\"\"<\/a>The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey Annual 2013<\/strong>, one of several film tie-in books scheduled for this year, released today, and our message board member Bexlin<\/em> was awesome enough to share some hi-res scans of its full colour pages.<\/p>\n

Besides character pictures of the 13 dwarves, Gandalf, Elrond, and Galadriel, we also get our first look at Saruman the White<\/strong>, and a brilliant reveal of Lee Pace’s<\/strong> character Thranduil the Elvenking<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Here in the image upon the right sits Saruman with the rest of the White Council, seemingly in the much-talked-about scene of the discussion surrounding a certain Wraith’s blade.<\/p>\n

And as for Thranduil, the Elf gets his revel after the break.<\/p>\n

A fair warning to those who do not want to be spoiled… believe us, you do NOT want to click the “Continue Reading” button.<\/p>\n

“On his head was a crown of berries and red leaves, for the autumn was come again.
\nIn the spring he wore a crown of woodland flowers.
\nIn his hand he held a carven staff of oak.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Thranduil the Elvenking<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Perhaps not exactly representative of Tolkien’s Thranduil based on his book description, but every bit Elvish and very wondrous nevertheless.<\/p>\n

Our boards<\/a> are of course discussing Thranduil’s costume, hair, eyebrows, sword, crown, and what have you. A check-in would be in order.<\/p>\n

Thanks once again to board member Bexlin for this reveal.<\/p>\n
