LOTR merchandise we never want to see - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Tigerlily Gamgee · 11-03-2002, 01:03 AM

I thought that this would be a fun one. Here's how it works. ..
We all know that LOTR merchandising is a really big thing right now. So this is to post merchandise that you hope you never run across in a store.
Here's some that I came up with:

~Lucky Hobbit's Foot keyring
~Life-Sized Legolas Doll
~The One "Teething" Ring (for babies!)
~Sam's Elven Jump Rope
~Denethor & Pyre Delux Action Set
~Gimli's Guide to Beard Braiding
~Legolas Bed Sheets
~Galadriel's Greatest Hits: Melodies of the Golden Wood
~Orc Sports Drink w/Collectable Bottles

Your turn!!!!! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I swear, if that Arwen Barbie ends up on the market, I'm staging a protest. A big one.

Mintyztwin · 11-04-2002, 07:46 PM

Elenna · 11-05-2002, 03:00 PM

Nevfeniel - And we have to torch a few of them. A big Barbie bonfire.

*Elenna retreats into a corner, starts rocking back and forth and giggling*

And we should make signs saying "Down with Barbiewen!" except write it in Tengwar!

Mintyztwin · 11-05-2002, 05:38 PM

Ooh! Good idee!!!! [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

VanimaEdhel · 11-05-2002, 06:06 PM

Gorwingel · 01-10-2003, 06:43 PM

Hey everyone who does not want an Arwen barbie doll, they actually make something close. The people who make all the action figures make an Arwen doll with fabric clothing and everything, they also make an Eowyn one. But I have to tell ya, they are not very attractive [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] .

I would never ever want to see any LOTR underwear, just not a good thing.

How about a flaming Balrog firework, actually that could be kind of cool
