I would be very surprised if we see anything new for NYCC, but has anyone seen the DST booth?
DST had a panel this afternoon, too. I haven't seen anything from their booth or panel, yet.
Some pics are up over at ToyArk.
Wait...is Saruman no longer coming with the stand for the Palantir?? It wasn't shown in the display. That would really bum me out.

last we heard it was still up in the air.
looks like MSWord was there to better display the accessories 😛 I would be slightly disappointed if Merry and Pippin don’t have swords, but I’m happy with the firework and the pints.
Pretty sure both Merry and Pippen come with swords, not sure how many I saw in the box, but i opted not to show just one.
Pretty sure the palantir holder is not happening.

Ugh...that's a bummer. Please, pass along to the powers that be: accessory sets. Palantir holder, capes, sheaths, etc.

Such a shame, guess i'm gonna have to dig my old ToyBiz one out of the attic!
The Cave Troll is LIVE!
Looks to have no posability in the arms anymore 😓
$125 seems reasonable, I suppose...
Hopefully, will look quite intimidating on the shelf 👍

I guess it will mark my first foray into statue collecting!
Zach, any chance of getting pictures of Moria goblins next to the troll?
Ordered the Cave Troll from Amazon myself. I'm excited to have it, honestly. It looks good, and it'll make a nice centerpiece for the Fellowship to surround on the shelf. Especially if it paves the way for other bigger statues, I'll take it!
Goblins are on clearance for £17 near me, still a lot, but having more surrounding the Troll is tempting...
@ineffable_force It never had articulation in the arms. If you saw seams, they were just prototype seams from assembly.
We put it next to the figures at NYCC 2023, video below (go to 2:26), plus a pic from Toy Fair. Looks nice and big. As soon as I get one for my figures to fight, I'll post pictures.
Cave troll price is pretty reasonable. I’ll be picking one up, just have to figure out where to put it…
We're talking about Merry and Pippin now, it may be a little more expensive than originally planned (two figures) but we'll add some extra accessories to make it worth everyone's while.
We'll offer them and Gandalf the White in late November.
