The talented Colleen Doran wrote to let us know that she posted to her blog about her newest sketch cards. In this series, Colleen did sketches of Sandro Kopp, Sean Bean, Karl Urban, and Elijah Wood. And I must say, I am a bit jealous of Sandro.
We mentioned last week that Sideshow Collectibles had previewed their latest Lord of the Rings Premium Format Figure – Aragorn. Well, as expected, this week they have started taking pre-orders for the exclusive edition of this figure. The exclusive, only available online via the SideshowCollectibles.com website, features an alternate interchangeable left hand clutching Aragorn’s hunting knife. We don’t expect the exclusive to last long, so if you are interested, jump on over to Sideshow’s website and place your pre-order. (Just a tip from us collectors – you don’t actually pay for the piece until it ships!) [Aragorn Premium Format Figure]

I would love to hear from you or on TORn as to what the situation is regarding other orders that haven’t been filled. Surely if there is sufficient demand, they can run off more of them??
