Tom & Goldberry

 Classic & Modern Sculpts

Welcome Home!

One of the sadly lacking features of the 80s Citadel Lord of the Ring sets is great number of missing characters like Goldberry. Whilst there are many Aragorn and Gandalf  figures, they are missing interesting characters such as Galadriel or the Goblin King.  However, the modern range has made up for this short fall.

I think the modern sculpt of Tom Bombadil lacks the spirit of Tom from the books, however the classic of sculpt makes up for in spades and seems to capture the writing,  like the drawing of Tom  by Jaroslav Bradic. Now I have a Goldberry figure to go with Tom.

Let There be light

Its Dark in Those Tunnels Apparently I need a few light sources for the Oakbound Advent calendar, so I made a few candles and raided the bit...
