The Hobbit - Toy Line

[Jesse James]

Seconded.

[CHEWIE]

Found a Kmart in my area that actually had some Hobbit stuff and scored quite a few items on the cheap.  Mostly just goblins for my "army" that I really just let my son play with.

I should have done this...  I am going to go back today and see if there are any left.

thanks for the idea!

and I came home with 6 more Grinnah figures - bringing my total up to 8.  I also grabbed an extra set of Balin/Dwalin and Kili/Fili

I finally found a  store with Hobbit stuff. I got one of everything and some extra goblins. THey didn't have the Goblin King or the Gandalf/Blol 2-pack, of course. I was just gonna get a Warg and Frodo with Gollum and maybe the goblin. Then I did the math and realized I could get everything 3 3/4" scale item for under $30, so if I liked the line I would have almost everything. If I don't, well, I doubt I won't be able to get my money back on it at some point.

Those didn't seem to go to K-Mart...  Don't know why but no reports of them hitting there.  Go figure.

I just saw this update over at TNI, sounds like the next wave of Hobbit stuff is due to hit Oct 15:

thanks for the heads up!!!

Thranduil and Beorn are news to me!  At first I only saw Thranduil was in the Myrkwood pack and I was pissed - but then saw he is available as a single - awesome!

I am definitely down for these:
-Thorin Oakenshield Adventure Pack: Nori, Ori, Dori, Gloin and Thorin
- Bilbo Baggins Burglar Pack: Bifur, Bombur, Bofur, Oin and Exclusive 3.75" Invisible Bilbo

and these as individuals:  Radagast, Thranduil, Azog, Beorn

cant wait to see what else is coming - yes I am expecting more!  One thing they left off the list - Azog and the White Warg

TNI has updated with images of the upcoming Hobbit figures:

They all look really nice, looking forward to getting the rest of the dwarves.  I am a little surprised we're not getting any dwarves in the six inch line this time around, with only Thorin in the last round I'm guessing it is a little unlikely we'd be able to get the entire set by the time the movies are done (if they continue this release pattern).  Happy to have them in 3 3/4" though, and really hope we get some LOTR figures in the future too.
