January 2024 - Queen of the dead and Barliman and Nob releases.
Posted by Michael O'Brien on 17th Jan 2024
Two more Fellowship releases were made available in January 2024. The first one is MZ716 Queen of the dead, a wraith that comes from the oathbreakers of Dunharrow. This theme has been expanded over the years to cover quite a broad range of figures and it was inevitable that a queen would eventually be added. This was a February 2023 winning idea. The second release is MZ717 Barliman and Nob, a special tribute release to commemorate the passing of one of our long time collectors who used the same username. Barliman Butterbur was the Prancing Pony Innkeeper in Bree and Nob was a Hobbit servant that worked there. The Inn was where Frodo and his Hobbit friends first were introduced to Strider (a.k.a. Aragorn). Later the Inn was attacked by Nazgul but the party managed to escape. Barliman supplied Bill the Pony to Frodo and Sam to replace their missing ponies, that had escaped during the chaos.
Both releases are 32mm scale and resin figures/vignettes. MZ717 comes in four pieces while MZ716 is complete.
