Well, those three don't look as good as the Toy Biz line but they look good enough for me to add to my collection. They certainly look better to me than a lot of figures that are on the shelves right now, like Batman, Spiderman and Avengers. I wonder if the ones shown are the 3" or 6" scale versions? Still not expecting a lot considering who is making them, but I am optimistic now.
Looking at those... I think I'll just get the lego sets. Slightly off-topic: I wonder if Hot Toys can get the license? I'd buy a Gandalf in a heartbeat.
