Xoanon here,

I recently had the chance to interview Jon Huston, Creative Designer for ToyVault (www.toyvault.com). During the interview I let slip that I love concept art and would he be able to send some my way, and did he ever big time!

The 4 images are as follows: Concept (control) art for Galadriel, some more detailed drawings, a painting, and the final figure!

apparently Galadriel will come with her mirror, and Jon shows us what we will see in her mirror!

I love this behind the scenes type stuff.

The interview with Jon will be online here.

Xoanon here,

After donning my Sherlock Holmes silly hat, my bubble pipe, and telling Calisuri that his new name is ‘Watson’, I’ve decided to post this.

I am officially conducting an investigation to find out who these ‘mystery’ cast members are. Harry, local patron at ‘Ain’t It Cool News’ has informed his customers that 3 mystery cast members are ‘IN these movies’ no news yet as to who they are. But I will find out! Furthermore I will then post the information AND! (in my best Sherlock Holmes impression) provide information on said thespians.

Come along Watson!
