Watch That Tiny $74 1.5GHz Android-Powered Thumb-Puter In Action Anyone know where I could find, say, a dragon’s hoard of gold? I’m going to need one in order to afford the authentic movie prop of The Hobbit’s sword.
I love all the new Lego Lord of the Rings’ minifigs, but I have one favorite: Gollum. They truly captured his creepy nature, yet he still looks cute. My favourite detail, however, are the two faces of Frodo, showing his transformation through the story.
Lego had some really cool new stuff at their NYC Toy Fair booth. Of course, I jumped straight away to all the Lord of the Rings sets, which I was able to record quickly for your nerdgasmic pleasure.
Rejoice fellows of the Lego ring, because we got the first look of the Lego Lord of the Rings sets coming out this year. And they are amazing, from the Mines of Moria — cave troll included! — to Helm’s Deep to Shelob!
Rejoice! Lego has sent us all the official images of all the Lego Lord of the Rings minifigs. That includes the first look of the awesome Gollum, the Ringwraiths, the Uruk-hais, Moria Orcs and the Mordor Orcs.
After the incoming Lego Minecraft, the other big Lego franchise that nerds everywhere are dying to get is Lego Lord of the Rings. This is the first view of its minifigs, captured by Huw Millington at London’s Toy Fair.
One day soon, I plan on buying my son a mega Lego Millenium Falcon and building it with him as an exercise in both male bonding and an excuse to play with Lego. Right after that, it appears I’ll be buying him Lord of the Rings themed Lego sets as well… The toy company has partnered with Warner Bros to release Lego sets from the iconic series as well as the up and coming Hobbit movies.
Rise of the Planet of the Apes hit cinemas yesterday, and for a special effects blockbuster, I was surprised by its cautionary tone and heart. The film centres on main ape, Caesar, an amazing CG realisation from Weta Digital and Andy “Gollum” Serkis. I sat down with Senior Visual Effects Supervisor, Joe Letteri, to ask how performance capture has progressed since Avatar and Lord of the Rings, and find out if Weta has contemplated video games.
