No, their feet are yellow in the film. Pretty much everything other than the dwarves has had questionable colour choices but I expect these were painted before the painters had seen the film (although the eagles were at the end of the LotR trilogy). It's the same with the trolls. THere's a pre production image of them with similar coloured skin as the GW painters have used but in the film they seem closer to the colour of the cave troll in The Fellowship of the Ring. Admittedly that scene is by firelight but thats how I interpreted them.
For me the eagle are ok but I will be interested to see how the wood elf or high elf eagles look as the Warhammer stuff tend to be a bit more stylised. I'm still unsure about the wargs as they seem bulkier in the film but then I guess that's compared to Dwarves. I'm curious about how the white warg and Azog will look as his warg seemed more like a cross between a tiger and a wolf.

Precisely, but unless the kit is different from other LOTR kits apart from maybe theEnt and Troll, then the chances are that the kit will offer few options.

Apparently the eagle leader is bigger than the other two, I'd buy it just because it'll look different than the first two and their variants.

Yep.
And I was so excited about them 
Just to point out how bad the pricing is over here, the foot and mounted finecast Elrond with the terrible faces are $70, this is a much nicer 75mm Elrond http://www.knightmodels.com/product.php?id_product=137 that, once converted, is $71au

I don't get their pricing - £20 for 12 armoured dwarves sounds about right, £12 for Finecast Radagast, sounds about right but £25 for the Goblin King and £30 for 6 knights is just beyond ridiculous!

$30 a box...$5 a model
* Knights of Minus Tirith (plastic)
* Riders of Rohan (plastic)
* Warg Riders (plastic)
* Haradrim Raiders (plastic)
$38 a box...$6.33 a model
* Knights of Lothlorien (Galadhrim Knights) (plastic)
* Easterling Kataphrakts (metal?)
* Morgul Knights (plastic)
$50 a box...$8.30 a model
* Khandish Horsemen (metal?)
* Serpent Riders (metal?)
* Knights of Rivendell (plastic)
Can't figure out the pricing scheme either...
And I now fondly remember the good old days when Riders, Rohen, and Wargs were $20 and $25 a box.

They might not have been allowed to put rules/references to "The Men of Dale" into the book on the grounds of "Spoilers".

I'd really like the Radagast because he was one of my favourite characters in the film, but I'm not buying Finecast. No way at all, even if I could stomach paying £12 for a single 28mm figure, it would have to be metal.
I like the set of 'Grim Hammers' Dwarves. Although they don't look quite as nice as when I saw the first photos of them, so I'm not sure now. Still, I'm a bit disappointed that as they are LotR infantry, it'll be a single sprue in the box. Which isn't very satisfying for £20. When LotR first came out, about 10 years ago admittedly, you got two sprues of 12 men, totalling 24, in a box for £12, now it's half that content for £20.
When this Hobbit fad passes I'll keep my eye open at wargames shows, LotR stuff has been pretty easy to pick up cheap at events I've been to.
