Pre-sales for The Hobbit figures starting today

Middle-earth fans, get clicking- online retailers are starting to take pre-orders today on The Bridge Direct's new series of excellent looking The Hobbit action figures.

You'll be able to order the figures all through the month of September, but if I were you I'd get on it as soon as you can if you want some because these little guys look absolutely fantastic. 

Made in both the 3.75" and 6" scale, The Hobbit figures carry through the look of the Lord of the Rings films as well as the upcoming Hobbit trilogy really well. 

They look great in person too. I had the pleasure of seeing 'em up close at the SDCC and The Bridge Direct really blew me away with the quality of the sculpts and paint apps. I don't know what the finished products might look like, but if the show samples were anything to go by, I know this is one Rings fan that's gonna be very, very, happy.

Now that you know what's on tap, here's where you can get 'em:

Just a quick note here- I saw the figs on Amazon, but didn't notice the pre-orders listed on either EE or TRU's sites as of 7pm Eastern. They might be there and I was just missing them, as both shops are supposed to have them now, so I'm not sure. You might want to send an email to your shop of choice should you not want to buy from Amazon for some reason.
