his is a simple and straight forward listing of
the Eaglemoss Lord of the Rings Collector's Models series. These excellent
metal figures (& 12 page colour booklets) were available to
subscribers of the 180 edition partwork released in the UK and some
other countries over the past few years. All models are handpainted
and most - but not all - are made to 1/29 scale making an average human
figure around 6cm tall.

More general info on the figures
These figures as the name suggests are obviously designed as collectors
pieces and very nice they are too. However a couple of other possibilities do
present themselves. Firstly some of the models have potential for use with the
Games Workshop 28mm Lord of the Rings gaming system. For example many of the
figures can be repainted as statues to enhance the look and feel of you Middle
Earth fortifications and battlefields. Others where the scale is less than the
1:29 for the standard figures can be used as they are such as Sauron
and the Great Beast which is an excellent model and ideal for towing
Grond, Siege Towers and Catapults etc...Some of the Orcs can be used as Giant
Orcs or Trolls and there are indeed also several Troll models themselves.
The other potential use for these models is as skimish
wargames figures. Using a scaled up version of the Games Workshop system
or your own rules these model offer a lot of potential. "Warbands"
you could put togther include the Fellowship of the Ring, Isengard Uruk-Hai,
Elves, Mordor Orcs, Easterlings, Rohan, Gondor, The Nazgul, Army of the Dead,
Moria Goblins, The Last Alliance etc... Some will be easier and cheaper to
assemble than others depending on how rare the figures are and whether you can
use multiples of the same figure but you get the idea. Also many can be
repainted, cannabilised and converted to make customised figures as you please.
