Not if it looks like a GW orc.
He does a bit....  :?
Maybe put a bag over his head?

Exactly what I was thinking.

Tcho-tcho, or mutant degenerates...

That's the name I was looking for, the Tcho-tcho. It's like we have one brain between the two of us! ;)

I don't know about you fellas;

But I'm just enthralled by the deranged little goblin feckers.

They are interesting... but they look more like Morlocks to me than goblins.  I like the dwarf figures a lot.

I honestly think, that the paint job is leading to all the morlock comparisons.

As I said, I am curious to see if I can do them differently and hopefully better. And how they will look like if you mix them with the "original" Moria goblins.

All I can say is I like them  :D. I can see those goblins as the Martense family from Lovecraft´s "The lurking fear", http://www.hplovecraft.com/writings/texts/fiction/lf.asp.

I highly doubt I'll be able to keep myself from buying this. I'm trying to take it one day at a time, but I think I'll be off the wagon in about 24-48 hours from now...

And i hadn't purchased a GW figure since they released the Corsairs of Umbar plastic set back in 2009... Dammit! :)

Successfully maintaining my goal of never knowingly buying a GW miniature or a GW set of rules.

Gracias,

Sad to see that GW brought out the game before the movie. With this in mind the movie experience will be not as good as I will always be reminded of the GW rip off (e.g. $125 for 4 white council figures) This whole "let's cash in on some movie franchise" is getting worse and worse
