What's behind the green door?
A lot of stuff
. You hoping they throw in something similar to Yoda's Hut? 
Well, I'm hoping its NOT like the movie Behind the Green Door.
Live Tyler, Kate Blanchett, and Miranda Otto? Pssshhh count me in!

I had to Google this to understand your reference, holy hell what was Bilbo thinking?

I'm personally hoping for the Bag End Door. Very doubtful it's the wagon. There's no way the wagon would be included at $350.

Its all very exciting, bring on sdcc.
Not sure what it means but on FB Asmus said they will have quite a few things before SDCC.

The thing is that people will always say it makes the eyes too recessed, but when 1/12 scale figs have them now, I think it's totally feasible to hide it in 1/6.
I have absolutely no use for the wagon, as I imagine many others don't. The Bag End door is a wonderful addition for a good portion of their Middle Earth figures, and thus not only versatile but more desirable.
I may be in the minority but I want that dang wagon loaded with fireworks!

Agreed [emoji817] no use for the wagon. Would take up far too much space and then you'd have to get a horse to go with it....and....nah.

A Moria Balrog broken bridge would be another good possibility.
Honestly, I'd rather have them focus more on the actual figure quality For this one.

These would be cool, but the website lists a “Hobbiton” diorama. I hope it’s the Bag End door. It will go nicely with my Frodo and Sam.[emoji846]

we did a mock up of Bag End door,
Unfortunately it is way too big to consider as a base....

Dont want $100 diorama and $250 figure. I want $350 worth high-end figure.

This. I'd rather have a second, smiling sculpt than a diorama anyday.

Isn't that what the original release came with?

Yo Asmus,
This will likely be my 1st Asmus figure. I have over 50 Hot Toys pieces. The price on this is making me choke (as others). That being said I am super impressed with the the sculpt. I am waiting to see the Hobbiton Diorama before I order. It is that little bit extra that I NEED to justify the price and push me over the edge.
I find it very refreshing that you are willing to speak with your customers. As much as Hot Toys gets right, they are definitely getting this part wrong.
The door would have moved me but my vote would be for a prop or base that would be logically expanded with your next high end release.
I understand you must have your reasons for withholding the Diorama details but I think you may find many that like me are waiting for this final piece to be revealed. Can you at least give us an idea of when it will be brought to light?
As good as your first round of orders looked I think you will be surprised at the the second round...
