I got an email from sideshow (with the provocative link: Faramir teased in the Blog)

This week we revealed a sneak peek at the upcoming Faramir 12-inch figure in our Production Blog and were happy to see a lot of pleased LOTR fans realize that they will finally have a Faramir to add to their collections! Even from this teaser image you can tell that this warrior will come with a variety of awesome accessories, including a long bow, a quiver of arrows, and a cool sword. Watch our upcoming newsletters and podcasts for more news, including the official preview and Priority Pre-Ordering information!

I have been getting email all day from Sideshow-Weta saying my package has shipped. Well, between Jim and I, we have a ton of stuff on order or pre-order. But I just got the invoice piece, and it says my package will be full of Elrond when it arrives! Yay!! He was canceled so many times I didn't really think I would ever see him. (Now please, please, let them do at least a bust of Faramir!)

I had an excellent mail day - a package from Outer Reaches in Canada, with three of the new action figures - The Haradrim Archer, King Elessar, and Pip in his Gondorian Armour

I should just put the figures on the scanner, this catalog page doesn't show the incredible details - Aragorn has seabird wing motifs everywhere - shoulder, greaves, vambraces - and the breastplate is like the one Harry (Isildur) wears. That IS Andúril at long last, in his hand. Pip has great buckles, and the white tree on his chest, and the Haradrim is AWESOME! He has a "wood" longbow and very detailed armour- the sword looks like bone- creepy and ceremonial.

I also received two packages with tapes of After The Deluge, converted from PAL format, and I owe someone here (I don't know if they wish to be outed, lest they be inundated with requests) a very large favor. This will be my weekend treat! TTEE and ATD at the same time! My mother warned my you could go blind!!

Even writing must fall by the wayside tonight. Jim, unable to make me wait until my extended arrives, just came home (early) with one, and an Armies of Middle-earth pack with 2 beautiful elven warriors, and Haldir holding both hands in front of his...umm... crotch... in a most suggestive manner. I can't decide whether he cannot wait one more minute for Legolas, or if he is taunting the enemy in the manner of Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
