    Seriously? Another 6" Legolas? Even though he was one of the only 5 figures in that scale for the first film?!

    At least they're completing the 3.75" dwarves.

    I am very excited for these. Sure, they could be better, but overall they are actually good figures. The Bridge Direct has said they sold out of the 6" scale. And another Legolas should be no surprise, he's their Wolverine or Batman.

    Bridge Direct said in Feb. that they wanted to make Smaug in 3 3/4" scale, and would likely use the Toy Biz Fell Beast as a starting point, but they did not have designs from Weta at that time. So I think we can count on a Smaug figure.

    Perhaps they bought a bunch of Fin Fang Foom's and are repainting them?

    The 3.75" line didn't seem to do very well around here, and a good chunk of it is either pegwarming or on clearance. I can't even recall seeing any of the other scales/offerings.

    So I'd be really surprised if these new waves actually show up at retail here. I hope they do, but only for the LOTR collectors in my area. For me, the line is one of many toy lines where I say "oh, that's nice" and keep walking.

    They're probably saving him for the third film's toy line.

    I still can't believe that they're turning The Hobbit into a trilogy of its own. I know it's been a while since I last read the book, but I just don't remember there being enough content for three films (whereas the sequel, The Lord of the Rings, easily had enough for 6 or maybe even 9 films).

    Retail wasn't very cooperative on the Hobbit line. Target passed, Walmart had only the 3.75" in select stores (as an end-of-the-aisle, not-quite-endcap feature), while Kmart had everything, but waited until December to stock a pallet display (what's left is now 75% off). Toys R Us and Amazon were the main supporters, while Books A Million and Hastings had a small selection.

    On the subject of a trilogy, they have added material from the LOTR appendices that was happening at the same time as The Hobbit. Not to mention The Hobbit has a lot going on in such a small book, with big scenes happening "off-screen." Obviously the movies will show, rather than tell. And of course you can expect gratuitous non-Tolkien Jacksonisms.

    Oh, boy.

    Don't get me wrong, though. I loved Jackson's LOTR trilogy and own (and watched) the extended editions of all three films. I just assumed they would stick with the main story for this one (and the focus being on Bilbo and his POV). But I guess it's probably the only way they'll be able to include some of the other events, since I sincerely doubt they'll pull off a film version of The Silmarillion (or any other Tolkien works) any time soon.

    sucks that they choose to alter the source material,the original LOTR movies pissed me off no end,so many great characters left out,the pussifying of gandalf against the witch king,the pointless arwen love story.now they are doing the same with the hobbit,though i really enjoyed the extra scenes with radagast>>>such a wonderful character.

    i reckon the silmarillion would work as a TV series,a season for each story.just look at game of thrones,i dont see why the silmarillion could not work in that format.

    The Bridge Direct has revealed their 2013 SDCC exclusive 6 inch scale Azog figure, complete with the head of Thror!

    Quote:
    We are thrilled to give you the first look at this year’s 2013 San Diego Comic-Con Exclusive Hobbit figure! The 7” tall Orc Commander Azog comes in a numbered, limited edition of 2,600 pieces. Azog is depicted as he appears in the prologue scene from The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. In the battle between the dwarves and an army of orcs to reclaim Moria, Azog holds the severed head of the dwarf King Thror up in victory. The figure comes with interchangeable hands – the right hand that holds Thror’s head can be replaced with a hand capable of holding either his dagger or mace, and the left hand can be switched with the prosthetic spikes that replaced the hand he lost to Thorin’s sword. For those of you attending Comic-Con, we hope you plan to visit The Bridge Direct / Weta Booth #3513B and take home one of these incredible collectibles!

    Out of curiosity, did you watch the theatrical cuts of the LOTR films, or the extended editions?

    As I recall, the Silmarillion did not have nearly enough gratuitous sex and violence to warrant its own series on premium cable. At least not without heavy re-writes using that guy from the SNL skit.

    Tauriel is barely taller than a dwarf. Evangeline Lilly is a petite hottie.

    the last line of that flyer is a little ominous.

    I'm gonna be real sad if we don't get all the 3.75" characters we've seen.
