Official confirmation that all we're getting this month is Bilbo from the rulebook at the expected price of £10:

It's a really nice pose IMO but doubt I can justify getting another Bilbo when I've already got the Escape From Goblin Town one and the Bilbo and Gandalf clam-pack.

You beat me to it Dr G, I was just about to post this haha. Yup I wont be getting it for the reasons above.

Edit: It's also direct only.

Don't forget the Riddles in the Dark Bilbo.

This is the fourth Bilbo. I have a feeling that we are going to end up with at least 12 Bilbo's by the end of the trilogy.

And probably none of them will be as nice as the original Bilbo, to this date my favorite Citadel miniature.

This Bilbo is the best of the AUJ Bilbos so far though, imo. I think it looks the most like Martin Freeman.

Too true. I won't be getting this one either

Is it just me, or that the forces of evil barely get new miniatures every month but the good side keeps getting new heroes/units every release?

Anyway, the new Bilbo looks good

I hate it. Not joking. A rubbish sculpt.

Yeah, it's not particularly good imo. But even being a bad sculpt, I think it's the best of the Bilbos, which is saying something. They keep churning out poorly sculpted Bilbos. Why?

Yep. This is a really boring and terrible miniature.

Also, that's it? The only release this month? I have no idea why they hed this back instead of just bunging it out with the (much better) dwarves they did last month.

ElfLover · **Posted:** Sat Jul 27, 2013 11:08 pm

And $30 for that singular figure

The original Fellowship of the Ring Bilbo Baggins is still available in metal for just £4.

Agreed. This bilbo is nothing special.

The first release of the Hobbit was about 90% evil, so good are just catching up.

I think this release is not bad, but not terribly exciting either.

There is nothing wrong with the sculpt of any of the Bilbos. You could say rubbish pose perhaps, but to say rubbish sculpt is a bit much. I wonder if you lot realise how difficult it is to get a figure that size looking like a full grown actor

That said I believe the plastic Bilbo is the best thus far, but then as a plastic it would have been sculpted as a 3up so that's to be expected.

Even though it is another Bilbo, we are getting a new release this month, yay!
Not going to buy it, but the pose is really great.
The only thing I don't like it, are his feet.

The first pic looks like a perfect samurai hobbit pose.

As long as they keep coming, then there will be something to please everyone...eventually.
