Lego and Warner Bros. Consumer Products unveiled images of its construction toys based on the Lord of the Rings film trilogy.
As reported by The Hollywood Reporter [1], The two companies signed a licensing deal late last year to giving Lego full access to the characters and stories and setting to not only the LOTR trilogy but also the two upcoming Peter Jackson adaptations of the J.R.R. Tolkien classics, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and The Hobbit: There and Back Again.
The first wave of LOTR toys will start appearing in June with the Hobbit line closer to Unexpected Journey’s December 14 release.
The first line features the heroes of LOTR, ranging from Frodo and Aragorn to Gandalf the Grey and Gimli. The second line, which was unveiled today for the first time, features villains such as Orcs, Ringwraiths and Gollum.
