This will undoubtedly be one of the only photos of this Toy Fair currently being held in Nuremberg, Germany with these maxifigs of Frodo and Samwise. I intentionally cut the guy on the left present on the original photo seen on the FBTB flickr, he may not want to be found everywhere on the internet ...
In the background, we see Shelob, the giant spider seen in the third film of the cinematographic saga directed by Peter Jackson and which will be delivered in the 9470 Shelob Attacks set with 3 minifigs: Frodo, Samwise & Gollum.
To simplify everyone's life and because these minifigs deserve to be examined from every angle to get an idea, here they are in close-up. Click on the images to view a large version.
The first reactions read here and there on the internet are very positive. Even Gollum found his audience ...
LEGO distills the visuals of the Lord of the Rings range in a dropper and now offers a poster of Gollum, rather disappointing for my taste with his alien head escaped from area 51, and two boards featuring the characters of the Fellowship of the Ring ™ already seen at the London Toy Fair 2012 to which are added an Uruk-Hai, a Moria Orc, a Mordor Orc and a Ringrwaith.
The Uruk-Hai's armor is successful, a small silkscreen wouldn't hurt. The two Orcs have pretty chests, the faces are also very consistent, only the hair leaves me a little doubtful. As for the Ringrwaith, nothing fancy, grab your Star Wars minifigs and do it yourself.
We will weigh these visuals which are in fact 3D renderings of the minifigs concerned and not the real plastic minifigs. their situation is different from what will be possible, especially in terms of poses, movements of the arms and legs, with the plastic versions that I am waiting to see to confirm or deny my first impressions.
Note also the difference in design between the two versions of Gollum. That of the poster is obviously over-styled to attract customers. That of the character board is downright pathetic .... Even the 1999 Sebulba (7171 Mos Espa Podrace) is more credible.
It is also confirmed that all the hobbits will be styled like Elijah Wood aka Frodo Baggins in the movie.
While you wear your retina trying to zoom in on the photo of the LEGO LOTR booth at London Toy Fair 2012, I bring you a truly awesome MOC of Grond, the destructive wolf-headed, fire-breathing ram seen in Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King during the siege of Minas Tirith.
This device was also reproduced in the video games taken from the license: The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King et The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth.
So take a few minutes to rest your eyes by going to admire this MOC from every angle on the flickr gallery by Martin Latta alias Thire5 or on his Brickshelf gallery which offers many views of the scene.
This is all that we will see from the LEGO Lord of the Rings sets for now and this is a shot that has not been authorized by LEGO and can be viewed on the flickr gallery by Huw Millington (brick set). Click on the image to see this visual in high resolution.
