LEGO The Hobbit: Here are the minifigs ...

The next San Diego Comic Con (SDDC 2012) promises to be rich in novelties and The Hollywood Reporter Kicks off hostilities with the unveiling of the new minifigs from the LEGO The Hobbit range.

The announcements should follow one another in the days to come and we are entitled to a first visual of the minifigs of Gandalf, Dwalin, Bombur, Bofur, Bilbo and Balin which will populate the sets based on the film. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (Released December 14, 2012).

The official release of sets based on the film is scheduled for December 1, 2012. Peter Jackson, director of the Lord of the Rings trilogy and the two episodes of The Hobbit, announced his presence at San Diego Comic Con (from July 12 to 15, 2012), probably to present a new trailer for the first part. LEGO will surely take the opportunity to reveal a little more about the next wave of sets based on the film. We'll know more by the end of the week.
