Entirely New LOTR Collectible Format?

[carbo-fation]

I honestly hope that the new format is not bobble heads. Dioramas would be best new line yet, except I wouldn't know where to put them if they are as big as Marvel dios.

I don't know why I bother to read the newsletter. I totally missed that announcement. You think I would learn to be more observant by now?

This news is both exciting and sad. It was easy when there was only Sideshow Weta to deal with. Now there's so many lines I'm going to have to try and be disciplined and not order everything. At least I got off on the right foot and have still resisted the Legendary Bust line.

You say that now. Just wait until you see the Balrog.

 

[FlyAndFight]

You know, if it IS a bobblehead line, at least we could get the entire Fellowship in their matching classic costumes without waiting too long or spending too much money:

But we'll STILL get Pippin in Gondorian armor instead...

 

[carbo-fation]

You say that now. Just wait until you see the Balrog.

That's probably the only piece I am going to order from this line.

 

[CAhobbit]

Word is.....and don't tell anyone I told you this......is that it's going to be more 1/6 scale polystone statues......but based on the EA computer games 'The Battle For Middle Earth'.

Sideshow are said to be big fans, and if they do do this, I will be elated. We could have:

Eomer on steed
Mouth of Sauron on steed
Faramir
Treebeard
Fountain Guard
Glorfindel
Gloin
King Dain
Arwen on steed
TOM BOMBADIL!!!

Basically, any character you could want except Elendil, Isildur, Gil Galad and Denethor, who do not appear in any of the three games.

*cough*announced at Comic-Con 2006*cough*

I'll be interested to see what the EA game line will bring to the LOTR collectable table.

It's NOT a continuation of the 1/6 statue line. Don't know where that rumor got started. It's a whole new format for LOTR says the article.

 

[Darth Caedus]

Dioramas would be interesting...weathertop would be great and my fav of the line (if it is dios...). My only beef is that this, like people said before, might slow down the 1/6th line.

 

[The Josh]

I think they got several of the 1/6th ready to go and this line might be only a piece here and there type thing.

 

[Sachiel]

But we'll STILL get Pippin in Gondorian armor instead...

Merry in Rohan Armor.

 

[The ill Jedi]

I'm guessing dioramas.

Dioramas would be awesome:

Aragorn Vs. Lurtz

Gandalf Vs. Balrog

Eowyn Vs. Witchking

these would rock!

 

[The ill Jedi]

LOTR Bust-O-Ramas! Or "leg-o-less" dioramas. Sorry that was bad....

That was bloody awful...

 

[The ill Jedi]

Gandalf vs Balrog anybody? :chew

HELL YES!!!

 

[The Josh]

HELL YES!!!

There ya go!! Somebody smells what I'm cookin.

 

[Darth Caedus]

Don't know what it is, but I would much rather have Aragorn vs Nazgul on weathertop than gandalf vs balrog....

 

[The Dwimmerlaik]

I wish they are not more bobble heads thats not an original idea, since they already exist to different trademarks that produce LOTR bobble heads, lets see what they make.

 

[Darth Caedus]

how about road signs with different characters on them? Like gandalf here..

 

[Doomhammer]

I'm not supposed to reveal this, but if I can't thrust you guys, who can I.
Last night a turkey jumped out of my sandwich and sang to me about the upcoming 1/3 scale LotR Thanksgiving Parade balloons line.

Seriously why are we even bothering? You just féél it's gonna be bobbleheads again.

 

[hairlesswookiee]

Something else to slow the 12" line. Bah hum-bug.

which is why i cancelled all my pre-orders. sorry, but at this rate i'll be 40 before they get the fellowship completed. im gonna stick with the PF and select 12" figures from LOTR. after aragon my faith in the 12" dropped a little...i will probably pick up the fellowship later but only after they complete it.

 

[Fritz]

You say that now. Just wait until you see the Balrog.

Haven't we already seen it?
