[Weapon XIX]

Now some thoughts:

• The skirts are very stiff plastic and really don't allow for a lot of movement. Legolas has one of the softer skirts, but there are no slits anywhere and doesn't provide any leeway for the articulated legs.
• The baddies are awesome! They're chock full of articulation, detail, and greats it apps.
• All figures could benefit from ankle articulation and peg holes in the feet.
• The Goblin King is huge and really gross looking. He's also got a mid torso joint with a really good range of motion.
• The wargs are tremendously awesome! Tons of detail and articulation and great paint apps. There are a few red splotches to mimic wounds and scars, but there aren't any sculpted scars, which would have been nice, but that's a really minor gripe. I also wish they had saddles like the ToyBiz warg. Regardless, I gotta have more!
• Thorin looks great and I can't wait to get the rest of the dwarves.
• The functional weapon storage is pretty great, though bow storage would have been nice for the archers.
• I LOVE having a Gandalf the Gray figure in this scale!

Bilbo, Gollum, and the dwarves should be here Monday. I'll post pics as soon as I get 'em.
