Next is a blister of two figures, Bilbo and Gollum, sitting next to each other on a single base. As is seen below each figure comes as a single piece with no extra assemble, or modifications, needed or possible. Bilbo is dressed in leathers and has a dagger at his left side while Gollum is wearing just a loincloth. The mold line on Bilbo was so faint that I almost missed it and the one on Gollum was really not much more than that and cleaned up in just a second. Gollum is very thin and has a suitably emaciated look to him while Bilbo’s chubby cheeks are clearly visible. Other than as part of a diorama or as a single display piece this blister has somewhat less usability than the others. This issue we have a continuation in the Lord of the Rings 54mm line from Mithril miniatures. There area five packs of figures presented here starting with Elrond and Isildur above. Each has a retail price of 12.99 Euro (about $14.00 USD, checked during FEB 2003). As you’ve come to expect with the 54mm line of Lord of the Rings figures each comes on a separate textured metal base so all of these figures are perfectly suitable for display or game use. Isildur comes as a three piece model, not including the base, made up of the body, his right arm and his cloak. The mold line was pretty faint but did pass through part of his face so careful cleaning is in order so as to not mar the model. His sword is in a downward position, but this could easily be altered with a pin and a bit of putty. The cape fits perfectly onto the back of the model and has caught the wind and is flowing. He is wearing heavy plate armor with chainmail at the joints and has a scabbard to his left side. Facial detail is simple and effective, but not lacking. Elrond, the Elven lord, comes as a single piece and is in somewhat of a contemplative pose. Facial detail on Elrond is the best part of the model and it does not disappoint at all. His robes hang straight down but have enough folds to where they can be painted with lots of shadow and highlight. The mold line on Elrond was just about unnoticeable. Neither model had any other cleaning issues and there were no defects to be found at all. Two good figures that should paint up very nicely. Not only could you use most, if not all, of the 54mm Lord of the Rings figures in a fantasy version of Inquisitor or a large scale game of Mordheim, but you could even use them in a large scale (figure scale) roleplaying game or Isildur and Eowyn (see below) could be used as half-giant player character models with no problem at all. Eowyn (center-bottom) comes as four pieces, again not counting the base, made up by the bulk of the body, her right sword-arm, her shield and finally a scabbard that will go on her left side. This is a very nice figure with good animation. Her sword-arm could be rotated to a slightly modified position if you like. Eowyn is wearing a long chainmail coat with leathers underneath. In addition to the sword she has a dagger on her belt and a small pouch around her back. Cleanup went pretty quickly and, as with the others, the mold line was somewhere between very faint and Unnoticeable and there were no defects to be found. The Bilbo and Gollum set and Eowyn also have a regular retail price of 12.99 Euro (about $14.00 USD for each blister). Last for this batch is a hefty blister that contains Saruman and Gandalf fighting it out on a set of stairs. Both of these figures are quite tall (even for being 54mm figures) and
Are quite impressive. Each comes as in two pieces (figure and staff) and detail was very good. Both of their robes should come out very nicely when painted and, in my opinion, Saruman is the better of the two models. That is not to say that there’s anything wrong with the Gandalf figure, because there is not. It’s just that the Saruman figure is very, very nice. He might not be tall enough for a giant in Dungeons and Dragons, but I’m sure that I could find a use for him, even alongside standard 28mm figures. The stairs (not pictured) are as heavy, if not heavier, than each of the individual figures and seem a bit superfluous, but I guess they needed something to stand on after all. This set retails for 21.99 Euro (about $23.78 USD) which seems right when compared to the other sets and considering you are getting two of these rather large figures. WWW.MITHRIL.IE
