Stocking Stuffer Ideas

I want the Maeggaladiel action figure for Christmas. Place her in front of her miniature computer and she will sit and stare blankly at the screen for hours upon end! Oh, the excitement!

And who could forget the amazing Barrow Downs BARROWVISION GLASSES! Simply put them on when you feel like you've been away from the Downs for too long, and VIOLA! Everything turns black and green! You'll be feeling "all Wight" in no time at all!

Is your real life getting in the way of your "Downs Time?" Ever wish there was some way to be in two places at once? WELL NOW YOU CAN! Thanks to the Barrow Downs Holo-Wight, you can create a holographic you to go to work, sit in on classes, attend social functions, etc., while you can sit at home and talk on the Downs! Huzzah!

Lastly we have the AMAZING BOX O' SMILES! A boxed set of twelve cards containing copies of authentic Barrow Smiles. Let's face it: Why express emotion with your own face when you could do it with these faces? Ever find yourself wishing you had that certain smiley dude when you're speaking to people in that strange realm known as the "Real World?" HA! Don't we all? Does it feel odd to be communicating and expressing emotion with your face instead of your fingers? Well, those days are over, fellow undeads! Just hold up your desired emotion mid-sentence and soon you'll feel right at home! Reserve those facial muscles for when you really need them.

How about the Lalwende/Mithalwen dolls twin set? It comes with a mini-game where both dolls rapidly collect little green blocks.
And they would, of course, be able to talk. But the Mithalwen one would come with more outfits.

The Eomer of the Rohirrim action figure would have a wry smile and be programmed to come out with witty one-liners.

The Boromir88 action figure would come ready packed with a little box of fireworks - of course, it would be hard to find one in future years where the little fireworks were unused, so they would be most expensive in years to come.

Let's not forget the accessories!

Buy the Playsets of Glory for your Downer action figures (oh, come off it, they're dolls!) and watch them move from one to the next as their reputations grow!

The Road Goes Ever On and On Starter Kit: for those brand-new Downers starting the path to adventure. Comes with plenty of Scotch tape to hold together their piles o' bones and animated skeletons.

Great Smials Party Time Adventure: only the cleverest Tooks may live here (no fools allowed). Comes with real working bathtubs!

Watch My Garden Grow: plant the seeds in the pots provided and see the miracle of the mallorn. (Not for the faithless. Use only as directed. Actual results may vary.)

Rolling Stone Gift Set: Watch your Downers travel the world in this scale model of Middle-Earth. Comes with Narya AND poseable Shadowfax with brushable mane and tail!

Bag End Rescue Kit: Save Bag End from the ruffians and the Sackville-Bagginses! Comes with writing-desk, large red book, and special nine-fingered gloves. (Some experience required: this play set is not compatible with all Downer action figures; check your label before attempting play.)

Throne of Gondor Palace Playtime: Poseable Elessar and Arwen figures decked out in their finest can greet your Downer action figure in this newest Barrow-Downs playset. Throne of Gondor Palace Playtime sets are fast becoming the most popular accessories on your block! (Not compatible with most Downer action figures.)

Boots Random Sales Pitches with Titles

I say we all need this at one time or another:
Friend Zapper 3000 : Ever get sick of your naive non-LOTR-fan pals asking you questions or making unintelligent comments while your reading the books or watching the movies? By the Friend Zapper 3000! Never have to worry again about missing your favorite scene or loosing your place in the tiny print and large paragraphs. When your companion cannot stop their tounge from forming endless blather, simply push a button and a electric shock will silence them momentarily. Comes equipped with duct tape for extreme circumstances and sedatives. (Warning sedatives may cause drowsiness, and side effects of Zapper include but are not limited to: pain, shocking sensations, numbness, and irrability. Manufacturers not responsible for angry friends.)

Meh, maybe they won't sell like hot-cakes. Moaning and screaming might actually be more annoying then the talking.

Personally, I'd like a Saraphim action figure, because it comes to haunt the Downs only on days that conspicously coincide with school holidays!

Also, I'd purchase the Barrow-Dictionary at-a-glance. For the times when you're on the go with nowhere to look up obscure LotR terms!

Want to invent your own ending of the Fordim-Mithalwen duel in this thread? You can now buy the aptly-called Fordim-Mithalwen action figures set, complete with the infamous gauntlet, plus pistols and swords to choose from...and create an alternate dialogue! With a free gardening set, should your Mithalwen still decide to resort to gardening! (You can use the gauntlet for that purpose instead.)

And since it is the holiday season, you get a free luke10_27...I mean mark12_30 doll to serve as overseer-slash-cheerer!

? I don't have that many clothes...... And while the feminist streak revulses against being depicted as a DOLL even in jest ... I can promise that owners of a Mithalwen Doll would never be able to find its shoes In combination with Lalwende ? - flattering (save that I would be the big clumsy figure in comparison)and might just stop me being remaindered- but what a lot of wild red hair!!!!! Actually think I would have to be more of an inaction figure or a cuddly toy. And if Lal is accessorized with a packet of fags I would need a bottle of Merlot... Eat your hearts out Patsy and Edina... the Mithalwen figure would have a repertoire of flippant remarks and performance would be generally erratic...

The Eomer action figure would of course be accompanied by a suite of screaming fangirls.
