Nice idea, but he would never sit! As Treebeard explains, Ents are "not very bendable" - hence no seats in their houses. Treebeard describes Leaflock as having "taken to standing by himself half-asleep ... with the deep grass of the meadows round his knees". .......... maybe he sometimes sat, when no one is watching him I can not remember that JRRT wrote in which kind variety of trees it belongs, perhaps he was bendable as birch....

Leaflock, one of the Ents of Fangorn Forest sitting and thinking Connection with the LOTR: Finglas, Fladrif, and Fangorn, were the oldest of the Ents of Fangorn Forest still alive in the later Third Age. According to Treebeard, Leaflock had become tired, sometimes sleeping through entire seasons (although formerly he used to rouse up in winter), and tree-like with a covering of leafy hair.

I agree with you Gildor, if this Arwen wins, figure should be sculpted like this one on that picture... but lady luthien4tinuvielle should decide that she looks like this and write idea to CT

I rather like Nino's Arathorn suggestion - I actually like the pose in the sketch which although limited in use for some, makes a nice, poignant portrait that could be any 'Westron' character in the aftermath of battle. I put this picture here, because we do not have such a pose. If by any chance suggestion pass this voting round I will write to Chris and kindly ask him to make such a figure. Anyway, we have enough figures in combat pose, and his tragic fate is ideal for this figure ....

This is only a sketch.... He would have to be dressed as a Ranger... no white tree or stars....

Sorry folks, couldn't make a suggestion this month since I was on holiday, but there seem sufficient promising ideas in this list. Making a decision wasn't easy, but after giving it a a lot of thought I've opted for Thror - for now! which one.... this one with head... or this one without head ;-)

Awesome! - now there are seven great suggestions, super! but no easterlings, I wonder? Nice one Thingol - to let King Thrór be in one piece. I wonder all the time that this important and famous Dwarf is still missing in any form in the mithril range. i hope the Dwarven throne will not be a big problem. Me too. There were many examples in the past, when some "little things" just appeared on the issued figure.... so we'll see...

This Hirluin story is interesting indeed.... one day it could be maded again Master ent... but this time I guess winner will be Duinhir.... what is good for me as this was my suggestion for a few times before.... maybe Master Barliman should next month suggest prince Vidugavia... he is lucky winner always when he suggest something what I was suggest before... (we devided also the suggestion of "Elfhelm the Marshal, ....on horseback" ;-))

Vidugavia (TA 1210 - TA 1302) the mightiest prince of Rhovanion
last time when he was on suggestions list …… houm…. more than 2 years ago... and it always lost in second round for a single vote.... see what would be this fourth time !

I just can confirm what Master Barliman said about the MS555 figure as it was me who once suggested the "Hirluin, Lord of Pinnath Gelin" which then was sculpted by Master Tubb. A very nice figure on an interesting base which reminds of some of the old LR-bases. Ups.... I forgot to MS 555 .. I will change my idea... It's been a long time since I have not found "the way to victory". Now I'll recycled an old suggestion.....

.....And I've just recalled that Master Thingol hinself suggested the self-same Duinhir a couple of years ago - perhaps that's why the name suddenly came into my mind! Duinhir is certainly a notable omission from the range. Anyway, apologies for "stealing" your old idea, Master Thingol. It's not something I usually do. Do not vory about dear Master innkeeper... Duinhir is fine idea....

I'm completely agree with Gildor in this case..... Arwen in hunting is just.... Arwen in hunting. I'm always on side of Tolkien interpretation in CT sculpting... and here is one main question... Arwen in hunting - what or who.... orcs or animals.... did elves serve meat on their meals, maybe yes... or just "green food" fruits, mushrooms and lembas bread... Arwen's hunting buffalo or butterflies net for insects... or in this case this suggestion was inspired with Tauriel character.....
