New LotR Miniatures, Tom the Troll and Boromir.

Mithril is proud to annouce the addition of two more Lord of the rings miniatures to our Gold Status Fellowship range (MS). These 32mm scale metal figures were chosen by members of the Fellowship club last year.
If you are interested in joining this club please visit http://www.mithril.ie/Fellowship/index.html

'Boromir Blowing the great horn of Gondor' (MS506) shows Boromir shortly before his death as he sought aid to repel the host of Isengard Orcs that were sent to kidnap any hobbits they could find. Saruman wanted the One Ring but did not trust his servants with that knowledge. Boromir tried to protect Merry and Pippin but was overwhelmed. His other companions, Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli, were away searching the forest for Frodo at that time and arrived to late to prevent the tragedy from occuring.

Tom the troll (MS507) was one of the three trolls that Bilbo and his dwarven companions encountered during their travels in The Hobbit. These trolls acted as bandits and ate travellers or raided local farms for livestock. The trolls captured the dwarves but Gandalf managed to trick the trolls into arguing between themselves about how to eat them long enough for the sunrise to turn them to stone.

Lord of the Rings Mithril Christmas Figure 2008 - 'Sharkey Flees North'

Lord of the Rings Mithril Christmas Figure 2008 - 'Sharkey Flees North'
This is a 32mm scale metal miniature, which is Antique Finished.

STORY: After the destruction of his power, the wizard Saruman, with a few of his trusted agents, fled the wreck of Isengard to avoid capture and traveled northwards, presumably through Dunland, where he would still have some support. eventually he arrived in the Shire where he was to establish a new power base. He was known from this time, especially in the Shire, as Sharkey, which in origin was probably derived from the Orcish SHARKU meaning old man.

20 Year Anniversary Lord of the Rings miniature released next week.

Mithril Miniatures is proud that we have been manufacturing Lord of the Rings metal figures for 20 years, since 1988. Our sculptor, Chris Tubb is responsible for all the miniatures we have produced.
This is M500 Gandalf on the bridge of Khazad-dum in the Mines of Moria. Gandalf's pose is challenging the mighty Balrog (Demon) that inhabited the mines to give time for his party members (Aragorn, Frodo, Sam, etc) to escape. Mithril Miniatures made the Balrog of Moria (MB300) many years ago and this finally makes a great addition to our collection.

This figure is made in pewter and is primed with Mithril's special paint (grey) so it is ready to paint. The scale is 32mm.

We will be adding to our website next week (17th of November 2008) so this is your opportunity to acquire a piece of miniature history. There will be a limited stock of 250 produced.

New Prince August Factory mini-website

While Prince August has been in Cork for over 30 years, we have only had a visitor centre for about 12 of those years, and every year thousands of faithful tourists make their way to our little village of Kilnamartra ('Cill Na Martra' in irish) in County Cork in Ireland and visit our factory.

We have opened up a shop and miniature gallery and give every tourist the opportunity to see a free casting demonstration, which takes about 5 minutes. This is universally enjoyed as it is very unique and a lot of fun.

I have, on occassion, even allowed some interested customers to cast, under supervision, some miniatures themselves.

To further this experience I designed a new website, linked from Prince August's main homepage, or accessed via www.toysoldierfactory.ie domain to supply any tourists all the information they might need when deciding to visit our Factory.

If anyone has any comments on the site, please contact me using the princeaugust contact emails. The Factory Visitor Centre is open 9 to 5 weekdays and additional times during June, July and August months.

Prince August Upcoming Warzone Mutant Chronicles releases.

Prince August has stated previously that they bought a huge stock of miniatures, some in blister packs and boxes and many loose in boxes in July '05.

We have listed the Warzone Mutant Chronicles figures on our mini-site called www.warzone-chronopia.com and it has proven very popular over the last 3 years.

Due to this popularity we have engaged in sorting out some of the metal miniatures in these boxes so we can sell them to fill gaps in our collection. Thankfully some were somewhat presorted into small boxes but the process is a difficult one.

So far we have released about 25 sets of figures, and plan more over the coming months. These are however limited stock only as we can only sell miniatures we judge in perfect condition. All the other loose figures will be melted down and used for making Mithril miniatures.

The next release of 10 more sets of figures from the Warzone Mutant Chronicles universe will be at the end of August. They should include some Tiger Dragons, Northern Sons, Brotherhood Arch primates, Cybertronic Mirrormen, Dark Legion Children of Ilian and Bauhaus Dragoons (wolfhead versions) as well as some others.
