Funko's The Hobbit: Battle of Five Armies Pop! Vinyl Figures

Beware the coming of SMAUG...the great and ...adorable...cutimuffins. Yea, Funko can take the most dread foe in all the kingdoms and reduce him to squishable status....except for Sauron. He still looks badass. It's in his contract. Funko increases their mini plastic army with new forces from this December's installment of The Hobbit film series; The Battle of Five Armies. Funko are keeping the full lineup under their hats (if there are to be more released under this film's title), so for now, we bring you Tauriel and a 6 inch super-sized Smaug Pop that can be found with two different eyes; full black or dragon lusting for gold...ish! Also on tap will be Sauron from The Lord of the Rings, most likely due to his fiery appearance in The Desolation of Smaug.

Nasty Mystery Hobbitses

Those nasty, filthy, thieving hobbitses are going to be all over merchandising for the next month or so! We've taken more than a couple of looks at toys celebrating the good, the bad and the gobliny of Middle Earth (HERE and HERE and HERE)and now, we'll get a glimpse of some more plastics to add to your desk armies...

The Vivid Toy Group out of the UK nabbed a Hobbit license and teased "a range of collectables to coincide with the major movie release of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey." Though their website still says "coming soon", the pre-orders have begun to drop..ready or not! Seems as if Vivid will be releasing a line of blind packaged, mini Hobbit figures with characters including Thorin Oakenshield, Grinnah the Goblin, Bofur the Dwarf, another Goblin, Gandalf in two different poses, Tauriel, Gollum, Bolg, Yazneg, Bolbo Baggins in two different poses, Kili the Dwarf, Dwalin the Dwarf, Balin the Dwarf, Fili the Dwarf and Radagast. Each sculpt will come in silver metal, gold and bronze colorways. No word yet on the rarities of each character, but we'll be looking to find out!
