Well ... the answer is: It is Aragorn, produced by Mithril. - But: The figure is taken from a "Mini-vignette", as David remembered correctly. He also is right in saying that this Aragorn, in the original release by Mithril, is holding Arwen's hands (instead of a sword . The "Mini-vignette" (as there are two characters on a square base) is M 139, called "Aragorn and Arwen" and was released in 1990. - Bill Harvey took just the figure of Aragorn from this and added a sword to its hands. This is where Wendy is right, too. ;D Such a sword has never been in a Mithril mould - and I dare to say that it would never fit into the scabbard of the miniature. Nevertheless Bill Harvey explicitly named his miniatures "Conversions". In my opinion they're excellent and show a great skill in varying positions and context of Mithril miniatures. This also includes to replace or implace additional material (e.g. the sword). As I am a collector myself, I do hope that he has kept some of the original miniatures himself Concerning the MS 299 Zoetrop was absolutely right with 1995 (an absolutely nice vignette, by the way). Well voivalvatti, this is all I could find out for you today

Hi! Question, if somebody could help us... We saw a lovely figure at some fan´s gallerypage. It was called "Aragorn at Pelennor fields". Do you know, if this figure is made by Mithril or is it a modification made by the owner? Hello voivalvatti, I am quite sure I can help you with the question, but I have to see the miniature. So, where did you see it? A Mithril miniature with the title "Aragorn at Pelennor Fields" does not exist. If I had the chance to have a look at the miniature you're referring to I could tell you if an Aragorn miniature by Mithril was used for it. A merry Christmas to everybody reading this!

Hi ddaines, You're right and these were the very last of the castings that were not sold. Chris assured to me that there were just about 30 test castings ever made. That means it is a far fewer and different production than M 16. I'm very glad to have them in my collection now. It will need some time to have them painted because the production of Mithrils is increasing well and I have got a lot of miniatures waiting to be painted. Theobald.

Thanks, David. I really do like people having their eyes open As far as I can judge from the pic that rider is marvellous ... somehow the old M25 reborn and 'horsed' by a rider fitting to the M 51 trumpeter ... very good indeed ....

Yes Peter. I've got one and can give a copy on a diskette - without any photos, of course. If it's that you're interested in, just let me know. :-)
