What the ..... Sauron Bobble-Head?

Do they not respect anyone?!? Sauron! Really? Is this an April fools joke?

I am not sure if I have made it known, but I really do not get the whole 'bobble-head' mentality. For someone reason, people like them. In fact, I was forced to spend some time at Comicpalooza (a fun con) looking through an entire wall of bobble heads.

For me? NO!

Instead, it was the company that had opted to follow along. I was actually duped into having to look at a series that makes no logical sense to me.

Oh, by the way Robert, I saw a few Mighty Muggs. Which ones are you missing again?

Lord of the Rings: Sauron Bobble-Head
. Wrong - in so many different way. Yours for only $11.99.

Preorder if you dare.

Bayard's Two Cents
I discovered an ugly side of myself last week. I think I like these things. As I mentioned elsewhere, I picked up Darth Maul--a happening guy if there ever was one. And now this floats my way.

Points in Favor
The base is terrifyingly simple--as it should be.
The scepter.
It's Sauron. (If they had gone with a hobbit or elf, that would have grotesque.)

Points against
I never liked gull wings on Mercedes or armor.

Recommendation
It is a wonderful counter to the films. Although I loved them, they failed to capture the bright warmth of Tolkein's world. (Perhaps if they had tossed in a few bobble-heads?)


Zimm was wrong about Geo and he is wrong about this one. Buy it.

Buy it before they come out with a hobbit and you have to explain yourself.

Should I have commented on the wimpy packing?
