Due to the limited amount of ideas provided this month I am going to have ONE vote. This will be an open vote. Please remember to add comments supporting your ideas, whether you first suggested them or not.
Chris has provided me with the list of accepted ideas this month today, however one idea is excluded. "Sauron is too big and complex for the single figure month". ~ Chris. |

Now there are two great warriors of Rohan in a row winning our votes and quite a good line of Kings and leaders of Gondor and Arnor before, maybe it may be time for a peaceful litte figure of the lovely shire? I'd like to resuggest Old Toby of the Shire
Tobold Hornblower also known as Old Toby was a Hobbit of the Shire.
Tobold was a well-respected gardener, most notable for his discovery and cultivation of the herb Pipe-weed, circa TA 2670, 1070 by Shire Reckoning. He resided in the Southfarthing village of Longbottom, and there he was immortalized as 'Old Toby'.
The Pipe-weed variety 'Old Toby' was definitely named after him, and possibly 'Longbottom Leaf' as well.
According to Herblore of the Shire, by Meriadoc Brandybuck, it was believed
that Tobold Hornblower learned about Pipe-weed in Bree, as that was the farthest from the Shire
that he traveled and the herb grows on the south slopes of the hill there.
His growing of Pipe-weed led to the herb's popularity throughout the Shire and beyond.
Suggetion is to have Old Toby in typical hobbit attire with large, furry feet of course, standing or sitting and smoking a long Hobbit-pipe with pleasure  And as it is a small figure, a addition of a bench or small table with some small barrels whould be great. One barrel is open and shows the ready for sale or trade Pipe-weed inside. Every Barrel has a big sign on the side for a nice label paint-job. ( or tiny print and glue on  ) Gandalf the Wizard, Bilbo and all Hobbit Heros loved to smoke Pipe-weed and their special fun was to create smoke rings and even Saruman the White or Many-Coloured had connections to the Shire to get the Pipe-weed, because Merry and Pippin found some barrels with Longbottom-Leaf when Isengard was besieged.
Old Toby is a famous Hobbit Character who is still missing in the Mithril range!
And he is mentioned in 'The Lord of the Rings' and 'The Hobbit', there at least his Pipe-Weed in the opening chapter, for Bilbo is smoking his pipe as Gandalf apears

Lothíriel, Princess of Dol Amroth
Lothíriel was a Princess of Dol Amroth as daughter of Prince Imrahil.
Lothíriel was born in TA 2999. She is Boromir and Faramir's cousin.
Lothíriel means "flower garlanded maiden"
In The Return of the King, Lothíriel married Éomer, King of Rohan, in the last year of the Third Age, which was TA 3021.

Frerin, brother of Thorin and Dis. Frerin was the second son of Thráin II, older brother of Dis, younger brother of Thorin Oakenshield, grandson of Thror, and uncle of Fili and Kili. He lived in the Lonely Mountain. Little is known of him except for that he perished at a young age when he joined in the Battle of Azanulbizar in the climactic battle of the War of the Dwarves and Orcs, beneath the East Gate of Khazad-dûm in a wood near the Mirrormere.

I recommend Eothain, A Rider under Éomer’s command
From the Encyclopedia of Arda: A member of Éomer's éored that overran the orcs who had captured Merry and Pippin at the fringe of Fangorn Forest, and later encountered Aragorn and his companions on the wide fields of Rohan. Éothain was not as trusting as his commander, scoffing at the idea that hobbits even existed, and arguing against the gift of horses to the three companions.
Another one that is named in the books and hasn't been produced by Chris yet.

Éothain [is] another one that is named in the books and hasn't been produced by Chris yet. Not only that, he's also another character who has a speaking role. |

I am sorry you feel disillusioned but the massive workload done in the last 4 months will help improve our business, which helps Mithril in the long run. |

Though I understand Chris because he is always reluctant to work on a Sauron character I'd like to say something about Sauron as necromancer.
If we are true to the books (not the movies nor other brands), during the battle of Dol Guldur, Gandalf mistook the necromancer of Dol Guldur for being a Nazgul, and he did not sense/understand it was actually Sauron before he fled.
This means that Sauron, at this stage, could have had the aspect of any ringwraith, both in physical aspect but also in size... as opposed to Sauron during the Last Alliance, or during the forging of the Ring.
Sauron has already been depicted as Anatar vs Celebrimbor in the past, and he was of elf size, not Maia size.
From Chris sculpting canons, I understood that all Maia (except istari) should be at least troll sized if not more (cf Sauron, Balrog, Razarac) but Sauron is a special case because he lacks the power to control his own "fana" (physical shape)... I suppose we may try to resubmit him in a later month, though we already have Sauron three times in three shapes, in the mithril range.

before this topic is closed and the new one is created... I'd like to encourage all of you people to STOP suggesting (more than voting) for the forthcoming months... with the new GoldFellowhip rules we all received it was said that suggestions could be made during more than a month if not enough suggestions were made , even if it means having months without suggestions... Considering the lack of release, production, news about all that's forthcoming and the delay that has been gathered I really think the best solution is to put the suggestion process in standby for a period of time... The difference of income for mithril is absolutly "null" in this case considering there are months ahead of releases to be made already... It would also be fair for people to stop making suggestions for products that MAY be released in 8 months... 1 year... 2 year... considering nobody can be sure the mithril brand will still exist until then... thus having our "dreams" of suggestion made for .. naught So, if you see what I mean and/or share my thoughts... DON'T SUGGEST...Or maybe you should suggest some Napoleonic or British infantry fit for Waterloo. I'm sure your suggestion would be sculpted/cast/produced & released in less than a month altogether  |
