LEGO The Hobbit 2014 minifigs: Mirkwood Elf & Gundabad Orc

A close-up of two of the minifigs from the new wave of LEGO The Hobbit sets, courtesy of an eBay seller (Click here to access the relevant announcements) which one wonders where he got this Mirkwood Elf and this Gundabad Orc ...

I am more and more cautious when I see all these still unseen minifigs ending up on eBay, sometimes in significant quantities, and LEGO which obviously does not seem to react. At this stage, it is no longer isolated leaks, but real traffic that seems to be organized at the exit of the LEGO factories.

For information, these two minifigs will be delivered in the set 79012 Mirwood Elf Army.
