I have thought, that we need someone really, really important, and really really loved character as miniature. No, I am not speaking about furryfooted Fredegar Bolger, or farmer Giles of Ham, i am speaking about John, John Ronald Reul Tolkien. We need miniature that depicts Tolkien! I Want Tolkien to my Mithril-collection! This is my wish, my own, my love, my preciouss...

All those old o.o.p mithril figures in the case were wonderful - it's a real shame you don't release a limited re-run of some of the figures as I'm sure there is a market out there.

I've been always interested in wargaming, not only historical but also fictional; my personal desire would be to reproduce famous Middle Earth battles with the proper miniatures. The most practical and usual scale for wargaming miniatures is 15mm. Have you ever considered the possibility to produce 15mm Middle Earth Armies for the War of the Ring, or even for the Last Alliance period? Recently I've been searching around for Middle Earth or related figures in that scale, and I must say that there are very few (and poor) offerings on such matter. That makes me think that a 15mm range from Mithril could easily impact on the market, attracting costumers interested en Middle Earth wargaming.

I have asked for Mithril Handbook update pages, and I have some ideas, that I hope you consider.
Are there pages to fill that gap in Mithril Handbook1, ie. Pages for Personel of 3rd Age, Gorgoroth, Durin's Folk, Ghostwarrior of Dunfaren and Isengard -series?
As told in Tengwar Newsletter there is no Update pages for M1-M82, you didn't even intend to make those, but there was a plan to make new pages to fill that M136-184 gap. But were those pages ever made? I have for long been somewhat annoyed by that gap.
I like my Mithril Hadbook 1 with those suppement pages a lot! :-) It's much better than Handbook 2. MHB2 has no stories about series and figures, and that "Complete Mithril Listing" behind the book is far from _complete_! Hobbits of Shire serie has dropped off and that multilingual layout is not practical. It has at least one error pictures of M314 and M315 has swapped. If you reprint it or make new handbook/catalog correct that error.
So I propose that you make _really_Complete_Mithril_Listing_ (checklist) and publish it in PDF and maybe HTML format at your webpage. In which case there is no printing cost for you!
Your Mithril Classics Handbook is excellent. Didn't find any errors, in it. It was little expensive as a catalog, but those colour pictures of painted miniatures are fine. And I liked The Races of Middle Earth page very much. Only thing that I missed was Mithril Classics (MC) to Mithril (M) converions, but it's in your webpage.
Greetings to fellow collectors from "the Land of Ice and Snow" ! :-)

Did you ever do any miniatures of the stone trolls (Bert, William and Tom) encountered by Bilbo in The Hobbit?
Niko Suominen
I have been Mithril fan even before my first school year, these miniatures have a great amount of positive feelings to me. But may the old memories pass away, and let tongue spit: Long have my dear friend loved the witch-king, but the problem is: He and I dont want him on his wraith form,we dont want him with black cape, we want the witch-king of Angmar when he lived, when his days of evil glory and dominion were on their blossom.

I wish that you made more Noldor and sindarin warriors and personalities from the war against Morgoth, some really nice Noldor and sindarin phalanx that can withstand the orcish onslaught!
Tim Barkemeyer
Your miniatures are simply the best! Please keep on releasing new 32mm-series. Maybe some caracters from the first and second age. I´d like the idea of an international mithril fan-club with an own internet-homepage. It would be great to have a newscorner on your homepage.

I would love to see a large sculpture of Glaurung, the father of dragons, as well as Ancalagon the Black, mightiest of the winged fire-drakes. (can you tell I like to paint dragons?) :-) A sculpture of Ungoliant would be great too. In any case, keep up the great work! I love bringing Tolkien's characters to life through your miniatures.
Mikey O'Donohoe
Please please re-issue some of the older mithril lines as classics. It's a shame that some of these figures can no longer be purchased. I understand the reasoning that they are not as commercially successful as the currrent MC range. Maybe you could have a poll on your website to see what figures people would like added to the Mithril Classics list.

Hill troll of Gorgoroth, with buckler, swinging hammer. Wolfrider archer,launching arrow, upper body clothed, of course. Rohir standard bearer, mounted,arms out, thrusting sword, like in 1997 catalogue. Orc archer loading bow, "Orcs Of Mordor" (MW337) style. These archers are very impressive, cannot be improved on.
