Two New LOTR Mithril releases: Gandalf & Gwaihir, Bolg's Standard Bearer

Mithril has released two new 32mm scale metal miniatures in May. These 2 releases were winning ideas from October and November 2009.

MS552 Bolg's Standard Bearer is based on the Battle of Five Armies from The Hobbit. Bolg was the chief of the Goblins (orcs) that attacked the Dwarven, Elven and Men of Dale forces. Wargs (intelligent Wolves) were the Goblins allies. These made up the 5 armies involved.
Bolg was accompanied with a Bodyguard unit of troops, including a standard bearer.
Beorn, the skinchanger, eventually slew Bolg and his bodyguards during the conflict, in revenge for their attack on Thorin.


MS553 'Gandalf and Gwaihir', is from The Lord of the Rings books, when Gandalf was imprisoned on the Tower of Orthanc. Gwaihir, the Great Eagle, rescued him and carried him to safety.
Interesting Note: While most illustrations show Gandalf on the Eagles back, sculpting it successfully in that pose was not seen as a workable solution. A 2D illustration can hide a lot of detail in feathers, including how you ACTUALLY ride an Eagle.
Since Mithril had released these Eagles previously in different poses, they could not suddenly have a gigantic version the size of a full Dragon like Smaug (also unrealistic for an Eagle). So it was impossible for Gandalf to SIT on Gwaihir's back and look even remotely feasible. Nor can Gandalf hang-glide on the back of the Eagle, or hang from his claws (it would look awful).
So this shows Gandalf after being rescued and thanking Gwaihir.

LOTR Christmas 2009 back on track, Broggha approved by Tolkien Enterprises.

Every year Mithril Miniatures makes a special Christmas celebration figure and this year is we have released Broggha, Hillmen Chieftain. This 32mm scale miniature is on a larger base than our regular releases, as seen in the photo and its name is on the bottom of the base.

Broggha was a strong, cunning leader of the Hillmen, and gained power through brutal means. He is shown here holding aloft the severed head of one of his foes, gloating over his victory.
Tolkien Enterprises have approved this release this week, so we have made it available to our Fellowship members again.
Shipping begins early next week. Unfortunately some of our international customers may not receive it in time for the 25th due to the final shipping dates to some destinations.

Lord of the Rings Christmas 2009 miniature awaiting approval

Our Christmas figure is temporarily taken off our website as Mithril was a bit impulsive and posted it before we had given enough time to have cleared it with Tolkien Enterprise. We will have an update on December 14th about the release date on the figure.
Any customers who have ordered it already will be notified of the delay.
