Success!!! I found the 'Samwise with the skillet' action figure. Or I should say, a friend found Sam for me. One of my very few friends who doesn't think my Tolkien obsession strange found Sam at an outlet mall toy store and brought him back for me. He is so awesome!! [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img] In addition, I also acquired the Twilight Nazgśl, the Helm's Deep Aragorn, Merry & Pippin (with swords & elven cloaks), & Frodo with light-up Sting & elven cloak. I will be headed to that outlet mall this weekend in search of some of the other figures.

Way to go!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Where are you going to keep it? Mine is on the table underneath which I keep my "Sam and Bill" and "Frodo". [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

It's Sean Astin definitely.

You would of course be right. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Another part of my collection consists of web pics of Mr. Astin as Sam, and I of course have a ton....many of them are him out of character, and a few, like this, are "little kid" (okay, he was 13, but he didn't look it) pics. I have a couple "little kid" pics of Li'l Mr. Wood, too, but not as many as of Mr. Astin. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

COLLECTION UPDATE:
FotR action figures: Samwise (I actually bought 2 of Sam--one to play with & one to collect) Strider Gandalf Gimli Saruman Witch King Ringwraith TTT action figures: Aragorn Aragorn Helm's Deep Eomer Merry & Pippin Frodo Twilight Ringwraith LotR Risk board game LotR kite (with Frodo & Gandalf) I think you started something, Samwise! I was never interested in action figures before...

I will soon be adding yet another peice to my collection...an autographed pic of none other than Sean Astin!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Sadly, it's in black and white (he's got such pretty colored eyes....sigh..) but hey, beggars can't be choosers. Someday I may find one in color....not to mention a Sting I can afford... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Anyways, back on topic, I think I'm going to ask for one of those light-up swords for my birthday. Toy versions of Sting sound too much fun to pass up.

No new additions to my collection lately, but I'm still debating with myself on the Shards of Narsil. It's currently back in stock, but I'm a bit short of funds at the moment. Hopefully, it will still be available after payday...

No, haven't gotten him -- the photo yet... [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] One day soon, I'm thinking. Hopefully by the end of the month. I know what you mean about being short on funds...I'll be off work for the summer, soon, so I'm steering clear of EBAY....

Collection update:
Just found "Frodo & Sam in the elven boat" action figures as well as "Gimli and Uruk-Hai warrier" today. Had to buy 2 of the "Frodo & Sam", so that I could play with one of them. I'm so excited. I decided not to get the Shards of Narsil at this time. I just found out that Legolas' white knives w/sheaths, Aragorn's dagger that he got from Celeborn and the scabbard for his Ranger sword are supposed to be released before the end of this year, so I'm going to save my money for those. (Maybe it's time to look for that second job... [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] )

I have...
-FOTR DVD -FOTR Extended DVD (not with the Argonath bookends) -The Hobbit (cover art by Alan Lee) -FOTR (cover art is pic of Rivendell like in movie by Alan Lee) -The Silmarillion (cover art by Michael Dringenburg) -FOTR game for Playstation 2 (which is kinda moronic, and you can barely tell any of the hobbits except Pippin apart) -TTT game for Gameboy Advance (it's fun for everyone, and you can be EOWYN! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] ) -TTT game for Playstation 2 (where the only good character to be is Aragorn) -The ROTK teaser poster with Aragorn as my PC background (with those stalker eyes, as my brother calls it... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] ) -The One Ring bookmark with One Ring (my old ring fell down the toilet... don't ask... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] ) -FOTR soundtrack -TTT soundtrack -Merry and Pippin action figures with Elven cloaks and SWORD-SWINGING ACTION! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] -Grishnakh action figure with SWORD-SWINGING ACTION! Yeah, as if all action figures don't have SWORD-SWINGING ACTION! printed across the box... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] Seriously, if you want action figures, go to KB TOYS!!! I went there to get mine, and they have a lot of them (like Theoden and Frodo and Aragorn). Where I went they were only $8.99 each! [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] That's pretty cheap... But they didn't have some of them that you guys mentioned, like the Frodo + Sam boat one (did they have SWORD-SWINGING ACTION!, me wonders...) [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

My husband just got Boromir and Lurtz, boxed together with bow, sword, shield and horn, on sale for $9.99. He really likes Boromir! I like my complete circle of Burger King figures, connected to the one ring, that I got at a garage sale for $2.00. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] All the figures either light up and/or speak. I put it on a lazy susan. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

Alatariel, the Boromir/Lurtz is in the green FoTR box. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] (I hate the "Warning choking hazard" plastered on the front! [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] It's so annoying! )
I thought he said he got it at Sears, and the sales clerk took him to the backroom, showing him some figures that were lurking back there, not on the shelves anymore. Anyway, he was excited, cause he thought Boromir was hard to find (I never looked, I'm not real keen on those plastic figures! [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] ) and that Boromir was going for $40 on the internet. I'm glad he's happy! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] I still like my beautiful snowglobe best! [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img] Whoops! Looks like Kay Bee toys...not Sears!

By the way, I got a sliver chain to place my "one ring" on. (Now all I need is a grey cloak of Lorien, hairy feet, and a really good hobbit wig....)

Samwise: Hmmm...that's a tough call. However, he looks a little older than Rudy but not as old as Sam. And you're right, he does look handsome in black and white. I'm envious!!

Update: Just got Hadhafang (Elrond's & Arwen's sword) delivered today. It is really beautiful. Bigger than Sting; smaller than Narsil; with lots of engraving. Incredible workmanship!

Haunting pays! I found 'Boromir and Lurtz' and 'Merry and Pippin with the Moria Orc' at one of the local retail KB's. Fortunately, they had two of each in stock...one to collect, one to play with/display. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] I found 'Sam in Mordor' with rope climbing action at Elf Mart last week, but they only had one..dang it! Can't play with him yet. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]
