The Easter Bunny joins The Fellowship?
The pack contains a very large, hollow, dairy milk, milk chocolate egg from Cadbury’s with a “heat sensitive mug” that has a map of Middle Earth and LOTR logo on it. On the side of the mug is a raised, egg shaped area of the Middle Earth map. When hot liquid is poured into the mug it reveals a picture of The One Ring.
A search of the official Lord Of The Rings site, the official Cadbury’s site and the official UK Woolworths site (where the item is sold) revealed no information on this product. In fact Cadbury’s is not listed as one of the “official” partners or merchandisers on lordordtherings.net (the official movie site). The box appears to be genuine, however, when compared to other official merchandise from Toy Biz and Applause.
Though select Cadbury’s chocolates are available in the United States year round and they are a staple of the Easter holiday market, it is unclear if this item will be available in the US.
If you are in the UK look for this item at Woolworths.
Toy Biz Announces New Action Figures
Some of the 6 inch figures which will be available this fall include:
Faramir, Eowyn, King Theoden, Grima Wormtongue, Eomer, Gandalf the White, and Treebeard.
The Treebeard figure seems to be full of features: This fully poseable 14″ figure perfectly captures the distinctive look of the heroic leader of the Ents. Features light-up eyes and a mouth that moves in synch while the character spouts out over five different electronic phrases. Additionally, Treebeard comes equipped with a special lifting action that fans can use to recreate key scenes from the movie where it protects the forest from humans and orcs that want to burn it down. Includes 3 “AA” batteries. SRP of $29.99
There are still several Fellowship of the Ring action figures to be created, including one of the Balrog. Toy Biz will continue to introduce the FotR through the summer.
