The Pendraken Fantasy range is amazing and pretty extensive, with fifteen or so races/factions. Each range has been given a decent variety of troops, but for a Lord of the Rings fan, a selective list of 'usable' factions soon narrows the field a little (there is of course repurposing some 10mm historical ranges to help).
I appreciate that Fantasy customers are fewer than the Historical market, and the Tolkien fans, just one segment of those, but I would ask that consideration for any new Fantasy releases have the Tolkien fans in mind too please, thank you!
By the way, in my humble opinion, there is a clear gap in the 10mm market for Not-Wraiths on foot and horse and Not-Swan Knights of Dol Amroth on foot (Teutonic Knights with winged helmets on foot).
Not saying you are wrong in wanting this from Pendraken, Fingolfin, but IP issues and the fact that Mark Copplestone already has a 10mm range that includes orcs, half-orcs, trolls, giants, wargs, wraiths on horse and winged beast, horselords, men of the city, rangers and the nine walkers I can understand the desire to create a more generic fantasy range that might appeal to those who came to fantasy through D&D or the likes of The Elder Scrolls rather than Middle Earth.
Eaglemoss did some stonking Mûmakil that were just the right size for 10mm (IMHO) but were uncrewed. I wish I'd bought a couple more.
Sorry,Copplestone doesn't do 9 walkers,there's about 11 if you total them up

The Nine Walkers are indeed covered by the Copplestone set though you are right they are not the only foot figures.
Ahem...
