I thought I was the only one. I am not getting him because this would bother me forever! The Joker (Beach) and Harley 2 pack from Hot Topic also didn't get the details right. Funko is usually great with details. I wonder what's happening :-k

. Kinda disappointed

Invisible Frodo is one of the coolest pops i have ever seen. Wish he was wearing the ring tho :-k

Funko might not have seen a way for the ring to be distinguishable on his finger as a clear pop. Soooo, I'm good, purchase regardless.

They were able to do it on invisible Bilbo. They put it on his finger and painted it gold. Should of done the same on Frodo.

I picked it up and when I took him out of the box that was the first detail I noticed they missed too

I got mine today! I went right when BandN opened. They didn't have them on the shelves but I found one in a box of merchandise they were getting ready to put out so I took it.

I'm gonna be at the registers all night Tuesday so I'm gonna dig around in our system to see if this is true. I won't believe it until I see it for myself.

The regular one already looks great, so this could be amazing!
Thanks for doing the reconnaissance Johnny.

I agree, the GITD Balrog would look sweet. It could definitely be an SDCC exclusive! I'll report back as soon as I have any new information (unless Funko beats me to the punch lol

Opposite here, my wife is HUGE LOTR fan. Likes my POP! collection fine. But when she saw me bring that one home she was like, "Whooo, wow, I may want one!" I made the POP! glow then she (my wife) really lit up!

Yeah. I don't see why it couldn't be done for this one.

Yeah, Invisible Smeagol has been in the system for as long as the Invisible Frodo has been, which is awhile. I think he might be an SDCC Pop though? At least, his release date is around the right time.

Ugh B &N said here back ordered on the invisible frodo for now. I should've gotten when I had the hchance!

Postby **Rgncajun** » Tue Jun 13, 2017 6:35 am

People, invisible frodo is back in stock on their website!

Postby **treswright** » Tue Jun 13, 2017 8:51 am

Ringwraith is up at HT as well.

Glow Balrog is definitely in my system with a pub date of 9/15. Take that last part as you will since those dates don't mean much for Pops.

Postby **Rgncajun** » Tue Jun 13, 2017 9:12 pm

Oh my...... is it a b&n exclusive? I wonder if we can pre order it somewhere else

Defiantly looking forward to this

I picked him up in store. They're arriving!

I'm having a tough time find Sam. He's been harder to find than the chase.

It didn't note anywhere that it was an exclusive, but it still might be. I'd have to wait for a proper announcement or further news on it to see.

Has anyone else had a problem with receiving damaged Pops from Barnes and Noble, or have I just been unlucky? I've had multiple orders arrive in less than stellar condition, and the two invisible Frodos that just came won't even sit right because the bottoms are creased pretty bad.

I went to Barnes and Noble to get mine without preordering. They had two that I saw. Both boxes were creased. I took the one that was in better condition. I didn't take it off the shelf. It was in a box in one of their carts just stuffed with all other toy merchandise. It's obvious why boxes get ruined there because they throw stuff on top like nothing. But, I'll keep going there because they are the cheapest.
