Hobbit or Lord of The Rings license?
The internet gets the pitchforks ready first, pre-sharpened and puts them down only when it’s safe. ;DWell it's just a tease. It's even darkened/blacked out in most parts.
There's other "established" company that shows full display of prototype images for people to preorder and delivered nothing like that, not even close, which caused a mass protest and cancellations from it's customers.
I think that is way worse.
So let's just wait for the full reveal, and if they failed to deliver what's revealed, then we can all grab our torches and pitchforks.

Hope they have the rights to The Hobbit too, and with Gandalf include his staff from that trilogy too. Love that design. I think the new CS Gandalf from Asmus even included it. Would love to see QS tackle some Hobbit characters, too.
It's pretty hilarious lolIt's definitely dishonest. They literally say on their Facebook page "We are proud to share with you an early look at the much-anticipated 1/6 Gandalf-the second collectible sixth scale figure from InArt."
Queen is not a new company. They have been around for years and have been producing great work the whole time.I love how forgiving people are of a new company who uses altered movie screen shots to tease an expensive 1:6 scale figure. Those same people rake an established company with a long track record of producing figures for the same license over the coals for the most trivial things.
They aren't a new company though. They're just new at making 1/6 figures. Queen Studios has been around for years and has made/released a great many officially licensed products from MCU, DC, Transformers and other well known properties. I think almost everyone agrees that it was bad form to use the live action promo pic instead of the actual figure for the tease though. But, we also are 90% sure the figure is going to be revealed late tomorrow (depending on your time zone) during the live stream which I think is helping folks be more forgiving since we're going to see it sooner than later.I love how forgiving people are of a new company who uses altered movie screen shots to tease an expensive 1:6 scale figure.

People say otherwise but Hobbit merch sells. Look at the aftermarket for a lot of it. Even the Bridge Direct 6 inch Azog goes for $100+. I managed to grab him a few weeks ago for around $85 (I love Azog and just really wanted the figure for a long time). And you’re right on the Thorin statues, pricey as hell. Same goes for a lot of the other dwarves. Was looking at Weta’s Bolg statue and even opened but still “new” it sold after bids for like $600+.Hobbit characters may be the only thing I pick up...hard to say for me, except for the Hobbit. I have WETA pieces including Gandalf; both of ASMUS' Gandalfs.
I could see Queen doing Thorin in full gold armor (try finding WETA's Thorin/throne for decent price, or even WETA's original Thorin). I'd be willing to shell out for that.
E.g, dunno how far I need repeat characters like another Gandalf - how many Gandalfs do I need?
Whatever they do, am scared of the price.
I feel like anything Thranduil holds value too but that may be just anecdotal.People say otherwise but Hobbit merch sells. Look at the aftermarket for a lot of it.

I think so - am on the 'bay a lot and it's slim pickings in Hobbit land lately; or prices are absurd. Been a very long time since I've seen WETA's first Thranduil for resale. Think there is one TOE. Haven't checked on ASMUS but their Thranduil is hard to come by. It's to the point I feel like with Hobbit stuff I missed just to hope I get lucky or be prepared to cough up 3-4x original retail. For a not-new piece or figure.I feel like anything Thranduil holds value too but that may be just anecdotal.
