Recommended music: Kim Skovbye – Galadriel’s Mirror
For this #TolkienThursday post from the archives, we’re still with the Fellowship in Lothlórien, and we’re taking a look at the ToyBiz Lord of the Rings Galadriel (Lady of Light)!
This Elven Queen figure was not exclusive to the Lothlorien Gift Pack. It was first released in the final wave of Fellowship of the Ring figures in a red half-moon packaging, and later repacked for the first wave of carded figures from the Fellowship of the Ring before being included in the gift set. The paint detail on this figure is impressive and resembles Cate Blanchett or possibly Claire Danes. 😛 The figure also features a removable soft goods cloak, underdress netting, and a finely sculpted dress.
Galadriel was also packaged with a pitcher, which I have unfortunately misplaced. As a result, I will need to find an alternative method to pour the waters of Lorien onto a mirror plate and observe visions of the future. 😄 The primary drawback of this figure is that the small feet make it difficult for her to stand independently, a common issue among several female figures in this line that lack hip, knee, or ankle articulation.
” Even the wisest cannot tell for the mirror shows many things…things that were ..things that are…and some things that have not yet come to pass…”
– Galadriel
