No. Not the military. :) It just wasn't for me.
I'll be serving a mission in Russia for my church.

Does anyone here hope the new mini's won't cost as much as the LOTR ones? Maybe to have little kids spend their (parent's) money on this hobby too?

I guess that's wishful thinking... :P

Teaching about our gospel and what we believe in to those who will listen.
And more than likely taking thousands of pictures! :-D :D

That would be nice. Without the aid of my parents (and their money of course :-D ), I wouldn't have been able to start this hobby for many years.

They're more likely to increase the prise even further, though the last increase wasnt that long ago. :roll:

The detail on that is pretty good, I hope that that's one of the actual minis and not a fake somehow. However, his leg sticking straight out in front like that looks wierd.

Looks like the plastic models in Dark Vengeance. The kind that snaps together with no glue needed. (Though some do anyway)
Where did you find the pictures?

From translating that site, do we think there may be a limited edition Hobbit boxed set with Radagast in it?

This is interesting! Can't say I'm too fond of his design, but maybe it's better when painted.
Very interesting that he's in plastic. Maybe the releases list with all those plastic heroes was right after all, haha!
This could be very nice for converters by the way! Finally it will be easier to convert them (no more hacking up High Elves and turning their arms into awkward positions). Looking forward to the rest!

I'm wondering how much he will cost though.. :o

@Farmer Maggot: from the translation I see, it seems like the model was in a WHFB box.. I could be wrong though, it's hard to make out because the translation doesn't make any sense. Also, my Russian isn't what it never used to be.

After reading the translation im quite sure its real. There can be no doubt it is radagast (hedgehog in his hand).

If this is a fake, its a damn good one. Why would you post a fake that needs that much work in such a forum?

I have many doubts as to wether this is real. *stratches chin*

perhaps it is simply non-GW?

I for one am hoping its real. It would mean GW is moving to specialized and varied plastic molds. I would love this. I still am a bigger fan of metal, but that is clearly gone. This has it all over finecast. ::fingers crossed::

It cost so much to produce a plastic model I don't see how it could be fake!
I am not a fan of plastic but this gives me hope that there will be less fail cast to worry about.

Interesting. Hopefully it won't be long before some more minis start making appearances.

Can't really comment on the details until a proper picture but wow GW has taken a totally new step here. Plastic heroes with a base attached to the sprue? Never done this before (except for the plastic fellowship in Mines of Moria)
