New Lord of the Rings Pops

[Dsho333]

Great explanation for it . And I didn't even know about the royalty pop either, so that is awesome to know!

Little bit of a newbie here... what's NFT?

Non fungible token aka digital trading card.
Essentially you buy a pack of cards and open it, then you are given NFTs (cards) and certain ones have a redeemable pop with it (legendary and grail cards). If you are able to collect all the base set NFTs (all common, uncommon, rare and epic) you get a royalty pop which is a Freddy as a character from that set.

There is also a new nft/digital section on the board index if you want a more detailed explanation of everything

Great IDE a glow one

[PaleRiderOfDoom]

Do we think there will be some new Pops with the new Amazon series?

If people fall in love with the characters and the shows a hit t&en yes by season 2 there will prolly be some in my assumption.

I have the same thought for the GOT prequels

so then probably not

LOL There is that. My wife was VERY disappointed in the Wheel of Time series.

I've never dived into GOT. The kids were always around. Waiting until they are out of the house, so I have two more years. LOL

I will definitely check that out! Thank you!

I am still LOTR complete

[Hgmaddhatter]

Oh, I hear you . It'd be hard to pass up a flying Nazgul NFT or Eye of Sauron NFT, etc. I feel like the cool this about the NFT for me is just using it digitally to show off, but then having it out for display is easier with the standard printed format

Absolutely! NFT for LOTR would be amazing!

Oh gosh i would be doomed!! I would love to see more expansion of this line, we need so many characters. Not sure if I'm ready to go down the rabbit hole of this in the NFT world.

You are completely right!! How have we not gotten a Mordor Pop Town yet???

[JCFun]

Oh that'd be great! I'd camp out for a Minas Tirith

Well, there is a new Amazon series coming... sky's the limit!

Been needing some new ones from the LOTR line!

Oh noooo I really enjoyed the Wheel of Time series XD Really hoping it gains enough popularity for pops. And the new LotR series. Who needs free wall space, I need more fantasy pops!

My wife is a very "by the book" adaptation person and she was not a fan of it. It was ok, but I'm not the biggest fantasy guy.

That is totally fair and valid, and I've 100% been there. If the series had been made a decade or so ago, before I worked in storytelling-related industries, I think I might have been disappointed in the number of changes, too. Even with that knowledge there were 2 or 3 changes that I wasn't able to understand the "WHY" behind. Totally get it

I'm just so thrilled to see it on screen and it FINALLY got some of my family members interested in the series. Overall, that's a win in my book! ^_^

Yep. I think that is great! We would have so many discussions after each episode where she explained what was wrong with it. LOL It was just nice having her invested in something.

Absolutely, all the Pop Towns!! Bilbos House seems pretty standard so it definitely needs to happen. If they make the keeps ill need a full warhammer style setup

I haven't read the books so no comparison but I enjoyed the wheel of time series.

[JCFun]

I didn't even think about Bilbo's House but that would be wonderful! It wouldn't even have to be that big . And I'm not sure I understand the warhammer reference but I can be wishing for it also for you!

It's a tabletop RPG and I know some people with some sick setups, 3d terrain and full scale armies of minis...

[JCFun]

Oh, that sounds cool! I just checked out the website for Warhammer and it looks pretty awesome! I was a big fan of Age of Empires in the past and I feel like I heard about Warhammer, but didn't know they did a table top version. Feel like there's tons of good pop options there

[WarHmongHer]

Haha very true!! The Te Fiti is also pretty complex, so whatever they are doing it working. It'd be hilarious to get Hobbits flocked, their clothes hair and top of the feet

Yes!!! The feet would be the best!!! Lol. That is a variant i would definitely go for.

At this point I may have to make a custom, the idea is too good to not be real!!1

Please post once you do. Would love to see it. Lol

[hailmary25]

Would absolutely love Bilbo's house. Get on it Funko

I will!! Ive been in a creative mood and I have began brainstorming some customs. I always do them in batches

Man, I give it up to everyone that can do customs. I gotta find me some bargin bin ones to play with. But even then. I have a hard time taking them out of the box. Lol

Yeah I'm always scoping out that clearance area as well. Need to get lucky at a yard sale or trade events. Sometime the local cons have good bargain bins too. I just need to take them oob and start trying. Lol

I never see pops at yard sales, but i do know people sometimes list lots on facebook marketplace, especially OOB

Yeah, I havnt been lucky at yard sales either. I just see ppl post that they found this or that at yard sales. One day I'll find some grails for cheap at a yard sale or a thrift store too. Lol

“THIS IS MY HOUR!”

Finally received the Witch King on Fell Beast after having it on pre-order for almost 8 months!

I really wanted to see if I could combine the stand alone Witch King pop with the flaming sword and slightly more pointed head with the one that comes with the ride to recreate the Witch King vs. Gandalf pose… and I think it turned out pretty well. I personally think they should have released it like this to begin with.

[Rara25]

With the new release of the Earth Day Gandalf the White Pop and a few sodas recently, I hope/guessing this means they have the LOTR license again. With the 20th anniversary for the Fellowship being last December and the next two films in the Trilogy being this and next year, I’d love to see some more pops from this awesome line.

Plus, as 10” Pops weren’t really a thing back when the LOTR pops were originally released back in 2017, I would also love to see some of them released on a bigger scale. For instance…

Treebeard (10inch) - Originally 6inch
Balrog (10inch) - Originally 6inch
Sauron (6inch) - Originally a standard Pop

Would be great to maybe get a 6inch Cave Troll and a 10/18inch Mumakil!

These are some awesome ideas, thanks for sharing

[hailmary25]

Thought I saw somewhere we might be getting a new wave. I hope this is true

[FlinksPoppinPics]

[chaber]

Any new reveals/teasers from SDCC?

[chaber]

Pre-orders are open on Toys On Fire website for a new Bilbo Baggins, Battle Eowyn (regualr and Chase) and 6" Shelob POPs! No pics but seems like a new wave is (finally!) here! I also read that there will be a Gandalf vs Balrog Movie Moments set coming too.

[lunarembrace]

So happy we're (hopefully starting) to get more Lord of the Rings! This Smeagol is perfect.

[johnlester]

Hi! Anyone knows where to get Gandalf vs Balrog Movie Moments PIAB sticker? Thanks!

Smaug should really be an 18inch pop, but I’d be willing to see a 10 or 18-inch Balrog!! Love this line and all the unique characters!!

I'm currently on mobile, so I can't post the images, but here's the link to the blog post

Still waiting on the ones based on Ralph bakshis animated rendition of the book. Funko please hear me.

[sealordbrian]

I love this line up. There are so many characters to explore that I'd love to see a resurgence of this line. Understand if the Pops aren't going to be made, I'd still take an other line. Would love to see an 18" Balrog (but I can't image that being made).
