LOTR merchandise we never want to see
 
I thought that this would be a fun one. Here's how it works. ..
We all know that LOTR merchandising is a really big thing right now. So this is to post merchandise that you hope you never run across in a store.
Here's some that I came up with:

~Lucky Hobbit's Foot keyring
~Life-Sized Legolas Doll
~The One "Teething" Ring (for babies!)
~Sam's Elven Jump Rope
~Denethor & Pyre Delux Action Set
~Gimli's Guide to Beard Braiding
~Legolas Bed Sheets
~Galadriel's Greatest Hits: Melodies of the Golden Wood
~Orc Sports Drink w/Collectable Bottles

Your turn!!!!! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I swear, if that Arwen Barbie ends up on the market, I'm staging a protest. A big one.

Mintyztwin 11-04-2002 07:46 PM

Ew. An Arwen Barbie? Yech. I don't even want to think about it!!!!!! "Why don't you just give me a paper cut and pour lemon juice on it?"

Okay, a product I hope to not see . . . [pardon my grammar] Nazgul breath spray. "Knock your friends flat with just a wiff!"

Hoo boy. That was lame. And probably pre-done. [I only skim threads!]I think I'll go do homework now!

How about a Shadowfax horse doll that comes with markers and stickers to decorate it? That would give me nightmares.

I'll join you! We can buy some for the sole purpose of ripping their heads and/or other limbs off! That would be fun.

hobbitlass 11-05-2002 07:32 AM

Goggles and "Watcher in the Water" pool set.
Gollum nailclippers.

All I can think of now.

Mintyztwin 11-05-2002 08:31 AM

Hah! I liked that last one! "Watcher in the Water." I would probably actually get that! Heh heh. *chuckles evilly* [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

Elenna 11-05-2002 03:00 PM

Nevfeniel - And we have to torch a few of them. A big Barbie bonfire.

*Elenna retreats into a corner, starts rocking back and forth and giggling*

And we should make signs saying "Down with Barbiewen!" except write it in Tengwar!

Mintyztwin 11-05-2002 05:38 PM

Ooh! Good idee!!!! [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

VanimaEdhel 11-05-2002 06:06 PM

A blowup doll of any of them for...well...you know...we all know what blowup "girlfriends" are for...I just do not want to see them for boys or girls.

Frodo's missing finger! A genuine hobbit limb. Now you can have eleven!

A lock of Aragorn's hair! It's greasy, its dirty, but it's royalty!

Gorwingel 01-10-2003 06:43 PM

Hey everyone who does not want an Arwen barbie doll, they actually make something close. The people who make all the action figures make an Arwen doll with fabric clothing and everything, they also make an Eowyn one. But I have to tell ya, they are not very attractive [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] .

I would never ever want to see any LOTR underwear, just not a good thing.

How about a flaming Balrog firework, actually that could be kind of cool
