The Hobbits coming to Sideshow.

[pixletwin]

Would you guys really buy 1:6 of every single Dwarf in the Hobbit?

yup

 

[Snadinator]

bleh to 1:6

 

[Ktjn]

Wish ss would do 1/6, or maybe mini busts (60-90 range)?

Though, is anything hobbit really selling? Seems like shades of fotr, where products didn't really take off til the DVD release or the next movie comes out.

 

[cstojano]

Still don't get the timing unless they have product ready to go VERY soon.

13 dwarf PFs will never happen, thank God. I am sure we will see all the made up bad guys though. I wonder if SS has the huevos to release the Goblin King.

 

[The Josh]

GG is doing busts. I'm so very curious as to what they will be making. Color me very curious.

 

[cstojano]

Hot Toys is next Josh, once SS gets their hooks in the game it is inevitable

We have 2 more movies to go. The timing is fine.

Don't worry. Josh is a true Tolkien collector, and as such, has no interest in tolkien based 1:6 figures. Right Josh?

Yeah that's the problem now isn't it.

 

[xjamiex]

Hopefully these are PFs.

Plenty of awesome characters... Thorin, Bilbo, Thranduil, Rhadagast, Bard, Azog....

Yes! I hope we see a new Gandalf PF too!

This is fantastic news!

Sure

 

[pixletwin]

Sure

I certainly don't wish a new Gandalf PF. Gandalf the Grey PF is perfect as is and The White is pretty good too IMO. I have both and I would rather they focus on pretty much any other character now.

The white council is in The Hobbit so how about Elrond, Saruman, a proper Galadriel or Rhadagast?

 

[Phil Sierra]

No surprise by the announcement, but I'm very happy that it's official now. I'm a PF man and I can't wait to see what's coming.

 

[Enthus]

This is great news! I would imagine they are taking care of 1:4 and leaving the 1:6 statues for Weta. Or maybe a maquette line similar to the current LOTR one?

 

[Fritz]

I was about to ask why wouldn't Sideshow announce a Bilbo PF to coincide with the Hobbit but I guess this is why.

 

[Kuzeh]

It would be great if they started the 1/6 line with Bilbo, Gollum and Saruman!
