Wow, just like the book.And they're all white. And male. Hmmmmm.......
Oh god. Sorry for your troubles.My cousin genuinely refuses to give LOTR a chance for that exact reason.
Yes, she’s a Gen Z vegan with they/them friends. How could you tell?!!

I wouldn't worry too much, though. Only a matter of time before Disney gobbles up that IP, and once they do, all will be made right.
As a fan of the Hobbit films, I'm looking forward to the 13 Ninja Dwarves and the female Bilbo (now Bella) with the pink hair and pierced nose.![]()

Not even Gollum. Lol he still has strandsWhy is it ironic? They all make sense to have rooted hair.. Nobody in the fellowship is bald...
totally agree Gaz.Really looking forward to this release as my first Inart.
Watched the second film recently when I was up North and hanging out my ass, haven't seen it since I was going from Primary to High School, and Jesus... these films hold up incredibly well. I have memorised a lot of moment from it, and getting goosebumps every 10 mins or so. It's nice to have a film trilogy like this with so much pure love and joy poured into it that it stands the test of time - and watching anew and noticing great story parallels of characters like Eomer being cast from Rohan and making his glorious return at Helms Deep and Faramir cast out and trying desperately to please his father.
Anyway... I had forgotten how much I love these films, and the incredible proto of Aragorn made me pre-order Gandalf luckily when Kit had more slots open long after they'd closed.
It's great to see as much love and joy poured into these characters from Inart as much as the team and crew had done with the films.
I'll wait to get this in-hand first before I gush over Inarts achievements, but it's very exciting being able to get these characters with as much detail and accuracy to represent these timeless characters.
On the flip side, and I'm for more seats at the table etc. in every aspect of life. But Jesus, some seats need to be turned away, no matter who you are, if you're just not good at your job. Watching just the second film again is a real eye-opener into how much crap is coming out of film and TV in a broad sense (there's a lot of great coming out, if not phenomenal also), but the amount of IP with absolutely any Joe Blogs working on them with no joy or soul is astounding.
I hope it does, as I don't appreciate all of Jackson's approach to the characters.totally agree Gaz.
I don't watch much these days,obviously Star Wars,but as far as horror,I'm not a fan,BUT,I did watch the Haunting of Hill House,and THAT was a truly awesome series on Netflix.
Love the mindf#ck aspect it gave,and the twists and turns.
The LOTR trilogy hopefully never gets remade.
It still stands the test of time,similiar to the Holy Trinity of Star Wars for me.
You could wait it out until it's released to see if OSK, Giantoy or any other retailer has some stock left over. There's bound to be cancellationsSo I’m a huge procrastinator and was about to just PO with pop collectibles and it’s sold out.(was in stock a few days ago)
So is it just eBay for me at this point?
Sugo toys in Australia has both the rooted and sculpted back up for PO.So I’m a huge procrastinator and was about to just PO with pop collectibles and it’s sold out.(was in stock a few days ago)

Welcome to my world! Seriously though, I know the feeling. It's been the biggest bane of my life that I keep putting things off and then pay the price for it. I wish you well in getting this figure. I'm sure you will pick him up as a cancellation or as a PO as been mentioned.So I’m a huge procrastinator and was about to just PO with pop collectibles and it’s sold out.(was in stock a few days ago)

There's definitely a fine line one has to walk when adapting a novel. It's not easy. The fact that Jackson was able to pull off LOTR is a little miracle, honestly. Tolkien's original vision adapted word for word just wouldn't work on screen, IMO. Jackson kept everything that was essential to the story and excised the rest. Preserving the essence of the story is the most important part. If WB is going to make more Middle-earth films, they need to adapt the Silmarillion stories. Lots of untapped potential there. I had high hopes for Rings of Power, but it felt "thin", like butter scraped over too much bread.This is off topic, but it's fascinating to see where people draw their line on adaptations and purism. Particularly when it's changes to a novel vs changes to a comparatively loose set of characters and story snippets.
