Don't you see tat and think "ASTERIX!"? The sad thing is, it's a Gondorian soldier. What was PJ's costume department thinking?

Lalaith · 02-09-2003, 02:40 PM

Heavens...where did you find that?

Reyna Evergreen · 02-09-2003, 02:41 PM

It is Asterix!What on Arda were they thinking when they designed that???

LePetitChoux · 02-09-2003, 02:54 PM

I found it on the 2nd funny pics thread.

Morai · 02-09-2003, 03:44 PM

Hmm, reminds me of costume design on Broadway Theater. Or maybe a goofy costume from the days of black and white movies.

AHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT BURNS!!!!!!!!! But seriously, it looks like he's got horns or something! like that!

I guess they were smoking bad weed when they designed that. Asterix was at least cool. This guy looks like some sort of "inside joke" on Disney's Dumbo.

Anyone think that might be one of the "Swan Knights of Dol Amroth"?

Gorwingel · 02-09-2003, 09:36 PM

The picture is not coming up for me, could you offer a link please, because I want to see what you are all talking about.

Poor old Asterix...getting on in years now...discovering too late the adverse long-term effects of excessive magic potion consumption.That picture is pretty alarming, PetitChoux . Yes, I have to believe someone was asleep at the camera when that guy was filmed.

Here is the pic from a different source: "Red Bull gives you wingssss...." do I smell a new sponsor??

Ive done a couple of my own designs for helms. And im afraid to say that this one is a pathetic attempt at one...

Balin999 · 02-10-2003, 06:41 AM

What the .... is that? Wow, I though John Howe was responsible for plates and that stuff. He would never have accepted such a ...., well, helmet. HAHAHAHA!
