Everyone complaining about these figures needs to jump in a time machine and travel back to the early 2000s. That's the only way you'll be satisfied. Those days are done and dusted and you won't see them again in a retail line at an affordable price.
The rest of us can keep moving into the here and now.

Again, not saying you have to like it. It's just the reality of the toy market today.
New pics from US Toy Fair, courtesy Scud on TheFwoosh:
Amazing texture and detail on Radagast. He turned out great!
The White Warg (he said the lighting was weird, which is why it looks yellowish)
Corrected Azog (the other was an older proto based on an early concept)
Bolg and Gandalf 2-pack. Apparently these will MSRP for only $20! Which will make the pain of buying Gandalf and Thorin again easier to bear, I suppose. Still don't love the practice.
Some further info:
• They want to do a 3/4 scale Smaug though the scale won't be EXACT to the figures. Waiting on reference from Weta. If they don't get it in time, it might not make it for this year.
• Yanzeg will be released in the US. In 2-pack with Bilbo, and possibly on his own.
• Desolation of Smaug will have a package variation like the LOTR figures and should be out in October/November
• Party of Thorin pack with all the dwarves, Bilbo and Gandalf planned, will retail for $80.
• There will be another SDCC exclusive, and there could be some movie tie-in figure. Not sure what the latter is about. Maybe an exclusive figure given out by a theater chain?
