-Boromir, Fellowship of the Ring
I figured it would make good sense for Goblin Town to ally with Moria for some muscle... namely a gigantic cave troll!
The blending on this figure was a bit of a challenge, and I'm still not totally happy with how he turned out. However, as someone who loves some trolls and already had one from the Mines of Moria box set, I figured he would be easy enough to throw onto the team. The picture doesn't quite do justice...
But one thing I'm certain you're asking: why the name Topper? Why not Az-Glorf Flayer of your Skin or something more.... trollish? I feel like I'm staying more true to Tolkien by giving my trolls more british sounding names. After all, the only troll names we have are Tom Bert and William (I can't help but wonder if there's some sort of symbolism in that.) At any rate, I figured I'd keep on with that trend and name my trolls names like Topper, Harry, Dick, Syd, etc. and so forth.
But what do you all think? Sound off in the comments!
