If he was late, Funko would not have been able to create this 7″ super-soft, stylized PLUSH! Being in the right place at the right time certainly has its advantages. Unless you happen to run into a Balrog made of fire and shadow and are forced to defend yourself and your Fellowship of friends! You shall not pass….on this Plushie!
Check out ‘The Lord of the Rings’ plush collectibles by Funko! Bred from both elves and men, Orcs are primitive, violent, black-blooded creatures with piranha-like teeth that feed on raw flesh (gross, huh?). They are also weak-minded and lack intelligence, which is why Funko was able to create this cute 7″ super-soft, stylized PLUSH doll! But you better get one fast…if the Orcs find out about this they might want to have us over for dinner.

Although it was ultimately overshadowed by Peter Jackson’s live-action Lord of the Rings trilogy, Ralph Bakshi’s animated adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien’s fantasy classic is not without charms of its own. A target of derision from intolerant fans, this ambitious production is nevertheless a respectably loyal attempt to animate the first half of Tolkien’s trilogy, beginning with the hobbit Frodo’s inheritance of “the One Ring” of power from Bilbo Baggins, and ending with the wizard Gandalf’s triumph over the evil army of orcs. While the dialogue is literate and superbly voiced by a prestigious cast (including John Hurt as Aragorn), Leonard Rosenman’s accomplished score effectively matches the ominous atmosphere that Bakshi’s animation creates and sustains. Bakshi’s lamentable decision to combine traditional cel animation with “rotoscoped” (i.e., meticulously traced) live-action footage is jarringly distracting and aesthetically disastrous, but when judged by its narrative content, this Lord of the Rings deserves more credit than it typically receives. –Jeff Shannon

The Fellowship has divided and now find themselves taking different paths to defeating Sauron and his allies.

Frodo and Sam, led by Gollum, continue their dangerous mission toward the fires of Mount Doom in order to destroy the One Ring.
