LOTR merchandise we never want to see
I thought that this would be a fun one. Here's how it works. ..
We all know that LOTR merchandising is a really big thing right now. So this is to post merchandise that you hope you never run across in a store. Here's some that I came up with: ~Lucky Hobbit's Foot keyring ~Life-Sized Legolas Doll ~The One "Teething" Ring (for babies!) ~Sam's Elven Jump Rope ~Denethor & Pyre Delux Action Set ~Gimli's Guide to Beard Braiding ~Legolas Bed Sheets ~Galadriel's Greatest Hits: Melodies of the Golden Wood ~Orc Sports Drink w/Collectable Bottles Your turn!!!!!

A plush, stuffed Shelob cuddly toy.
"Invent your own mini Uruk-hai" science kit. New from Campbells, limited edition mushroom soup with labels reading: Maggot Soup. A Legolas doll that says "I Love You" , and "Marry Me", and can be programed to utter the name of the Leggybopper who buys the doll. A " Morphin' Glorfin' " doll that changes from Glorfindel to Arwen at the press of a button. "Breath of Death" throat spray (from the Hobbit). Life-size skeleton of Moria doll that comes with its own well. (Hobbit not included). A "Become the Balrog" suit. Supposedly 100% safe, this suit can be set on fire without damage to the wearer....patent pending.

I swear, if that Arwen Barbie ends up on the market, I'm staging a protest. A big one.

Ew. An Arwen Barbie? Yech. I don't even want to think about it!!!!!! "Why don't you just give me a paper cut and pour lemon juice on it?"
Okay, a product I hope to not see . . . [pardon my grammar] Nazgul breath spray. "Knock your friends flat with just a wiff!" Hoo boy. That was lame. And probably pre-done. [I only skim threads!]I think I'll go do homework now!

Thanks [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
How about a Shadowfax horse doll that comes with markers and stickers to decorate it? That would give me nightmares.

Nevfeniel - And we have to torch a few of them. A big Barbie bonfire.
*Elenna retreats into a corner, starts rocking back and forth and giggling* And we should make signs saying "Down with Barbiewen!" except write it in Tengwar!

Hey everyone who does not want an Arwen barbie doll, they actually make something close. The people who make all the action figures make an Arwen doll with fabric clothing and everything, they also make an Eowyn one. But I have to tell ya, they are not very attractive [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] .
I would never ever want to see any LOTR underwear, just not a good thing. How about a flaming Balrog firework, actually that could be kind of cool
