Hey guys, I need your help!

I just found this Isengard bunch on ebay: http://www.ebay.de/itm/Lord-of-the-Ring ... 258186d655

Is the second mini from the right really the rare Lurtz? Or is it the Amon Hen version? Or even a simple Uruk archer?

Help is appreciated as I dont want to bid only for minis, that I already have.. ^^

It does look the part, as far as I can see the bow arm is outstretched which would be the rare lurtz

Yep, that's most definitely the rare Lurtz. ;)
All metal Uruk-hai Scout archers that are shooting their bow, have a helmet.

I'd be 99% sure it's the sexy rare Lurtz. His right arm is up by his face and on the Amon Hen version it's down on his quiver.

Might have been a mistake drawing it to the attention of a forum full of collectors though :o Quick, delete the thread! :E

Dr. Grant! I hope it was not a mistake! ^^ I believe in the honesty and fairness of the members of this great community here, to let me have that chance.. but then again, there always is a spark of greed isn't there my preciousssss? :twisted:
Though, the seller only delivers within Germany, so my chances might not shrink too drastically if I post this in an UK-based forum. (Although I know I am not the only German around here ;) )

Seeing that I now realise: I actually owned a rare Lurtz once.
I also realise that I destroyed one by converting it into a Mordor Uruk.

Finally, I realise I am sad because of the above realisation.

Ouch... that's sad indeed. :shock:
Was it a good conversion at least? Maybe you have a photo?

It seems a certain 'Rognarr' got his hands on this Lurtz and consider himself a lucky one-ringer now?! :D

'twas a terrible conversion, and a paintjob to match. No photos (fortunately). I wasn't exactly experienced in the hobby back then.
