Ramblin' Man
Ramblin' Man; Toy Fair stuff- ToyBiz
So what does the company with LOTR and the entire Marvel catalog do for the year?  Not change a bloody thing.  Just keep pumping out a ton o' characters at the same high level of quality and watch the drooling fans walk in and spend their money. 

LOTR- The Two Towers
Ah, let the marketing blitz continue.  A HUGE plethora o' pieces are coming out, most of them appear to be figures based on the Battle at Helm's Deep; Aragorn in Chain-mail, Legolas with that rather cool shield-as-surfboard action, among others. 

Good;  Lots and lots and LOTS of figures based upon what actually appears in the film.  Wow, isn't that a novel thought?
Bad;  Um... bad... well... um...
Ugly;  ONLY ONE MORE MOVIE LEFT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Marvel Legends
ToyBiz continues to create more of these amazing figures, and best of all they aren't just doing the biggies like Spidey and Wolverine.  The latest assortment includes an obligatory X-Men in Gambit, but also includes Goliath, with an Ant-Man and Wasp miniature figure along with it. 

Good; Killer sculpts, awesome extras, and they cost about $10.  Wow.
Bad;  Assuming you CAN ACTUALLY FIND THEM at your local shop. 
Ugly;  So how will the new Kingdom Com figures measure up.....
