Dolls & Figures

Dolls & Figures

This is an assortment of the lesser known dolls, statues, and figures from around the world. Some, like the Danbury Mint Galadriel doll and the TOMY busts, are terrific.  Some are real head scratchers, like the Art Asylum and the Britain's figures, and make me wonder.....did they see the same movie as I did?

Brass Bells

Absolutely beautiful detail. I do not know if these are licensed, but think they must be. The molds seem to be unique, and were not cast from another product.

I know a little about orchestral bells, and these have a beautiful tone. These are well cast.

Birchcroft Pottery

Thimble Set

this was an early FOTR product. I have no idea if it's licensed or not, suspect not. No copyright, but it has what is distinctly movie scenery on each one.  

UK

W Britains

This company manufacturers handpainted lead soldiers.

These figures were quite expensive new, and come beautifully boxed.

For some reason, the Heroes in this ranger are just horrible. The modelling and the paint jobs are just noxious. Just look at the Arwen, if you have any doubt.

You'd be much better served in putting your money in the less expensive Eaglemoss range.

But the Villains in this series are very well done. I'd hazard a guess that Eaglemoss based some of their modelling on the Britains villains.

Phial of Galadriel with stand

Nice detail.

Would have been too cool if it would have lit up. I remember when I was a kid, my dad had a lightbulb from the magic store that he could hold in his palm and light up. Would that they would have use the same trickery on this....

Danbury Mint

Galadriel Porcelain doll

I cannot find any information out about this doll. Two or three of them were auctioned on Ebay. No pictures of the box were provided, and no detail as to what they were.

I have emailed Danbury Mint to find out more information, and their rep told me they never sold these dolls, and have no plans to in the future. It may be a prototype.

The facial likeness is really, really good, and the costume is a really good reproduction.

Art Asylum

Probably one of the ugliest LOTR licenses ever done.

So ugly, in fact, it's one of the few LOTR collectibles I've never bothered to complete the set.

Which means, they'll probably be worth a mint someday. Ha!
