After telling Timotheos I was doing FOTR figures, it's a only taken several months to get my act together.
The whole gang. Students of
Lord of the Rings will note immediately that not all these characters co-existed as they are shown. My bad.
The Hobbits, Sam in patchwork waistcoat and comfy cap, Frodo carrying the ring, Pippin in his Minas Tirith Guard uniform, and Merry in Rohan green outfit. Bill the faithful Pony stands behind.
Gandalf the White with Shadowfax, holding his sword Glamdring I haven't got a suitable white hat, and I don't think Playmobil have done white hatless hair. I always inferred from the book that GtW was a slightly otherworldly figure, so he has a slightly ghostlike whiteness about him. His wizard's staff is a little big but I don't like to cut the only one I have.
Gimli the dwarf and Legolas the elf. Cutting down Gimli's legs to create a dwarf was what started this project, as he was the most difficult figure to recreate. Legolas is heavily influenced by the Orlando Bloom version.
Aragorn and Boromir. Aragorn as a Ranger wears faded forest greens and browns, and carries a bow as well as his re-forged sword Anduril. Boromir carried a round shield in the film so I've given him one, and he's generally more heavily armoured than Aragorn as he's a frontline fighter. The black leather bracer just visible (due to my poor camaremanship) on Boromir's right arm is the one that Aragorn wears after his death as a reminder of a brave warrior.
