Tolkien Action figures you won't find in stores. - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I don't mean your typical Tolkien figure of Aragorn, with his sword Elendil, and a sword chopping action. I'm talking about action figures that will never be come out, because they could be unsafe, or just plain out whacky.

Denethor-Box includes a 8 inch figure of Denethor, lighter fluid, and a box of matches.

Ancalagon- An Ancalagon figurine with fire-breathing action.

Glorfindel- A Glorfindel figurine with a throw Arwen off my horse action.

Have fun creating the cooky, strange, and dangerous toys that you don't want to give your kids

I've got rather a lot of these figures, and some of them are funny in their own right. As an example is Galadriel, who does not look like Galadriel, and her 'feature' is that you can 'pose' her. Hours of fun, no?

I did want them to make a 'Bungee-jump Denethor', rather like one of those modern Action Man dolls, complete with elastic rope and 'living flame' effect.

An 'existential angst Sauron' would be good - his feature could be mind-reading and causing intense distress unless you kept it in a locked cupboard where it couldn't 'see' you.

Or a 'Breaking the Light Saruman'? Complete with guide to causing theological chaos. Could be quite educational, that one.

Live-action Arwen, complete with a sharp embroidery needle, including gold and silver threads - the ultimate heroine for girl book fans!

How about a talking plush Bombadil for babies? You squeeze it and it says "Ring a ding dillo!"

Tom Bombadil (TM) complete with gag. Will sing incessenctly upon removal of gag, as used by the CIA and FBI to induce confessions. Will magically disappear in presence of a 'Peter Jackson' (TM) doll.

I like all the ideas so far!

Frodo with Ring action. When Frodo puts on the Ring he disappears, problem is you have trouble finding him again
