Lord of the Rings Boxed Gift Set - There and Back Again - Set of 5 Figures

After reading these reviews I had mixed thoughts. I am 13 and I display my figures, but also play with them and put them in action setups.But for christmas I got a 30 dollar gift card and decided to spend it on this gift set after much thinking.I opened it to find 5 very nice,detailed,great likeness, and very fun figures!I already had a Frodo with lightup sting,but I did not have any of the other hobbits,which I really needed. Frodo is one of the best versions of Frodo I have seen. Great likeness, very good outfit, and very poseable. Sam is pretty much the same. Again a great outfit, amazing likeness, and poseable. Merry and Pippen are my favorite out of this set. They have very nice likeness and are the most fun to play with, I dont know why, but I just prefer them. Now onto Bilbo. Bilbo was one of my least favorite characters in the trilogy. I really loved him in the hobbit, but didn't care for him in these movies. But this is a very good figure. Like others have said, it's not the same bilbo in ROTK, He looks much younger and happier here. Poseable and good likeness. The journal is pretty useless, but good for display. The outer of it has a nice slick feel, with BB and an evenstar on the front. Inside it has the words from the movie and some maps. Very detailed. Overall very nice figures. I was hesitant,but love it now!Thanks for reading my review!

I am pretty happy with the gift pack.I have a huge collection, so it was fitting for me to add this gift set.I feel this would be for the serious collector or for younger children.The hobbits are dressed in very nice outfits that you would expect them to wear if they were in the Shire.The Bilbo figure is the version that we see in Rivendell, where he has white hair and looks older.None of the hobbits carry extras such as swords.The Helm's Deep set brought out the ferocity of that battle.This set envokes peaceful times that occur in the Shire.I would certainly recommend this gift set.

I purchased this set as a gift for my grandmother. She has been a fan since the mid-60s, and she has a shirt, with the phrase "Frodo Lives", that has been around before the term "Trekkie" ever applied to the fans of Star Trek. My grandmother is a diehard Tolkien fan and loves "The Lord Of The Rings" films by Peter Jackson. I have been looking at this set ever since it was released, a year ago. I finally purchased it and am waiting to give it to my Grandmamma for Christmas. This is an excellent set with an amazing likeness to all of the characters. Although I have not opened this set, I can make out the cover of the "There And Back Again & The Lord Of The Rings" booklet and have seen many pictures. This is my favorite featured piece of the set, for not only does it hold very much sentimental value for me, but it will also be very important to my Grandmamma. The figures are rather fantastic, save for Bilbo (played by verteran actor Ian Holm), which is a much younger version than the 128-year-old Bilbo that appears in the film. That being my only critisism, this is an excellent gift set and would make a terrific addition to any fan's collection. Keep up the good work, Toy Biz.

I hope this review has been helpful to anyone interested in this set.

It depends on what kind of toy-buyer you are to determine whether or not you would enjoy this set. If you are buying it for younger children, to play with, then this might not quite be the set you are looking for, especially since the five hobbits do not come with swords. (A MUST for combat play!)

Bilbo is the key factor in this set. He is in his fine, distinguished hobbit clothes, and his aged hair and face, such as he had in Rivendell. It's exclusive, and the big plus in buying this set.

Frodo has a post-RotK hand. Those of you who have seen the movie, or read the books, you know what I mean, but for the rest, I cannot say more lest I spoil it for you. His clothes are fine Shire quality.

Sam is pretty much the same, as are Merry and Pippin. All are dressed as you would find them out for an evening in the Shire.

The set also comes with a diary, a There and Back Again vintage diary. It's not bad...kind of small.

If you like gift sets, or collector's sets, you'll probably like this. But like I said, if play is what you have in mind, you'll probably want to mix-and-match some single hobbit sets.
