Lord of the Rings Figures

[Mainland05]

Found Trilogy Figures at Wal-Mart: They had, lots of Aragorn (Helm's Deep), Eomer, Frodo (with Sting), and 2 Witchking Ringwraiths, and 1 - Harad Archer which was in pretty bad shape, and then they had 2 - ROTK Legolas, but i was upset cause i could not get one, because money is pretty tight right now.

There's a variation supposedly floating around that has a white Evenstar instead of the yellow one, but mine is still yellow.

Sorry to be stupid, but to you mean that the bulb gives off a white light on the variation?

[Ben]

Yeah, it's supposed to be a white LED instead of a yellow one. Since I doubt I'll ever find it, I'm not all that worried about it.

Posted on the green dragon today:

LOTR Aragorn EPIC 18" Figure w/ Motion Activated Sound
The first in a brand new series of figures as Epic as the movies themselves. Aragorn is presented in his ranger outfit with trenchcoat and stands over 18" tall. He is the most detailed and accurate Aragorn ever.
Weapons & Accessories: Quiver, Arrows, Bow, Elven Knife & Sheath Ranger Sword & Sheath with removable Eating Knife, Torch
Articulation (subject to change): Neck, Ball Jointed Shoulders, Forearms, Wrists, Waist, Calves

LOTR Legolas EPIC 18" Figure w/ Motion Activated Sound
Legolas is presented in his classic outfit and stands over 18" tall. He is the most detailed and accurate Legolas ever.
Weapons & Accessories: Quiver, Arrows, Long Bow, 2 Elven Knives & Sheaths, Elven Cloak w/ Broach
Articulation (subject to change): Neck, Ball Jointed Shoulders, Forearms, Wrists, Waist

Motion Activated Sensors trigger the figures to "speak" key phrases from the films."

Since this kind of stuff is right up my alley, I CAN'T WAIT for these to become available.

And they tease a Balrog too.  An 18" Balrog would be more to scale than the TB prototype for sure.  

[Ben]

Man, TB's going overboard with this 18" scale.
 Wooo.
Edit- OK, I'm a twit. These come from NECA, not TB.

Anyway, I found the second series of rotocasts at TRU today. The Ringwraith is oodles of cool, but Gimli's a little on the weak side. Since I didn't bother picking up Aragorn or Legolas, I probably won't spring for these either.

Of course, I say that, and in two months I'll own every one of them.

I'm loving every bit of this line, almost more than I loved the movie, when is the next set of figgies coming out again?

[Mainland05]

Did you hear, about the Balrog Damaged Gandalf?

[Ben]

Found a Gandalf the Grey at TRU today. I'd have picked it up if it had the resculpted head. Alas, it did not, so I left it. They also had Gollums and Smeagols, and I'm now officially sick and tired of seeing them.

[Ben]

Dig the multipack images here. I kind of feel like an ass paying $20 for my Twilight Frodo now.

I'm glad they're offering TW Frodo in this set for those folks like my cousins who never got him, and I'm okay with the $20 I spent on mine since I like it for my minor carded collection, and this I'll open.

I also closed a deal for a loose Easterling for only $10 over at LOTRGuide.com.  This is for my cousin who as recently as yesterday was prepared to bid $40 for one on Ebay.  Now if I can just find myself a BK Uruk... sigh.

[Ben]

Found Gandalf the Whiter at Wal-Mart tonight, but both specimens had weird speck of black paint on the nose. So, I left them both. There's still an Arwen on top of the display if you need one, Spuffy.

I'm digging the price WM has on these. A $5 Crossbow Uruk-Hai is better than a $7 one.

Hey Everyone, got great news for all you who have not found some of the very, very rare Trilogy figures, Toysrus.com, has all the LOTR Trilogy figures in-stock, except the following : PEW, Eowyn, Saruman, and King Theoden.  All the scalpers ate up the Elven Warriors, and they never had Eowyn, or Saruman or the deceased King.

But they do have : Arwen, Elrond, Bilbo, Galadriel, Harad Archer, Pippin, King Aragorn, Frodo, Frodo (with Sting), Legolas, Legolas (Helm's Deep), Gandalf The Grey, Gandlaf The White, and i think that is it.  But i dont know if they will last so you might want to get your ass right over there and order those suckers. Remember you have to type in the character in the search box!!

[Darby]

Thanks, HMI.  

Feets don't fail me now!

Toy Wiz has the Twilight Frodo in-stock!
