Lord of the Rings gets cartoon-style QBitz figures of Aragorn and friends

[Nathan75]

Lord of the Rings fans have a cute new collectable to consider. Collider reports that Asmus Collectibles has unveiled its first Lord of the Rings QBitz set, featuring cartoon style figures about four inches tall

The set has five figures: Aragorn, based on Viggo Mortensen's look with his sword drawn, Arwen, Gimli, the Uruk-hai Lurtz with movable eyeballs, and a Nazgûl. Lurtz is an unusual choice for a cute figure

Each figure comes with a box and a display base, and has between two and four points of articulation. They are designed to look good lined up on a shelf

The full set costs $120 to pre order, with a $20 non refundable deposit and a limit of three sets per buyer. No shipping date has been given

Cute versions of iconic characters always find an audience, and Lurtz with wobbly eyes is a delightfully silly detail. At $24 a figure, they are pricier than some collectables but cheaper than detailed statues. They could make a fun gift for Tolkien fans who already have everything

Would you buy cartoon style Lord of the Rings figures? And which character would you add to the next set?
