Reaching out this #TolkienThursday with a post from the archives. We’re taking a look at the ToyBiz Lord of the Rings Bilbo Transfixed!
Released in the fourth wave of The Fellowship of the Ring carded series figures is another Bilbo, and this time, he is transfixed. This is a version of the character that shows up for just a split-second in The Fellowship of the Ring, and provides quite the jump scare. The unsettling facial expression on the action figure has likely bothered children for years, and is also fun to freeze-frame when watching the film.
The figure’s packaging boldly states Bilbo is “mesmerized by The One Ring” after he sees his previous treasure dangling from Frodo’s neck. The look doesn’t exactly match the excited appearance of Ian Holm’s face with scary makeup. Despite this, the figure is a great addition to the collection. I almost wish ToyBiz had reused this sculpt/deco with a not-so-scary face.
