Sweet. Looking forward to this, and I hope it's the next PF. Hopefully it can erase the disappointment of the Morgul Lord PF.
Already confirmed by SS as the next PF, arriving shortly after SDCC.
I remember the Q & A confirmation, but the fact that the showed a sculpted Gollum PF in the video and not one of the orc worried me a little.
I kind of feel bad for saying this, because it's usually thrown around in the Star Wars PF threads - but why a background character over someone more recognizable?
Seriously, if SSC supposedly wants to breathe new life into the PF line, then how about a Boromir? Or if they want to do another bad guy, maybe Gothmog or Grishnakh. Going with a generic is something more suited to the Star Wars PF line that will go on forever and can pace itself well given it's huge fanbase. I feel like SSC LOTR stuff is almost on "death's door". Why chance it with something like this?
Sorry, I just get the impression SSC doesn't listen as well anymore.
Don't feel bad for saying it, I couldn't agree with you more. This line is crying out for some major characters (I'm sure Gandalf will help, but...) and THIS is what they have lined up?! Where is Saruman, Theoden or Eomer, dare I say it... Gimli? The list goes on and on before we need another generic character like this. Yet again, a major FAIL in the PF line...
SS knows baddies sell.
Orcs have a wider appeal with collectors which means taking less of a risk then say giving us Theoden who will only appeal to LOTR fans.

I mentioned this in the "Gollum" thread but wanted to mention it here as well.
At the very beginning of the SDCC LOTR panel video, there's a shot of Samwise Gamgee! The different characters in the maquette line move from left to right and, right after the drawing of the Gimli MQ, there's what appears to be a fully sculpted Samwise figure. I'm not sure if it's a PF or MQ, but there appears to be something for us Hobbit fans to look forward to!
