I won't hold my breath for it being good but we'll see. If this is the series I think it is (one that was teased this year) I kinda want that goblin.

I don't think LOTR needs a general. The only figures coming are this 5" BTS AXN Gandalf, and DST's 7", with no real new news about either for quite some time.

For the sake of discussion, cool, Gandalf. But what about all the other characters? If they're going to want LOTR fans to buy in to a new scale and a new line, they have to promise more than just Gandalf.

I think we are close to get a lot of LOTR figures soon since Chris Tolkien died and he was a lot against merchandise. I'm excited. Also, I remember reading somewhere that this new line also has a Aragon, Gollum and an Orc coming.

I love Middle Earth and have always been a bit saddened by the lack of good merchandise for it, but getting excited over a man's death and the beginning of the end of a long standing, quality franchise is disgusting.

You're really assuming a lot, there. It may help the franchise overall very much. It'll help attract that many more new fans, and successful merchandising will show companies that yes, there is interest enough to make it worth investing in.
I honestly don't think a son-of's opinion on the merchandising of something his father created is absolute. He has an opinion, but it's not his work.
But I mean, what's the worst that can happen? We've already had fucking LotR Pops.

Lore wise the game was trash, but as a game solid fun with a lot to do and awesome gameplay even if you do Become OP as you progress.

That being said we don’t know much of anything about 7 of the nine Nazgul so your implying that the mc of the game ending up becoming a nazgul is worse than them having Isildur be one Is a little strange to me because that also makes no sense. Idk if you meant it that way but yeah I do agree it ruins the lore and I wanted to hate it because of how stupidly convoluted they made it tie into the series but it still winds up being an enjoyable game if you think of it like an alternate reality middle earth or that when Frodo wrote the Lord of the Rings in the book of westmarch it was changed they way Bilbo changed the events for his story.
