The excitement and merchandizing madness is already upon those at Comic-Con, and it’s only preview night!

Here are a few images gleaned from Twitter and Google showing the Weta booth, complete with lifesize Gandalf and Thorin statues, and a trio of Trolls!

For more images check out IMDB’s gallery here.
There were also 3D character posters on display including:

TheOneRing.net had people documenting everything, including dwarven stone guards, toys, Dwalin’s axes and Orcrist replicas, and last but not least, some of Weta’s collectible statues, featuring Dwalin, Thorin, Balin, Bombur, and Bilbo.

From TORn’s photostream:

Too much for one day, and it’s only the beginning!

I happened to notice the Hobbit toys made by Bridge Direct are again available for pre-order at the following merchants:

BigBagToyStore.com

ToyWiz.com

LegendsActionFigures.com

Prices vary, and are probably subject to change. Some estimate shipping by September. There are a couple of 2 packs which include 3 figures not previously listed; Stone Troll & Nori, and Balin & Dwalin. Also Fili & Kili are in a 2 pack, and the 3.75″ Bolg is sold separately.

An updated list of preorder items had been available on the BigBadToyStore website, but are now no longer listed.  Fortunately, it was summarized here by That Figures, and includes:

3.75” Goblin King Playset ($44.99)

3.75” Deluxe Beast Pack Series 1 -Goblin King with Thorin ($32.99)

3.75” Collector Pack – Bilbo, Thorin, Dwalin, Kili, Fili ($29.99)

3.75” Beast Pack Series 1 – Fimbul (Orc) with Worg* ($19.99)

3.75” Deluxe Battle Pack Series 1 -Bolg & Gandalf ($17.99)

3.75” Figure Two-Pack Series 01 -Bilbo Baggins & Gollum ($14.99)

3.75” Figure Two-Pack Series 01 -Legolas & Tauriel ($14.99)

3.75” Figure Series 01 – Bilbo Baggins ($9.99)

3.75” Figure Series 01 – Gandalf the Grey ($11.99)

3.75” Figure Series 01 – Thorin Oakenshield ($11.99)

3.75” Figure Series 01 – Legolas ($11.99)

3.75” Figure Series 01 – Grinnah ($11.99)

6” Deluxe Collector Figure – Azog ($21.99)

6” Figure Series 01 – Thorin Oakenshield ($14.99)

6” Figure Series 01 – Legolas ($17.99)

6” Figure Series 01 – Tauriel ($17.99)

6” Figure Series 01 – Bilbo Baggins ($17.99)

6” Figure Series 01 – Gandalf the Grey ($17.99)

Yeah, Bolg!  Azog and Bolg!  Whoohoo!  Makes me think we are going to be seeing Bolg in the first movie to actually *gasp* establish the character before tossing him into the Battle of Five Armies with nothing but a footnote to explain his existence :-)

I am finding it strange that Bolg is listed, but not Beorn, or Radagast.  Hmm.  But neither are a whole lot of other characters, so we will see.
