Out soon.
Azog is IIRC £25 and comes both on foot and mounted, the stunties are ... errr..  .. about £12 each.

Can't wait to spend 20 bucks each on dwarves whose names I don't even recall!
What were their names again...?

Well, Azog is great in both versions as is the second dwarf.
The prices? What prices? Shiny!

I quite dig the Azog model, although the tops of his boots looks a little odd on the unmounted version ?
Might just be the angle & piccy etc etc though.

Dwalin, Balin and Thorin. Mounted Azog looks great.
Scary prices, of course. I wonder how much of the $$$ is going to New Line.

I actually really quite like the models, they're nothing utterly amazing but they aren't bad at all. With those prices though, I'll never touch them, said prices are quite scary even by GW standards in my experience...*
*Which is not that much, in case you hadn't guessed ;P

Looks like they tried to fit him a pair of boots a few sizes too small.

Azog on his warg (if that is how it is spelt) might a good t-wolf lord base for anyone not taken by the current GW t-wolf lord.

I think the dwarfs look great and Azog mounted looks good. Not impressed with the Azog paint job or the weird pose of the unmounted version. Prices are...well...just wow.....

Like everyone has being saying before me, great minis and very true to the movie, but darn those prices! You would think GW had got the message by now seeing as they still have copies of the LE starter set sitting around!

Azog looks weird (and seems to have no knees). I wonder how much of that is down to the sculptor and how much is down to the source material (I think Azog looks terrible on screen). the other models are so-so.
Not that I've got a use for any of them, mind.

“Good people are quick to help others in need, without hesitation or requiring proof the need is genuine. The wicked will believe they are fighting for good, but when others are in need they’ll be reluctant to help, withholding compassion until they see proof of that need. And yet Evil is quick to condemn, vilify and attack. For Evil, proof isn’t needed to bring harm, only hatred and a belief in the cause.” |

£12 quid for 1 Dwarf - really???
Glad I have no interest in the Hobbit/LoTR at all.
Is it just me, or does the bottom Dwarf (in blue jacket) look like it wants to be a baton twirler in a parade?

Are those boots on the unmounted stumpy orc using Tardis tech? They're smaller than the legs that go into them. Mediocre sculpts, inflated price. No surprise here.
