I better wait until I have that Junast-figure in my hands, maybe it'll tell me in private ... rhuoommmm hom ...

Re: THE TAPROOM 2

Absolutely right saying, Master Theo!
That´s the point I wanted to say. I see these figures WON´T fit together. And that´s a kind of odd. A missing chance.
So far I suppose my "warlord" concept will have a spare place . . .

Re: THE TAPROOM 2

well, they're called "junast's guard" for a reason -- he probably forgot to put on his armor and now they have to look after him!

Re: THE TAPROOM 2

Huooommmm ... that makes very much sense, Master Cameosis, very much sense indeed ... rhuoommm ... and as for you, Master Turambar, you have so many concepts awaiting to be finished ... huoom ... so, why worry? ... hoommm ... so far there are only ideas and some concepts ... hoouûm ... just a lack of ideas ... huomm ... which never has been a problem at all .... huom ...

Re: THE TAPROOM 2

Today, I feel sad...

For the first time since I took the MMP in charge, I received a voluntary request of "erase account+ all posts" from one of our members sad I don't know the reasons but everybody is free to have such desire and depart for personal reasons indeed...
Actually all pictures had already been deleted by the user for quite some time it seems... Now the 93 posts that were related to this user are now totally erased as if he had never posted ... (at his request) I'll also erase manually his collection from the database...

Farewell Quendil sad  We'll miss you

Re: THE TAPROOM 2

What a strange thing to do! It's particularly strange that he gave no reason. Very odd. But as you say, Master Gildor, all one can do is say farewell.

Re: THE TAPROOM 2

well he did not say farewell to me either... it was cold "remove my account and all posts , thank you"  Gildor : "are you sure? Why?"  Quendil : "yes I am sure, thanks"    end of line...

mystery....   well, life goes on hmm

Re: THE TAPROOM 2

No so mistery after have read some two-days-ago-posts  deleted later... I think  this, IMHO, was a non-proportional reaction to a misunderstanding on some posts regarding an ebay item... But well, life goes on, as you said. It a pity that we have lost Quendil for anything that, if you read carefully, it wasn´t absolutely a problem.

Good heavens, you mean the tree is yet another four seasons older? Well done Master Tree, and may there be many more happy years to follow! If you wait a minute, I'll fill your bowl with something better than water to celebrate....

Happy Birthday, master Tree! Finally, are you more elder than Master Tom Bombadil? Many people think otherwise ..... rollwink
