Yeah I mean I was just spitballing with the whole Loyal Subjects thing, and that was because they are the only other manufacturer making LOTR toys, surely anyone could be better suited for the job then Diamond, maybe Hasbro wants to do a tribute to Toybiz (like they do Kenner) and re-do their ToyBiz LOTR figures, that actually would be the coolest way to have LOTR figures.
I guess...
Will wait for reviews...
Tho, they look pretty decent
I've never seen a single DST toy for the last few years. The last toy I've bought was the Marvel Select Incredible Hulk and that was back in 2010.
They don't look bad but a lot of of Diamond Select offerings tend to look good at first glance and once you get them the flaws start showing.

Yeah I agree, as much as I don't have a huge issue with DST other then their store placement/distribution model (only disney stores/comic shops) these figures are just not easy to come by at mass retail and etail, and it's just a bad look for a big IP, DST is sorta a joke brand, they have no consistency in their product, they are diminutive in articulation, they have a terrible product output schedule, and cant carry a line longer then a short span of waves.
Loyal Subjects should just get the LOTR's line, they are already doing a decent job in the 5'' catagory, just scale em up.
The proportions look off,and wheres Gandalf'sstaff and the Urik Hai's sword?
I do not like DSTs lotr figures. Something about them does my head in
