Never Before Seen 'Two Towers' Action Figures!
- Xoanon @ 19:42 PST
Feast your eyes on 4 of the new TTT action figure toys from Toy Biz! We can certainly see a trend in the red and cold coloring for any merchandise related to TTT, so my guess is that Green was for FOTR, Red for TTT! Take a look at Faramir, an Easterling Warrior, Legolas and a Gondorian Ranger!

TTT Kinder Surprise Goodness!
- Xoanon @ 12:02 PST
Nicole writes: I don't know if somebody else already sent you this link, but I thought if not you'd like to see it. Like last year the figures will reach the shops 11th of November. I'm sure the collectors will agree with me they look pretty nice! The Saruman figure in the 7-pack has a special feature, the Palantir lights up if press a button (battery included). This variant of Saruman and the Treebeard figure will be exclusive to the 7-pack. You can also use the inside of the pack as a board game. Hope you find this information useful! [More]
