Lord of the Rings - Select Series 1 by Diamond Select Toys

I wonder if they'll tower over the ToyBiz figs, a la John Wick.

Gimli looks great, Legalos looks good but a little awkward in the body, maybe he'll look better posed.

Beautiful! Sold! I only hope they go deep and go to the hobbit as well.

I'll be happy if they just do the main fellowship characters, but given DST's history with cancelling lines after just 1 or 2 waves, I have my doubts we'll get the full main cast, let alone all the secondary characters. And I bet they won't even touch the Hobbit films unless the LOTR line is a massive success.

I'm still sore about the one and done waves for Pulp Fiction and X-Files, and not finishing the Muppets or Star Trek when both just needed one more wave to round out their main casts.

I imagine they're going to do the entire Fellowship since you get to build Sauron with all the pieces. I'm personally happy to stop with them and Sauron, I'm not buying anything Hobbit related or extra characters.

They most likely will. Their John Wick is probably a good measure of how tall these figures will be.

It depends, their 1st John Wick is huge, but the next one is significantly smaller.

Is the John Wick 2 figure any smaller than the giant John Wick 1 version, or are they the same size and just the "casual" white shirt Wick measures a bit smaller?

Does Legolas not come with his Swords/Fighting Knives? That would be disappointing.

Now that you mention it, they didn't say anything about what they come with exactly, like additional hands or what weapons. I guess we'll see.

Yeah the BBTS listing vaguely just says each figure includes a Sauron build-a-piece and "weapon accessories". So it is still possible Legolas could come with the daggers.

That would be excellent if he did. I don't think they displayed him with the swords back at Toyfair.
