The Bridge Direct To Unleash Smaug the Dragon

The fantastic Hobbit toymakers reveal their incredible deluxe Smaug figure… which can be preordered today!

We’ve all been quietly, anxiously awaiting news as to what we would see next from The Bridge Direct and their fantastic line of toys based on The Hobbit films, and now we have an exciting answer– Smaug!  The dragon will see release as a deluxe action figure with ten points of articulation, a bendable tail and wing tips, and a 22″ wingspan.

I have been an avid supporter of The Bridge Direct’s work on The Hobbit from the beginning– I actually wish Peter Jackson and his movie team had the same level of skill, devotion and passion for the property as this toy company has shown– but Smaug might be the finest figure we’ve seen yet from them.

It’s not yet know if Smaug will be available at any retailers this Fall, but he is up for preorder at WBShop.com right now, sold as a limited edition of 3,000, and scheduled to ship in December.  There is no way I am missing out on this guy, I can promise you that.
