9470 Shelob Attacks: a spider weaves its web ...

I'm doing what you are right now, past the excitement of the announcement, I spend my time scrutinizing the hundreds of images of the sets taken by the lucky ones who were able to attend the New York Toy Fair 2012 and I just saw myself. realize a little late that the set 9470 Shelob Attacks will have a nice functionality. No, it's not flick-fire missiles for once, but Shelob's ability to weave his web to imprison Frodo.

The box of the set presented shows a white canvas, but the real model exhibited at the show has a black thread coming out of Shelob's abdomen.

In fact this set still brings together a good number of essential elements: The ring, Gollum, Frodo and Samwise; and it guarantees good playability for the youngest who will be able to replay the film scene endlessly. The red grapple which a priori represents Shelob's sting (????) would deserve at least one other color ...

We can clearly see this feature in the photos taken by FBTB during the show, and you can see more in the flickr gallery dedicated to this set.
