The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. Games Workshop

Those goblins would work quite well in a Chtulu setting.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Tcho-tcho, or mutant degenerates...

[Za Zjurman]

Yep those goblins could be used for everything but as goblins.
Thinking about Cthulhu, necromunda, Post apoc.

Silly prices though, I'll be waiting for ebay

Same here.

We had all better be careful, though.
Too many waiting for ebay will make the auction market almost as expensive as the original price.

I am in no hurry what soever. I'm currently working on 15+ projects . In time when the price is right I may be tempted. I just am very amazed about the prices though. I'm more them willing to pay dear money for a good (metal) miniature, but 60 euros for The White Counsil is just silly. That is 15 Euros per resin model  .

Even if they don't make it to ebay cheaply I won't lose any sleep over it.  Most of my LotR figure purchases are from other companies these days.  Especially Wargames Factory which scales pretty nicely with the current figures.

I agree with you on the Radagast model, I much prefer the older metal version.

On topic, some interesting things, but nothing that makes me want to venture into Tolkien territory. That LE Radagast looks somewhat awkward in particular. Strange proportions, I guess. The plastic orcs and goblins look rather interesting, and not too expensive in Euro prices for what you get, but I'd rather want to see them in the flesh before making any rash decisions.

I actually like all the stuff, the wargs are so much better, I like the trolls , the only thing I don't like are the prices, but I bet they sell a whole bunch of stuff even at this price!

Who is sculpting these figures?

Who is sculpting these figures?

Michael and Alan Perry sculpted a lot of them, but there are other sculptors involved as well.

I'm going for the limited edition Starter set.
I'll also look out for the trolls on ebay in a few months.

While we are on the subject...
Are you in the market for a radioactively disfigured Mongolian?

An actual Mongolian or a miniature?

[Doomhippie]

Since everything the Perrys do is wonderful, the best there is and also not from this world the only logical conclusionmust be: we all need new glasses. 

I've ordered the hobbit set. Yes, it's overpriced, but I want it nonetheless. I had too many models slip through my fingers that I intended to buy later and never got around doing it. And I think that no matter what the GW starter boxes are usually fun and not the worst bargain out there.

Plus I want to know if I can't make those goblins look a little better by painting them not like GW - they look like the painters have never before painted a model in their life!

The Perry twins would make sense!
But I'm a bit surprised, it doesn't really look like their work.
Mind you... the fleshy lumps aren't a great measure!

Not if it looks like a GW orc.

On second thought....perhaps a radioactively disfigured orc was responsible for the design proces and the painting of the miniatures. That would explain everything. Well, not everything. We are still left we the question as to who actually murdered Robert Kennedy.

Goblins are ideal as mutants, I can see me picking those up and £20 isnt too bad

I agree I will most likely try to get these but not to use as goblins
