Check this out, the Balrog prototype. ToyBiz is hesitant to release this monster though since it might be "too scary" to sell well.They've obviously never been to the McFarlane section of the toy aisle.
This thing is huge:

I don't know, I'm not as afraid of a fifteen foot tall troll with no neck as I am of a fifty foot tall demon engulfed in flames and carrying a sword and a whip.
But that's just me.

I think slow sales of the Cave Troll could also be the reason. However, when the Troll's face is falling apart in the store how do you expect people to shovel out money for it? I bought one at TRU and after a couple of weeks his face dried up and is cracking apart.
As long as TB doesn't use the squishy rubber for "real feel" skin, then it should be fine.
Anyways, I really hope this thing gets released, even if it has to be an exclusive. As long as it is made.

I'd jump on that if I were you. If you've got the receipts & UPC's, go ahead and send it on in. I believe the figure production is limited to only 5000 pieces and the offer has been going on since the release of the DVD, several weeks ago. I'm very happy with mine!!!

I just saw an assortment of LOTR TT figures at Zellers up here in Canada. Legolas, Faramir, Easterling, and a generic Ranger. So cool, it was all I could do to NOT drop the 50 bucks. These figures are approaching MacFarlane levels of paint and sculpt detail. Very, very nice.
