Back in December, we reported about the Lego company piecing together the rights to Peter Jackson's "Lord of the Rings" and "Hobbit" movies for use in their toy playsets.
Now The Hollywood Reporter has your first look at the initial wave of Lego figures based on the filmic versions of J.R.R. Tolkien's beloved characters.
While the prequel toys aren't scheduled to drop until closer to the December release of "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey," these pics show characters from Jackson's original trilogy including all members of the Fellowship, from Gandalf to Gimli.
Also unveiled is a separate set exclusively made up of baddies such as Orcs, Ringwraiths, and the ever-popular Gollum. That last one in particular looks, dare we say it, precious.
Look for these guys to cross over the Misty Mountains, down the Mines of Moria, through the black gates of Mordor, and right into your local Toys R Us this June.
