5.0 out of 5 stars The Nine sets out from Rivendell, to your home!, February 13, 2004

This review is from: Lord of the Rings Fellowship of the Ring 9-piece Collector Set (Toy)

Another great set in a series that is garnering fame across the toy world, PlayAlong's Fellowship of the 9 set is a fabulous addition to their already outstanding line. These figures and bases recreate a scene from the movie, where Gandalf the Grey leads his fellowship out of Rivendell to destroy the Ring of Power. But that is just a facet of the fun. Like all of their line, these great sculpts are poseable, and come with removable weapons and acoutrement.

Again, I caution those with small children, to know your child before getting this set, as the small array of knives, swords, hat, etc. may be too small and pointed for younger hands. Also, some of the thinner items such as the swords and handles are of a stiffer plastic making them a bit fragile.

I have noted that PlayAlong must be adding to the figures poseability. Unlike their earlier versions, which have a modicum of arm and waist movement, these exceptional figures of the nine have poseable heads, arms, elbows, legs, and waists, on many.

Gandalf the Grey comes with his noble staff and pointy hat, as well as Glamdring, his sword. Merry and Pippin come with their gift of Elven swords from Aragorn. Frodo as well. Samwise Gamgee shoulders his burden of tackle and cooking pan, exquisitely sculpted onto his pack. His bastion, Bill the Pony by his side laden with provisions. Boromir strides with his shield on his back and his horn at his side, he comes with his sword. The gruff and gregarious Gimli carries a brace of axes at his waist, and comes with a doble bladed ax for his hands. The noble Aragorn shoulders a removable acoutrement of an unstrung bow, rope, closed quiver and bedroll, as well as his sword. Lastly the lithe Legolas shoulders his bow, quiver, and Elven knives, but also comes with two additional knives that can be placed in his hand.

The bases are form fit like a puzzle piece to provide an unbroken line of adventurers set out to save Middle Earth from the destruction of Sauron. For other adventures, as I have noted with the line, since the weapons are removeable, and these sculpts are nonconfrontational, the play and enjoyment is limited only by one's imagination. Take any number of the castle playsets that abound and you, your children, or your friends can create hours of humorous fun, either inspired from the films, or from your own mind.

These toys are perhaps one of the greatest lines of movie inspired toys to date. Many of us have waited a lifetime for such, and they also go well with some of the toys we may have gathering dust in the attic. I recently placed my figures next to an older larger Dragon from the Dragonheart movie line of toys, and the first thought that came to mind was.....Smaug!

You will greatly enjoy this set.

This review is from: Lord of the Rings Fellowship of the Ring 9-piece Collector Set (Toy)

The 9 piece set was disappointing when i first got it and saw it up close. I did not know that the action figures were going to be that small. Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, etc. are a little taller than 2 inches while the hobbits are about 1.5 inches tall. Well that wouldn't have bothered me that much if the painting on the faces of the figures was well done but it wasn't. Half of Frodo's face looks disfigured and he and the rest of the figures are not very bendable or posable.
Save your money for something better and don't buy this. I'm probably going to return mine.
Well i hope this review helps someone out.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Fellowship of the Ring (with Bill the pony ) 10 set, March 12, 2004

= Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars  = Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars  = Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Lord of the Rings Fellowship of the Ring 9-piece Collector Set (Toy)

This is such a great set that any Lord of the Rings fan should purchase it. It has ten figures with many weapons. These figures include Gandalf the Grey, Frodo Baggins, Boromier, Merry, Pippin, Gimli, Sam, Legolas, Aragon, and Bill the Pony. They all come with their weapons and can be removed off their stands. The stands fit together to show how they travel. Some of their weapons are Aragons' sword,Legolas and his elven knifes, Frodos' sword (named sting), and Gimli with his double bladed axe. The figures are very detailed with their cloaks (that are not able to be taken off them) and Aragon and Sam have luggage on their cloakes. Bill carries much of the fellowships luggage. There are only two small things that I don't like. One of them is Legolas has deadly accuracy with his elven bow but in this set it is slung over his shoulder and cannot be removed. The other thing is that Sam has his hobbit sword but cannot be put in his hand. But everthing else is just fine. It is one of the best set that I have seen. Like I said before, any Lord of the Rings fan should by this right now!
