Man looks like I know what case I'll be getting can't wait for these to drop.

Postby **PopNoggles** » Thu Nov 30, 2017 1:04 pm

These are seriously amazing! Will definitely be getting the cases for these!

Anyone else think it’s a little odd to have a gold Gimli though? He’s never gold like that lol

Postby **emoagogo** » Thu Nov 30, 2017 1:06 pm

These look so freaking adorable I already know Im going to try to get as many as I can!! They look so good!!

Postby **RogueSolo** » Thu Nov 30, 2017 1:14 pm

These look great! The movies were a big part of my young adult life, so I can't wait to get started with these!

He's never gold but them dwarves are all about Gold, especially him. Isn't he the cheap penny pincher? So it sorta works. I dont' hate it.

They're all pretty cool but Sauron looks AMAZING as a Mini. Definitely want that one.

Postby **hailmary25** » Thu Nov 30, 2017 1:30 pm

These are the best looking Mini's in awhile. Thank god they do not look like the cutsey HP/Disney ones or even the Stranger Things one. These look amazing and Funko please please no 1/6's or any of that nonsense PLEASE

Postby **imdustin6** » Thu Nov 30, 2017 1:31 pm

These look really cool. Hoping to scoop up a few of these when they drop....really dig that Sauron and witch king, but who am I kidding? They all are awesome

That is true they are all about them shinies! I don’t hate it either just not sure why they did it heh. I’m hoping that’s a 1/72 so I don’t have to stress about getting it. Otherwise all of the others I will definitely need to get. They are seriously amazing!

If they do this I bet we get more waves of them down the line... here’s to hoping we get a Smaug mm! (And I could see a gold Smaug too! Haha)

Im obsessed with the Witch King, I cant stop looking. WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.

That Witch King and Sauron look amazing!! (Understatement)

And could you imagine Smaug variants? Regular, Gold... open wings?? Ooo and of course we’ll need a Balrog.. maybe even Shadowfax too? Ok... now I’m just making myself excited haha

Postby **Imagery** » Thu Nov 30, 2017 3:24 pm

Completed the first set of LOTR Pops, so will definitely need to get those. Really like the minis too, but don't know if I want to go down that path too even if some of them (ahem, Witch King) do look awesome

Postby **philipali** » Thu Nov 30, 2017 3:57 pm

with a lot of exclusives from different stores... this is a wallet buster

Postby **Mr Yac** » Thu Nov 30, 2017 4:05 pm

Sauron and the Wraith I will need for sure. and I would kind of love a Shadow of Mordor with Talion, Celebrimbor, a half Tal/Cel "bright Lord" hybrid and of course Ratbag.

Postby **TheBoilerman** » Thu Nov 30, 2017 4:24 pm

At first I thought "this is an insta-case-buy". Then I reallized " hmmm, this is actually a whole-set-buy".

Now, which case to start with....

Postby **synergy56** » Thu Nov 30, 2017 4:35 pm

These are so great! A little sad there are no Boromir, Merry and Pippin to make the Fellowship, but love all the ones they did include. So excited for a Galadriel!! So...I couldn't help but notice that there are only 12 commons pictured. Could that possibly (please, please, please) mean that these are all 1/12?!!! [-o<

Postby **MiniDeadpool** » Thu Nov 30, 2017 5:07 pm

might try to get the ones from hot topic for a chance at the Eowyn

Look at the side of display box and the caption. 3 missing, 3 exclusives that they forgot to announce? <---Good eye, J.

"Mystery Mini: The Lord of the Rings

Unwrap the blind bags to find Frodo, Samwise,
Merry & Pippin, Aragorn, Gollum, Saruman,
Galadriel, and many more!

Collect them all this winter!"

That could be dangerous if so! These are very tempting as it is. They are so... precious.

Well now I am happy and bummed all at the same time! Super happy for the three to complete the fellowship, but bummed it's going to be harder to find some since they won't be all 1/12. Mostly still excited though because...LOTR minis!!! :cheers:

Postby **FredKruger** » Thu Nov 30, 2017 5:38 pm

Appears to be all 1/12. Keep it up funko!!! More layouts!!

Postby **MaxGoof** » Thu Nov 30, 2017 6:18 pm

Merry & Pippin had better be coming. No Merry & Pippin to complete the Fellowship, no purchase from me.

Postby **Grex54** » Thu Nov 30, 2017 6:34 pm

I'm really excited about these, definitely going to try and get them all.

Good question

Postby **synergy56** » Thu Nov 30, 2017 8:50 pm

Worst case scenario is Merry, Pippin and Boromir are Walmart or Walgreens exclusives. I wouldn't mind Gamestop. But hey, if those 3 are exclusives then the dream of a case of 1/12's is still alive :cheers:

Postby **ghostrye** » Fri Dec 01, 2017 2:47 am

Wow! Great ratios and a solid base of characters without any major omissions. Well done!

That was my fear, that they'd be in the Disney penguin pose or they'd look like the Stranger Things ones (which are the worst looking minis IMO). I'm pleased with how these look. Very similar to the GoT ones.

Postby **GetLostYouPsycho** » Fri Dec 01, 2017 9:41 am

I'm a huge LOTR fan so these will all be mine. Now I'm hoping for PSH, too.

Postby **stacyinil** » Fri Dec 01, 2017 10:29 am

I'm going to order a regular case from Big Bad Toy Store and then I think I'll just need to resort to buying the ones I need rather than taking the chance--looking at my multiples of Sorting Hats and Severus Snapes.

This is the first set to make me perk up my ears since Horror 3, but if these have some of the insane half-the-case-is-one-thing ratios some of the recent cases have, I'm not even going to try. It's too depressing to think of having a shelf with a Frodo, an Arwen, and 18 Gimlis, etc. It would be really neat though if the standard set was just 1/12 across the board, even though we all know the odds of that are slim.
