Like any blockbuster movie, Peter Jackson's The Lord Of The Rings is set to spawn a slew of spin-off merchandising. Collectors are waiting with bated breath for a view of the action figures from the movie. In an exclusive to this site, John Horde returns with pictures of the action figure versions of two of the key characters from the film.
Thank you Jimcalagon for your excellent introduction. It is no secret that a number of action figures based on characters from Peter Jackson's The Lord Of The Rings will soon be available but, until now, no-one has seen the actual figures. This is due to the confidentiality agreements signed with New Line pictures to ensure that the designs that Peter Jackson wants to keep secret actually stay secret
However, in a recent press conference in Los Angeles, TOYZ INC unveiled two of the figures to unanimous approval from fans and collectors alike. In an exclusive to Jimcalagon's site, here are the official press releases for these two characters, Khamul The Eastender and Blurtz, King of the Misty Mountain Orcs. Click on the images to see the full-size pictures along with the promotional descriptions.

Blurtz, King of the Misty Mountain Orcs
Someone has obviously worked long and hard to get the exact look of Tolkien's original books nailed to a tee.
