If you are a fan of Lord of the Rings collectibles and fine art, you’ll want to jump over to SideshowCollectibles.com tonight. With the launch of their latest newsletter they have added Funko’s LOTR plush dolls, including Legolas, Gandalf, Frodo and a Moria Orc. Besides being insanely cute, they are also very affordable at only $9.99 a piece. Sideshow has also begun a relationship with renown LOTR artist Ted Nasmith to offer some of his masterpieces. The first two offerings are custom framed versions of ‘The Wrath of the Ents‘ and ‘Eowyn and the Nazgul.’ And if that wasn’t enough LOTR to whet your collecting whistle, they’ve also added the Hobbit themed Taverncraft ‘Smaug the Magnificent‘ mugs which we posted about earlier this week. Oh yea, they’ve also teased a new line of LOTR statues, starting out with everyone’s favorite Ranger!

Sideshow Collectibles is now shipping the ‘Battle of the Last Alliance’ Sauron vs. Numenorean Army Diorama. As the name implies, the dynamic diorama features the Dark Lord Sauron swinging his mace as the valiant Numenorean Army goes flying. Having just received this piece myself, I must say, the description does not do justice for the scale and action contained within in it. If you have any interest in the Last Alliance battle sequence from Fellowship of the Ring, this piece perfectly captures one of the more dramatic moments. Sideshow is also hosting their annual Fantacular where you can get a free promo item with the purchase of instock collectibles. Check it all out at SideshowCollectibles.com. If you do end up owning this piece, please take a moment to share your thoughts in our forum! [Battle of Last Alliance Diorama] [Sideshow Fantacular]
