New T-Shirts Reveal Some New Characters
Dark Jackal has posted a number of Hobbit film T-shirts over at his site www.thorinoakenshield.net.

While most of them feature dwarves, Bilbo, Gandalf, and pictures of Elrond and Radagast that we have already seen, check out the goblin-related ones near the end.

We have new shots of the Goblin King (who looks better here than in the trailer, naturally, as he's alive...), Fimbul the Hunter, some other nameless goblins, and some wargs (only one of which seems to be a new photo/concept art).

My only question is: When does DJ find the time? Smile

Nice find DJ and SA :-)
The Great Goblin looks great in that t-shirt. I wonder what animal skull he has on his staff?

I agree about the Great Goblin...
... he looks so much better there than in the trailer. Hmm... it seems to me that I'm finding a few things looking good in the still images but not so good in motion Crazy

The Warg at the top of the shirt looks awesome and terrifying.
I hope the majority of the wargs look like him OR, if not, that the few who do look like him get the most screen time and close ups.

Horrible
In the literal sense of the word! I'm confused, though; these designs look rather different from (and superior to) the ones that were featured in the previews and action figures. Fimbul in particular looks completely different from what I've seen before (which was basically Grishnakh redux). With any luck, the final product will be closer to this.

Though, I looked at this picture in the annual/almanac, and it's not that bad. Still slightly creepy though.

None of those designs seemed immensely revealing given everything we've seen this week. A shame the pics aren't larger. I don't know whether or not to trust things like the wargs anymore as far as film spoilers go.

The wolves look like the dogs/wolves from nazi zombies *in the face*- the side game in call of duty . Very similar - finally figured out where i had seen them before!

Wargs
This is the best view of the wargs that I have seen. They look really scary here. The reflective eyes add to the spookiness. Thanks for pointing these out.

Great find
But it's funny sometimes when there is so much random merchandise with 'The Hobbit' on it (like earlier mentioned bedclothes). I can't help but wonder if Tolkien would have liked to wear Hobbit shirts and have a Hobbit blanket draped over his head. Smile

Right
And concept art often looks a lot better than the final designs.

I love the concept art for the Star Wars prequels, for example, and generally hated the look of all three films...

There are hints
that the Warg that leads the attack near Moria in FotR is a werewolf.

Sauron himself was a werewolf when he was Morgoth's sidekick.

Tolkien seems to have werewolves pegged as a form of fallen Maia, like balrogs, rather than human skin changers. He never calls Beorn a werebear.

Details on the Radagast shirt
Looking closely at the green shirt with Radagast in the forest, notice there are two butterflies in the image. Is this a nod to the butterflies in mirkwood, or to the moth from LOTR, or is it just coincidental promo artwork? Also, is that a bird (or other animal) on his shoulder, and perhaps Rhosgobel in the background?

Excellent spot!
The butterflies Bilbo sees are black emperors. And if I'm not mistaken, these are black-and-yellow emperors?

If this is the same picture of Radagast as in the calender, then it is an owl.
