5.0 out of 5 stars Start a new adventure with Thorin Oakenshield December 29, 2012

Durability: 4.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 5.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

When the Lord of the Rings films began in 2001, respected action figure company Toy Biz began releasing some very decent action figures. They continued releasing figures until at least 2005, two years after The Return of the King was released, and ended up releasing around 200 different figures to create perhaps the second most complete movie action figure line ever (Star Wars figures will probably never cease to exist). While the company producing action figures for the Hobbit, The Bridge Direct, has so far not released as ambitious of a line as Toy Biz they certainly seem to have taken a cue from Toy Biz as most of their 6-7 inch scale Hobbit figures fall nicely in line with Toy Biz's figures and have a similar style. Today I am looking at Thorin Oakenshield, the leader of the company of Dwarves central to the adventure undertaken in the Hobbit:

The Facts:
Articulation- peg and post ankles, peg and post knees, ball jointed hips, waist swivel, peg and post shoulders, peg and post elbows, ball jointed head.
Accessories- wooden arm shield, dwarven sword, Orcrist (elvish sword) and sheathe, overcoat.

The positives:

*The sculpting is quite good, especially considering this is a mass market released action figure. The resemblance to the film character is quite well done and Thorin's outfit is covered with small details: The fur of his coat, the scales of his armor, and the pattern on his tunic all stand out.

*While Thorin is a small stout figure, he does have a good bit of well thought out articulation. His arms allow for a variety of poses (although wrist swivels would have been nice) and his legs do allow you to get him in a few good stances.

*The accessories are excellent. Orcrist and Thorin's dwarven sword are both quite different in their sculpting and their elvish and dwarvish styling is easily visible. Both weapons feature great sculpting for the scale, a number of paint applications, and are neither overly brittle or too soft and gummy. They fit easily in their sheathes (the dwarvish sword has a sheathe hanging from Thorin's belt). The oak shield on Thorin's arm stays on securely and looks appropriately woody.

The negatives:

*Just because of Thorin's size and the fact that he is wearing a tunic and a coat, some of his joints (mostly his hips and waist) don't really leave much room for a wide range of articulation.

Overall: I'm very happy with the way Thorin turned out. He is a great figure on his own but still manages too look at home next to Toy Biz's older Lord of the Rings figures, which is where I imagine many a collector will place him. He stands just a bit taller than Gimli in that line, if you are curious. But Thorin was a pretty big guy, so that works just fine for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars A collector of the toy biz lotr figures. December 29, 2012

I was pretty excited to see that the bridge direct were releasing hobbit figures around the same size as the toybiz figures from the lotr trilogy, as I have a pretty massive collection. Unfortunately, they only released I believe 6 figures at the moment, and no they are not as nice looking as the lotr figures but are definitely close. Thorin looks even better in person than in the picture, and is a worthy addition to any collection. I will say that maybe 10 bucks would be a more fair price but oh well. It is definitely a nice figure. Very sturdy, and very detailed. I love it.

I love this action figure! He's great!! Thorin Oakenshield would be proud! He comes with swords and shield. I miss the battle axe but most people wouldn't notice that. I will buy from Bridge Direct again!
