I think BD was given this figure image, and later in the making, PJ decided to do a CG Azog. Thus, they changed this figure to Bolg. It seems that this version of Bolg was changed again for DOS. So now we have a huge awesome looking orc that was seen for about 2 seconds during the flashback scene. In that scene, Dwalin strikes him with a sword, so now this random orc is presumed to be dead. In AUJ, this figure was never given a name, but the credits do list Bolg and the actor that played him (some dude name Conan).

It's unfortunate for us and BD that we lost this figure for the next 2 movies. I like this Bolg a lot more than DOS Bolg, and now BD is not going to make a DOS Bolg as the naming would be confusing.
