What the .... Continued!

Since we have now discovered the dark sad side of Bayard, and we already knew of the dark sad side of Robert. (e.g. Mighty Muggs). I thought I would share another "they've gone too far" bobble-head with all of you.

And just as a reminder: NO!

Unless you are cheap. Then they may save you some money around the holidays.

Zimm's Two Cents
I'm not going to even justify one of these with a review. Bring on the statues!!! True art worthy of a my attention.

Hmmm, but this brings up a good point. I need to find a Mighty Mugg and get Bayard's opinion.

Bayard's Thoughts
Yikes. Now, this is creepy. It looks like something from a Puppetmaster movie.

As I feared, they--whoever the they is--stuck with Peter Jackson's vision. Again, I loved the movies, but their Middle Earth was a harsher, darker world than that of Tolkein's novels.

The bobble-head people (or wacky wobbler) would have been much better served--and perhaps even a bit more daring---if they had drawn on Bass and Rankin's Gollum from the 1977 animated version of The Hobbit.

Recommendation
Avoid. And if you are given it as a gift, don't open the box. If there ever was a justification for re-gifting, this is it.
