Hobbit - 6" Action Figures Can't Post

Hello Ringers,

When LOTR came around, I was a bit of a uber-geek when it came to the 6" action figures. I collected every single one of them (some of which are very hard to get a hold of now). I've got the entire collection along with all of the 6" Hobbit action figures they've released.

Since it seems like Bridge Direct completely dropped the ball with this line and are not producing any further figures beyond the Smaug figure. I think it's safe to say their line is dead.

My question though, for people who might know about the action figure business, what are the odds of the Hobbit line being picked up by another company like NECA or Funko (who produces solid Game of Thrones figures)? Is there a chance of that? Any rumors on the internet? Or is this line dead?

I'd love more action figures for the Hobbit films since there are dozens and dozens of characters and beautiful armor to choose from.

NECA has the rights to make Hobbit figures [In reply to] Can't Post

I asked them on Twitter a while back if we'd see any more (they made a Bilbo figure), and was told there probably won't be any this year.

That's a bummer... [In reply to] Can't Post

I own their Bilbo figure and he sits well amongst their giant LOTR figures. That's a scale I'd love to collect. The detail and paint job is incredible. I can imagine owning all of the Company in that scale.

Radagast and Azog would be quite incredible too. Although Azog would need to be 24-25 inches tall, haha.

Action figures 6" [In reply to] Can't Post

Hi, im from mexico... the figures in 6 inches they are very cool,I had to pay a lot of money to bring the figures from the USA, I want the rest of the dwarves in this scale...but...TBD failure to make this action figures, no take to us in consideration,the fans, the really fans...everybody trusted in them. In what were they thinking? No figures when the movie's release? They say "no money from the retailers, no figures for the fans" This is so very sad, I´m feel so angry! So my collection is incomplete! someone to do something please!
PS. Sorry for my english :S
