Thank you for providing me with even more nightmares Lalwende.

But where's his shellsuit? Chav Gollum would also come complete with several chunky gold rings, to replace that other ring he lost...

Esgallhugwen · 12-19-2004, 08:29 PM

Of Course its Grade A syrup, its from an Ent, its practically gold!

Coming Soon to a Toy Store near you,

Grond- Hammer of the Underworld™: half wolf, half battering ram, a whole lotta flaming terrorizing action!

Complete with kerosine and a lighter that looks like an orc.

Disclaimer: Mordor Inc. is not responsible for any destruction caused by Grond- Hammer of the Underworld™ such as household devastation, human eradication and all-in-all annihilation of everything you hold dear.
Another Disclaimer: fumes of Kerosine should not be inhaled or ingested in any way, fingers should not be stuck into Grond- Hammer of the Underworld's™ mouth while flames are ignited.
Yet another Disclaimer: In fact its probably best not to invest in this item for the sake of your own life because the sheer fear that Grond- Hammer of the Underworld™ is capable of instilling in people in the general vicinity would cause the downfall of Mankind.

Crying Sam, Frodo, Merry, and Pippin dolls. Recreate many scenes from the movie, such as The Departure at Grey Havens and Frodo rejects Sam and Pippin listens to Gandalf's speech and Pippin sings for Denethor and Merry feels hungry and others!

It makes you wonder what the Ring would be like. Maybe a large sovereign with an England flag on it - £19.99 from Argos. And instead of fighting with Deagol after a day's fishing, he would attack him after a burnout meet on the local Asda carpark on a Saturday night... Poor Gollum, being associated with that!

New Gimli and Legolas Electric Toothbrushes, fighting the evil Orcivitis one tooth at a time...

I want one of those! He should come complete with a "Faramir" (TM) who he could toss in first. Warning: Be sure to have a "Pippin " (TM) and "Gandalf" (TM) at hand at all times. *winks*

Neurion · 01-18-2005, 12:02 PM

How about this:

Tolkien-Accurate Gondorian Knight with Nigh-On Impenetrable Armour and Coldly-And-Methodicaly-Ripping-The-Enemy-To-Shreds Action! Also includes Hapless Orc Warrior accessory with Fleeing-And-Dying Action!

Esgallhugwen · 01-18-2005, 04:38 PM

You have to love any kind of toy that has fleeing and dying action.

The new growing hair Legolas, with the push of a button watch his hair grow. Also comes complete with a Legolas wig, thats right yout too can share the Elven Princes luxurious blonde hair.

*Warning* Company not responsible for curious children getting their fingers stuck in Legolas's head which will more then likely result in amputation.

(Hey, I had to make it dangerous)

Lyta_Underhill · 01-18-2005, 08:39 PM

For all you Tickle Me Ulmo fans,yes, it has truly been done. See here: Tickle Me Ulmo

Another good one: The Foaming Frodo action figure, comes with giant spider and mouth tube stuffed with baking soda--add vinegar for creating the patented "foam at the mouth" action. Believe it or not, my birthday cake this past year was a "Foaming Frodo" cake, with a cream cheese rendering of Fro-lijah complete with popping eyes (not rolling)

a tube and baking soda into which vinegar was poured. Jolly good, eh?

Or in really bad taste. The cake was really good, I'll tell you!

Cheers!
Lyta

P.S. Here's a picture, just to prove it!

Estelyn Telcontar · 01-19-2005, 02:19 AM

Lyta, that cake is absolutely hilarious! Especially since that foaming-at-the-mouth scene is one I find more funny than scary... Do you have a friend or family member who came up with that wonderful cake decorating idea, or was it your own?

Lalwendë · 01-19-2005, 05:44 AM

Lyta - how does the whole vinegar thing work? Didn't your cake taste of it? I'm intrigued now and have to know!

You really can buy a Legolas/Bloom wig. And you can also buy a Gandalf 'kit' with the wig and beard, and I'm sure I saw an 'Aragorn kit' somewhere. I've never yet seen any Saruman fingernails though, nor a set of fake 'Gollum teeth'.

I have seen Gollum socks though.

Lyta_Underhill · 01-19-2005, 10:23 AM

Actually, the Foaming Frodo action figure was a running joke that both me and my husband came up with, and he decided on his own to translate it into a cake for my birthday! He also chivalrously declared he would eat the portion covered with the 'foam,' as we had no actual vinegar in the house but had to use pickle juice! (thus the slightly yellow color that makes it look a bit worse in the photo!) He used so little that it didn't change the taste all that much, really, since most of it wiped off. Also having a rich chocolate cake and heavy cream cheese icing helped overwhelm any odd taste from the 'foam.'

The vinegar had to be added at performance time, but the baking soda was stuffed into the premade hole in the Frodo cake's mouth and when the two came together, it was quite theatrical, as the effect was much like Alka-Seltzer in water, creating a lot of CO2 very quickly! Perhaps this year, I should have a Mount Doom cake!

Cheers,
Lyta

I know that already, but does the wig come with a patented Legolas hair-grow doll? Hmmmmm. I thought so

I used to have one of those dolls except either I or someone else cut the hair so she sort of had a mullet, buzzed look going. That would be hilarious.

And now for a limited time your Hair Growing Legolas™ comes free with pretty pink and purple bows for your fashion convenience and fashion fun.

Elvish cat walk sold separately.
