The Barrow Balrog comes with detachable wings that you can leave on or take off as you prefer. Better yet, buy two so you can have one of each. Invite your friends over and stage battles between the Winged and Non-Winged versions.

And, as a special gift, there is the Action Button Activator/Deactivator Key. Use it to turn the wing motion on or off, giving you total freedom to have a Balrog with wings that work, or wings that are simply for show.

Thumbs up

The saucepan-man action figure, with permanent saucepan action. Frighten all your friends with his more than thee phrases including:

"Oh dear, my saucepan is stuck on my head!"
"Balrogs DEFINATLY are not not unwinged."
"Tom Bombadill is like this guy who is like this other guy who is kind 'a like the first guy but not."

Sorry saucepan, there are just random things that I found amusing.

Hmm, I can see substantive grounds for a defamation action here ...

That sounds a bit papal to me!

What about, in honour of Eomer of the Rohirrim, the Downs Action Figure Mullet Transformer? Place your 'Downs action figure into the box, press a button and it comes out with 'Hockey Hair'.

Ah, but can you get the Limited Edition Metaphorical Version? Remember, to take this out of the packaging will seriously devalue the item. Not least because, in the manner of the Emperor's New Clothes, this will simply be the regular version without the wings. But all of us collectors will snap it up, fools that we are.

Warning: Barrow Balrog is highly flammable and swathed with shadow. You might be surprised to find out how big the tangible part really is.
