Here we go again: NEXT LOTR 12" FIGURE?

[Wor-Gar]

The whole Fellowship is a MUST! It'd be great if they unveiled the new Hobbit/Dwarf body style at SDCC but I'm not getting my hopes up.

I'm thinking this might be the case.

 

[Seaward]

It seems like Sideshow is slowly working their way into both LOTR and SW lines, given the predominance of human characters. I think it is time they should us some of the evil characters in Middle Earth, and the Nazgul looks deceptively simple without armor, but should be cool and complex with all the fabric

 

[ichabod]

I'm going with Saruman as one can never have too many Christopher Lee figures. Besides he's a (sorely needed) villain; he's "splashy" enough for Comic Con premiere goodness; and, while most everyone else is going with ole whisker puss, Gandalf, SS does seem to enjoy holding out on releasing favorites from time to time (the conspicuous absence of Giles in the Buffy line comes immediately to mind).

Ultimately, my vote is just for "more".

 

[Captain Faramir]

I voted for Faramir, not necessarily because I think he's next, but because...because... ...well, I just want him, OK?!?!? He's the coolest character, MAKE FARAMIR SSC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Entropy]

I think followed by then it's wide open.

I really hope Saruman comes with a Palantir stand maybe as an expansion set ala the probe droids with the exclusive having the flaming eye palantir as well as the regular marbled one.

I'm not sure how much I'd want a Ringwraith to have only armored hands and feet. Don't half ass it Sideshow. There's no reason you can't gimme a fully armored Witch-king and crew.

 

[carbo-fation]

I voted for Gandalf! They have to complete the fellowship first!

 

[JohnyBoo]

Probably Gandalf but I am sooooo wishing for Faramir.

 

[fishyahoo]

Wondering what would be good display backdrops / environments / dioramas for the Fellowship? Some ideas: Rivendell Council of Elrond, entrance to Moria, Balin's Tomb, Bridge of Khazadum...

For battle scenes, need an assortment of bad guys: Ringwraith, Uruk-hai, orcs, etc.

 

[Captain Faramir]

ooo, I would LOVE the Rivendell Bridge--but that would be one huge accessory!

By the way, did I mention the fact that WE NEED FARAMIR??? Oh OK, just checking...

 

[KAOSINLA]

My vote goes to Saruman...need a bad guy.

 

[Customikey]

How about Witchking with removable Angmar armor and Morgul blade?

Or Saruman with Staff, Palantir, Book showing the Balrog painting, and Palantir base.

I'd go for a Rivendell Elrond with Council seat and stern expression.

It might be time for a woman (and not just because it's my birthday (7/4/79)

Hell, at this point, if they offered Butterbur with mugs of ale and a confused look, I'd order up. He'd go great with the excl. Strider!

 

[Captain Faramir]

Faramir, then Gandalf, then Gimli. That's what I want.

 

[amonhen]

Gimli. Some dwarfs required at this stage.

 

[Fritz]

I vote for Skully the skull hat orc from Return of the King. Even Non-Lord of the Rings fans would buy that.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Yeah, I want that guy. What's his real name?

 

[B-Electronic]

Yeah, I want that guy. What's his real name?

It's Francis. But make sure the other Orcs dont hear it or they'll pick on him

 

[Wor-Gar]

It's Francis. But make sure the other Orcs dont hear it or they'll pick on him

FRANCIS! FRANCIS! FRANCIS!

 

[Captain Faramir]

While I would totally love a Gandalf figure, I wonder if they will be pumping out so many fellowship figures right off the bat. I would still prefer Faramir next in his ranger garb--we'd get some more variety from the fellowship as well as a great character. Boromir needs his brother!

 

[TOE]

i'd say enough of the good guys, bring on the creatures and villainous characters. IMO, if it will be a good guy - Frodo. If bad guy - Witchking

I'd be surprised if we get a new body any time soon. I'd love to see Gimli to go with Legolas but that seems a while off right now.
