just2good Posted July 10, 2012 Just noticed, but Bombur;s hair piece goes over his whole torso, making him look fat! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darth Hagrid Posted July 10, 2012 I love the minifigures (Bombur is looking a bit odd, though...), but I'm annoyed that Bilbo's face isn't ideal for a Sherlock-era Doctor Watson. Eh, I think I've got my priorities messed up a bit... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Delta 38 Posted July 10, 2012 (edited) Hmm, some nice new pieces here. I wonder if there's any particular reason Bombur has a larger chest? He stands out a bit from the others. Okay, looked it up. I know why now. Edited July 10, 2012 by Delta 38 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Blue Brick Posted July 10, 2012 These new figs are really stunning. I already need to start planning out my next years Lego Budget. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tin7_creations Posted July 10, 2012 Is it just me? Or does Balin look a lot like Hannibal Lector? Love the beard designs though. Can't wait to see the remaining 9 dwarves! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
legolord Posted July 10, 2012 Hello fellow members: does anyone knows a good way to get a better looking aragorn(pants and cape). Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cutty Posted July 10, 2012 Whoa! Exciting news overnight! That Balin figure is magnificent! Given I'm a sucker for dwarves as is, but this... damn well design by TLC nowadays! Be well! Cutty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shroffy123 Posted July 10, 2012 On another note, these figures all look like they'll be part of one set, and Bilbo's in his casual clothing. I bet these are all from a Bag End set. Is it just rumor there is a bag end set, or has something been stated? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stiel Posted July 10, 2012 Is it just rumor there is a bag end set, or has something been stated? Well, the picture's filename includes 79003, which is known to be the set number of an upcoming Hobbit set, and the assortment of figures suggests that this set should be Bag End (Bilbo is wearing his home clothes, no enemies etc.). So it is speculation, but pretty solid in my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MattZitron Posted July 10, 2012 (edited) Love these figures. What makes me smile is that Bofur can be customised into James Nesbitt's (he plays Bofur, fairly famous in the UK) character from Murphy's Law And of course we can make a custom John Watson as well!

DraikNova Posted July 10, 2012 Even I might buy one of these, just for the minifigures. Hopefully at some point we'll get Smaug. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Multiverse Posted July 10, 2012 And of course we can make a custom John Watson as well! With Martin Freeman's face, right? The best thing is that Benedict Cumberbatch is also in the movie, so there's a pretty good chance of getting Sherlock as well. :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nagyzee Posted July 10, 2012 What's that inside Bombur's beard? Looks something like an air tank to me by the forms of it. Is it supposed to be his stomach? If yes then it starts way, way too high. That protrusion goes above even his shoulder making him look extremely odd. But even if it started lower it would be still odd. It doesn't seem like as he has a nice round belly with his beard laying on it. Instead it seems like as if he had an extra protruding body part on top of his belly inside the beard. Or is it just me that's bothered by it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hive Posted July 10, 2012 Wow, they sure went all-out with expensive new molds in abundance. Good news to most, but bad news to those of us who had hoped we'd get reasonable prices on some of the Hobbit sets. Some of those beards are great though, and a few of the torsos look real good. I do not understand why Gandalf is exactly the same as in Gandalf Arrives, he should at least have a darker and thus younger-looking beard. And I really really don't like what they've done to make one of the figs fat... apart from it looking extremely weird and making his beard only useable with that particular torso, I think it's a wrong direction to go away from the classic minifig shape. I mean, what's next, breasts on females? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redhead1982 Posted July 10, 2012 The new figures looks great, specially Bilbo. He looks like 'Bilbo'. In my opinion (I'm not fond of fleshies), these LOTR and Hobbit sets really have great minifigures with more and more details. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
narbilu Posted July 10, 2012 How cool is that, 4 dwarves in the first of 6 sets... would all 13 come in the 6 sets? Bag's End Dwalin, Bofur, Bombur and Balin Misty Mountains Fili & Kili Warg Chase Ori Mirkwood Nori & Dori Dungeon of the Elven King Bifur Escape the Trolls Thorin Rivendell Gloin & Oin Wouldn't this be cool.

TheDarkness Posted July 10, 2012 It would be something like that narbilu. Looking at what they did with the Fellowship, there is no way they will put all the dwarves in one set. It makes people buy more this way! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wouldn't Fili and Kili be better suited for mirkwood/elven encounter. Seeing as Kili gets a crush on Tauriel(?) and both Fili and Kili do some lookout/scouting there? Also the propability of there being a "riddles in the dark" set is quite high it would propably be the cheap set of the wave and not feature any dwarves. Unless its part of a larger goblin halls/gollum cave set. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seeing as Kili gets a crush on Tauriel(?) and both Fili and Kili do some lookout/scouting there? Fili & Kili are also the two dwarves who seek out a cave to sleep in (that's why), but both could happen Edited July 10, 2012 by narbilu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Multiverse Posted July 10, 2012 Benedict Cumberbatch is playing Smaug, so don't expect a regular LEGO minifigure face for him. Though he's also Sauron, which is at least something slightly more humanoid. =J Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wolvarie Posted July 10, 2012 Awesome as I knew they would be!!!! Just wish, wish, wish, LEGO could come up with some movable mini legs. That would make the Dwarves the must have figs of the year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
