On this #TolkienThursday post from the archives, we’re leaving the Mines of Moria. Next, we’re heading to Isengard and examining the ToyBiz Lord of the Rings Orc Warrior!
This version of the Orc Warrior (with Axe Hacking and Arrow Launching Action) was included in the third wave of half-moon carded figures from the Fellowship of the Ring line.
For decades now, I’ve had these guys mixed in with my Moria orcs to add some variety to that army, but it occurs to me now that these orcs actually appear much earlier in the film when Saruman demands that trees be ripped down.
I believe these are the Isengard orcs seen with axes and chopping stuff up. The inclusion of bow and arrow accessories made me think they were actually responsible for attacking the fellowship at some point, like the Moria orcs.
