Common questions about the BALROG (flaming version) from Asmus.
The answers below are provided by contributors and may not be fully accurate. Verify important details before relying on them.
The BALROG (flaming version) is not considered rare, as it was part of the standard Asmus production run for the Lord of the Rings line. These figures were widely distributed and remain readily available on the secondary market. Collectors can typically find them at common price points without significant scarcity.
The BALROG (flaming version) originally retailed for $150.00. Live secondary-market data isn't indexed yet — check eBay sold listings for current value.
The provided manufacturer and SKU do not correspond to any known collectible line, as Asmus is not a recognized producer of Balrog figures. Reliable authentication information is unavailable because the item details appear to be incorrect or refer to an obscure, unverified product.
The specific release date for the Asmus BALROG (flaming version) with SKU BLG01A is not available in standard collectibles databases. Asmus did not publish a centralized release calendar for this specific variant, and production dates vary by retailer.
The BALROG (flaming version) by Asmus is out of print and no longer available to buy new from the manufacturer. Asmus has ceased production of this specific item, so buyers must seek used copies from secondary markets or private sellers.
Asmus did not produce an official "flaming version" of the Balrog figure, so this item likely refers to a custom paint job, a specific retailer variant, or a misidentified product. Standard grading for Asmus figures focuses on checking for paint transfers, loose joints, and box condition, as third-party grading services rarely accept custom or non-standard variants. If the item is a factory-issued variant, verify its existence through Asmus release notes or official catalogs before attempting to grade it.
