Lord of the Rings figures

[ThomasLane]

Here's really good professional pictures straight from NECA of Aragorn and Legolas. And a really really big close up of ole Aragorn's Kisser.

Pretty nice looking statues. I don't know if it's the sculpt, or just the angle, but Legolas looks kinda like Dolph Lundgren.

Not statues, actually. They are articulated:

Wow, Legolas looks amazing.

Wow, Legolas looks amazing.

I don't know he looks more manly than in the film and his hair looks like crap. There's something about his nose. It's too wide.

Just updated with a better picture of his face, so go back and check it. Sounds like Gandalf is pretty much confirmed also. Since Randy said that Tankman isn't doing Gandalf.

Turbowars you have to understand that this is only a phototype still. It is not the finished product.

Nice!!

I'll be getting these, definitely. Gandalf is a possibility too now huh? Very cool.

Thanks JJ. I was hoping to get an Aragorn figure more themed towards FOTR or early in TTT, and doesn't have to be battling. I just read there will be a Super Poseable Strider on the new card AND a Super Poseable Helm's Deep Aragorn, but it won't be until October and July, respectively, so I'm pretty much stuck deciding between Strider and TTT Aragorn since I'm only going for what's in stores now... heck, maybe I'll just try to track down the best paint on one of each and then I won't have to decide. That's what I ended up doing with the 2 Legolas figures I picked up yesterday (in theory ).

BTW, I tried out the bow & arrow on ROTK Legolas and the axe-throwing action on Gimli, those suckers are hardcore!!! Most of Legolas's arrows have bent tips because they're so soft I guess, but that thing shot about 10 feet across the room at lightning speed, eventually stopping only when it hit furniture. And Gimli, once I got the right angle on his axe-throwing arm (it's one click higher than I thought it would be), that figure tossed the axe with impressive vigor. These are not action features you want around your face, that's for sure.

Is it wrong of me to not want figures of any of the hobbits?

The NECA offerings look choice. $40 though - yikes!

[kool-aid killer]

Not at all JT. The hobbit figures, in my opinion, arent very good. Merry and Pippen come of as being very poor toys. I think they could have done well without action features. Frodo with light up Sting loses points because of the molded on sword. But i have liked both of Sams figures.

That Aragorn does look nice, but im going to have to skip him. I can use those $40 for a couple of other figures.
