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

In keeping with the current CbC discussion, how about an Entwife doll.

Open the box and ... surprise, surprise ... it's empty! [*groan*]

You're forgetting Boromir the Disco King! Complete with Disco ball and a lavender leisure suit!

And then there's the Legolas Barbie. You can really comb his long, blonde hair! Plus, there's real makeup that you can use too!

Or how about an Ulmo figure? He's one of those ones that wind up and can swim in the bathtub.

There's the Erkenbrand and Beregond action figures, because really; who cares?

A Frolijah doll with

action.

Elrond doll with exlax. I think with all that "I hate everyone" talk, and sweating in the movies, Elrond needs to relieve some stress.

How about a Tickle-Me Ulmo? rimshot

And what about Eowyn the Disco Queen? Comes with Fog Machine™ and bell bottom jeans.

Hey, Gil-Galad, check this out: PJ's Cameos

Not really an Action Figure, but how about an Eye of Sauron Nightlight? Or an Orthanc hat rack? The realm for LotR related furniture and appliances is endless!

Or to revive an old joke, with specific reference to the Films

Action Man - the M.I.A. range.

Glorfindel
Gildor
Imrahil
etc

I don't have children but I do have vast numbers of children to buy for ( I am starting to sympathise with Carrie in SATC when she realises how much money she has spent on other peoples weddings and children over the years

). some are adorable, others are so scary I won't be left alone with them and I am sure the latter would enjoy:

As an alternative to Sea Monkeys, "Grow your own orcs" kit (complete with slime).

Radio- controlled mumakil (guaranteed to trash the house and complete with real arrow firing action and very sharp tusks).

"Shadowfax" rocking horse - will throw off anyone who tries to ride it (except Gandalf).

Flying balrog - fix to ceiling and watch out for the whip....

Bêthberry · 12-15-2004, 02:38 PM

A Lobelia Barbie.

Balrog transformer. With or without wings.

Now, introducing the new Turin Turumbar action figure! A curse to all who harbor him, your house is certain to fall down in ruin within days of bringing him home. He also can tell what factory other toys were made in and will attempt to breed with any toy from the same factory as himself.

And who wouldn't want Celeborn with gift-giving action? Celeborn strolls around tossing random gifts to other action figures, unless they are a dwarf. Celeborn tends to pop the heads off dwarf figurines unless a Galadriel figure is there to restrain him.

And no Tolkien collection would be complete without Smeagol/Gollum. It's like two toys in one! Just press the button on his back to transform him. Both modes have their own advantages. Smeagol features Deagol-strangling action. Gollum tells riddles and tries to kill you if you answer incorrectly.
(a note from the manufacturer: you should keep an eye on the toy when in Gollum mode- it has a tendency to trip and fall into every large, open pit it gets too close to)

This made me laugh...eheh. Sapphire_Flame I'm trying to think of why it would include, but all I'm gettting is a "Toss and Tickle-Me Ulmo." Not quite as funny.

"And now you too can get the Ernie the Oliphaunt action figure. He even makes real Oliphaunt sounds and demolishes any convertible that Legolas Barbie would come with. Want to impress your friends, want to step on their action figures? Then get Ernie the Oliphaunt this Christmas."

Feanor of the Peredhil · 12-15-2004, 04:30 PM

Okeydokey... What I would never buy my prospective children that do not exist and will not for some number of years:

Prince Imrahil with complimentary Bouquet of Forget-Me-Nots. And shiny cape.

Hal...dir... er um... barad... With Grey Company Retaking Action and Subdued [non-sparkly] Armor.

Bossy Bombadil with Ludicrous Pet Naming Action! Buy him at a PetSmart near you!

Bar-room Pippen with Pint-Sloshing Action. Really says the words "Sure I know Frodo, he's over there! See? Him. Hey FRODO! This guy in a black cape wants to talk to you."

Xenarwen with Ayayayayay Action.
