Actually I have to admit that I think the Galadriel is quite cool
I agree. Not a Barbie fan, but this is nice.

But the Legolas is not thin enough, he seems just a little too bulky for such a light, willowy elf.
Not really a Lego fan, either, but I agree again. He dosen't look right.

(besides, don't the makers know that Barbie's not going with Ken anymore anyway...?)

LOL! I read this too quickly and misunderstood . . . I thought that the Lego company was putting out a collection of LotR figures! Now that would be interesting and unique! I did check the Lego site . . . no such series . . . ratz!

I am putting my Mastercard away for a while - finally made a successful bid on Hadhafang (Arwen's blade - though in reality it was Idril's sword) for the range I was willing to pay. I must say it feels lovely in hand!

Got that and a UK copy of 'Atlas of Middle-earth' by Fonstad with a different cover than the US edition.

eBay - much too tempting!

5)Their Arrows Enrage
Lego, in what looks like Galadriel's forest, again aiming his bow at
something. Weird...but I'm right. It's a DIFFERENT bow that the one
he's using in Moria. Where along the road did he get another bow? ;p
Stacey: I have that card as well, and he's actually in the forest at Amon Hen at the end of FotR. The giving of gifts to the Fellowship by Galadriel is only shown in the Extended Edition, but Legolas is given a new bow (with arrows) there, so when he's shooting after they leave Lothlórien, it's with the new bow.

In case the makers didn't know, this Barbie never even dated this Ken and is, in fact, married to another doll (Brad? Jim? Dave?). Not to mention the fact that Galadriel is old enough to be Legolas' grandmother...hello?? Oh wait--that didn't stop Arwen, did it?

Hullo, Miss Pio! Good to be in the same thread with you again!

Ah...you forget these things when you don't have the Extended version (although, knowing what they did to Sam's gift, I might not want to see it...I know --they didn't do the Scouring of the Shire and yadda yadda...but that was still one of my favorite scenes in the books !!!)

Oooh. That sounds cool. How far have you gotten on it?

This sounds cool, too! Is this the polystone figure, or a toy, or which?
