Indeed, the prices DO restrict these minis to collectors with some money to spare :-(
I doubt the prices are up there because they WANT them so high.

Flavourfull works nonetheless.

Mithril Miniatures of Prince August Toy Factory writes:

Mithril Miniatures has been officially licensed to produce collectable miniatures based on J.R.R. Tolkien's books, The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings trilogy, for over 20 years.

The Fellowship Club is a collection of Mithril Miniatures customers who want to partake in suggesting new ideas every month from these books that might be produced. These new ideas are put to a vote, and the winning idea is eventually made and supplied as a limited edition of 150 to members. This allows members to have their dream figure manufactured.

This latest release, Halbarad with Unfurled Standard, was the winning idea from December 2012 by the club member Hwolf.

Brief History

Halbarad brought Aragorn a message from Arwen, as well as a standard made by her, which Aragorn asked Halbarad to keep for him for a while.

Halbarad accompanied Aragorn to a chamber high in the Hornburg, where Aragorn looked into the palantir and revealed himself to Sauron. That morning, Aragorn decided to take the Paths of the Dead under the White Mountains, and Halbarad and Grey Company went with him, along with Legolas and Gimli. When they reached the entrance, Halbarad said, "This is an evil door, and my death lies beyond it. I will dare to pass it nonetheless…"

At midnight at the Stone of Erech, Aragorn summoned the Dead to fulfill their oaths and Halbarad unfurled Aragorn's standard, which appeared black with no device in the darkness. The Grey Company and the Army of the Dead passed through the lands of the South to Pelargir, where they captured the fleet of the Corsairs. Aragorn dismissed the Dead, and the Grey Company sailed up the Anduin.

When they arrived at the Pelennor Fields in the midst of the battle, Aragorn's standard was once again unfurled, but now it was seen to bear the emblem of the White Tree of Gondor and the Seven Stars and Crown of Elendil. Halbarad carried the standard onto the battlefield, where he was killed.

This is a 32mm-scale metal miniature, primed with Mithril's primer. It measures 54mm from base to top of standard.
