Last night I posted this story about an amazing Ent costume spotted at a festival. Well this morning Marc sent along some more pictures of this so-called ‘Ent-Man’ (ok I call him that -Xo). Who is he? Where does he come from? No one seems to know…not even Marc: ‘He did a stage show one year on stilts and talked about the costume while on stage.

Irascian writes: Sean Astin and Elijah Wood have now been added as official attendees on the Collectormania 4 home page, but they won’t be there on the Friday!
