Falumpaset by Omar Ovalle

Omar Ovalle offers us a nice Falumpaset piece-based, jointed neck, ridden by a Gungan warrior who pulls a chariot full of booms, those plasma balls that the Gungans throw at the droids and their vehicles during the Naboo invasion ...

It is beautifully executed and it is in the continuity of his series on the creatures of the Star Wars universe that I let you discover on his flickr gallery. You will find there all the bestiary of the saga with Reek, Dewback, Orray, Boga and Fambaa ... A real zoo ...

The Hobbit: Goblin King & Grinnah - The Bridge Direct Collectible Action Figures

The products of The Hobbit saga begin to flood the shelves and we discover what some characters look like. This allows us as best we can to anticipate the look of the next minifigs in the The Hobbit range.

The Bridge Direct, manufacturer of action figures collectors, offers the Goblin king and the coward but vicious Grinnah, two characters that should be adapted in minifig version if LEGO does its job and will undoubtedly be in the set 79010 Cave of the Orc King.
