NECA Balrog news

Randy posted this over on the www.lordoftheringsguide.com forums

Re: Balrog
Expect images and a "Making of" Feature on Balrog in next month's issue of Tomart's Action Figure Digest. We will reveal images and hopefully more details by Comic-Con. The Balrog is massive and unbelievably cool - he is also very expensive in his present form. We are working on various methods of manufacturing and engineering to reduce the costs. We want to make Balrog affordable for everyone without comprimising the size, scale and features.

Thanks

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Hope they do find a way to produce it without it being to costly. It's probably the only LORT fig I want.

And thank you 316 for the info.

Cant wait is all Ihave to say [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

I think no matter the price, this is one that I would get.

There are a couple of things that just appeal adn fit into the colletion too well to pass up.

Once is this, the other is the Millinium Falcon for Star Wars.

Balrog is the only LOTR figure I'm getting.

Hopefuly they can get it down into the $60 range without sacrificing the awesome scale and features.

The petroleum prices are really making plastic expensive lately though [img]frown.gif[/img]

CAN'T WAIT to see that big S.O.B. !!! After a few years of enough people complaining (Damon Nee from Toybiz is going to eat so much crow.."People just don't like bad guys" [img]graemlins/sure.gif[/img] ) NECA is going to feed it to him bigtime methinks. [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

that's what a Balrog ought to look like, IMO.

Not sure how long this price will last once the 'official' MSRP is released, so if you're really interested, www.amoktime.com has it up for pre-order at $34.99

Can't get the link to the exact page to work so just type in Balrog in the search box on main page.

I can't wait to see it. however, the price tag will determine if it ends up on my shelf or not.
