First look at “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” figures

I’d grown accustomed to the nice December treat of the next chapter of “The Lord of The Rings” saga and every December since 2003’s “The Return of The King,” I’d missed hearing that familiar theme and anxiously awaiting what Peter Jackson had in store for me over the course of the next two-and-a-half hours.

Fortunately, Jackson is returning to Middle Earth with the LOTR prequel, “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey,” which opens Dec. 14 and I can’t wait for it.

The fine folks at The Bridge Direct, Inc. are handling the figures on this outing and sent along some images of what you can expect from their figures later this fall. Thankfully have included a 6″ scale for those of you (like me) who want to add to their existing Toy Biz collection from the previous three Middle Earth films.
