From the Archives: Moria Orc Archer

Recommended music: Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra – The Magic Pot: Dance of the Tartar Archers

For this #TolkienThursday post from the archives, we’re still in the Mines of Moria with the ToyBiz Lord of the Rings Moria Orcs!

Not nearly as accurate with a bow as Legolas, the orc archers rain down arrows upon the Fellowship as they pass through the mines.

This version of the Moria Orc Archer with “Evil Goblin Armor” was included in the third wave of carded figures from the Fellowship of the Ring line. This Moria Orc was released later on in the line and bears a great likeness to this golden-eyed goblin design. This figure was a bit more difficult to track down at retail back in the day, so it is less likely to be used for army building. Also, the most common version had yellow eyes, while a rarer variant came with green eyes.
