    New Hobbit figures. Anyone find them yet?

    The release date for the Hobbit figures is Oct 1st but I've being reading they've already started to show up at some TRUs. Some on ebay already too including previously announced figures like Legolas and Tauriel.

    None in my area.
    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

      I found the 3 3/4" single packs in Lafayette, Louisiana. Of course I bought Gandalf and Bilbo! They were $10.99 a piece but I was tempted to buy all five different characters. I'll definately be getting more come payday!

            If you don't mind spoilers check out the links below. This line is going to be awesome! I hope they give us some lines from The Lord of the Rings trilogy as well! I'm more excited for The Hobbit figures than I have been for any other line in recent memory.

            Some snaps of a few action figures from the initial toy line from Peter Jackson's first Hobbit movie provide our very first glimpse of 'Bolg', as well as better looks at the 'Great Goblin' and 'Grinnah'..


            Some low quality snaps of more action figures here, this time revealing our very first glimpse at how Lost actress Evangeline Lilly will look as Tauriel the Elf. There's also a Warg, another Goblin named Fimbul, and our first look - in these movies - at Orlando Bloom as Legolas..

              I take back anything remotely negative I said about the line.
              I am now blinded with desperate need for the Goblin King, Grinnah the Goblin and Blog figures.
              Bring it!

                Although not reach the high level of sculpture and articulation of Toy Biz, these figures are much better than I imagined. In fact I prefer the way they have painted faces and creatures, without using unnecessary paint.

                  Bridge Direct finally has a Hobbit section up on their website. Nothing we haven't see before. Same prototype pics of the figures that have been floating around the net for months and they don't even list all toys. But, hey, it's a start, I guess.

                      I agree. In sculpts and paint they match or exceed Hasbro's best in the scale.

                            Picked up the only single 3.75"ers left on the shelves at TRU today (Bilbo and Thorin), very impressed and looking forward to finding the rest in both scales. Are these showing up anywhere besides TRU yet? Also, does anyone know what series 2 assortments will looke like? I'd like to get an idea of what to expect before diving into the 2-packs with so much repackaging going on already. Anyway I hope these sell very well, I'd love to see TheBridge Direct tackle the LotR trilogy as well!

                              They are new bad guys named Grinnah and Bolg. The sculpts are very cool.





                              I haven't heard of any repeats in the next wave. Just don't overlap in the 1st wave. I have been to a ton of places and only seen them in person at TRU. Still need the 6" versions and the other dwarf two packs.
