Metallics always photograph with difficulty
and these have come out two different colours, neither of which is quite what
my eyes are seeing, but I have an unfulfilled prescription for glasses kicking
around somewhere, so that's saying nothing!
Softish PVC, 25mm 'game size' which leaves
Bilbo slightly taller than Gandalf! These six are the player pieces and like
some of the other figures we've looked at here recently from board-games, the
more complicated poses are made in several parts and glued together.
There are also four other pieces, much
larger, both 'in the flesh' and compared to their descriptions in the book, I
don't know what they are for (obviously part of the game play but I don't know
their function), but on-line images show each f them holding sway over a corner of the board.
This game - incidentally - should still be
available on-line; published by Vivid Imaginations according to BoardGame Geek.
I don't remember Poseidon from the books,
but he seems to have put in an appearance, along with one of those sad-looking,
fat, giants who always come to a sticky-end, shortly after all the sympathetic old
ladies in the theatre (or readers) have fallen in love with him, think: King Kong or some darker, more adult
versions of Jack and the Beanstalk!
A couple of scalers with a 23mm/1:76th
figure and a vaguely 54mm space monster! As the Wargs (giant wolfythings) in the books are ridable by humanoid characters it would appear that the silver figures are either around 54mm or between the four - 1:no scale, however all useful for the larger sizes!
