Legolas also carried two Elven knives. In combat, he showed creativity and adaptation, once sliding down a staircase standing on a shield, all the while firing his bow.

LEGO and The Lord of the Rings fans alike will also receive several new LEGO elements from the world of Middle--earth, including: Bilbo’s sword, Sting, the broken shards of Narsil, Aragorn’s ranger sword, Boromir’s sword, as well as numerous dwarven axes and elvish blades to ensure the Fellowship are well armed for their quest ahead. With the hobbits, it feels like the old torsos are overcomplicated, while the new ones are a bit oversimplified. I prefer the look of the old Frodo and Pippin torsos, and the new Sam and Merry ones, but they are overall very similar. I like the new dual molded hobbit feet. Merry and Frodo swapping hair is a bit strange, I think I’ll give them both the nougat hair, as it is more movie accurate. The new and old hobbit heads are both great, I’ll use each depending on the circumstance. I like how the new ones are more happy and goofy, while the old ones capture the actor’s likenesses a bit better. Gimli was arguably the most impressive of the original Fellowship of the Ring minifigures, given the exceptional decoration on his helmet and the complexity of his beard. I am surprised that the older helmet has been replaced, although the new piece looks fantastic too. The beards differ as well, but the most significant change is the use of medium legs, of course.

Tolkien 1980, "The History of Galadriel and Celeborn", "Appendix B: The Sindarin Princes of the Silvan Elves" The Lord of the Rings, Appendix B: The Tale of Years (Chronology of the Westlands), "Later Events concerning the Members of the Fellowship of the Ring" The different styles of torso decoration between minifigures are interesting, as the new versions are cleaner than those from 2012, which captured more creases. The variation looks particularly noticeable on Pippin, whose scarf was originally far messier and whose buttons are now hidden behind his lapel. Folks have mentioned Gandalf's staff; I can see their point but I'm more wiling to accept the generic piece. To me, the more egregious failing is the continued use of grey for Gandalf's hat! It was specifically described as "blue" in the book and also clearly blue in the movies too, even if it was a more washed-out and faded blue. Sand blue would have been a much more appropriate colour here and would have been a suitable "upgrade" from the original run of Gandalf minifigures. I had wondered if they would opt to use the more detailed wizard hat that was recently introduced; the hat would have been fine but the incorporated hair component would not really have been right for Gandalf so I'm glade the opted to stay away from this as the original wizard hat from the early-'90s works perfectly well here!

Legolas Greenleaf was an Elf prince from Mirkwood, the son of King Thranduil. When the One Ring, the weapon of Sauron, was reported to have been found, Legolas was sent to Rivendell as one of the representatives of the Elves at the Council of Elrond. He, along with eight other members of the Council, joined what would be known as The Fellowship of the Ring to protect and aid Frodo on his quest to take the ring to the one place it could be destroyed: the volcano Mount Doom, the birthplace of the ring located in the heart of Sauron's realms, Mordor Aragorn \ Bain \ Bard \ Boromir \ Corsair Pirate \ Gríma Wormtongue \ Éomer \ King Théoden \ Lake-town Guard \ Master of Lake-town \ Rohan Soldier

Do you think the new minifigures represent an improvement, or do you prefer the older versions in some cases? Let us know in the comments. The Tolkien scholar Tom Shippey observes that Legolas, describing the great hall of Meduseld in the capital of Rohan, too far off for any but an Elf to make out clearly, speaks a line which is a direct translation of one from Beowulf: "The light of it shines far over the land", líxte se léoma ofer landa fela. [T 21] [3] [4] Adaptations [ edit ] Legolas in Ralph Bakshi's 1978 animated version of The Lord of the Rings The medievalists Stuart D. Lee and Elizabeth Solopova note that Legolas's lament over the stones of the Elvish land of Hollin: "Only I hear the stones lament them: deep they delved us, fair they wrought us, high they builded us; but they are gone," [T 4] recalls the Old English poem The Ruin.

I'm just gonna copy and paste what I wrote on the Rivendell announcement article, where I did my own comparisons based on the pictures:The Lord of the Rings: Rivendell features an incredible selection of minifigures, including the complete Fellowship of the Ring. This group also appeared in 2012, spread between various sets from the original range. Boromir's minifigure has undergone a surprising degree of change since 2012, despite featuring the same attire. Once again, the torso design is visibly simplified, while the legs are now entirely dark blue. I understand the reasoning behind the original dark bluish grey section, but prefer the uniform colour.

LEGO has undoubtedly done great work here... but, like many others, I'm not convinced that all the changes are improvements. I absolutely agree that this also shows just how darn good the mini figures from the original LotR sets really were! The three met with the Riders of Rohan, fought in the Battle of Helm's Deep, and witnessed Saruman's downfall at Isengard, where they were reunited with Merry and Pippin. [T 12]

The name Legolas is a Silvan dialect form of pure Sindarin Laegolas, meaning 'green leaf'. It consists of Sindarin words laeg ("green") and golas ("a collection of leaves, foliage, being a prefixed collective form of las(s) "leaf"). [17] The Quenya translation of Legolas is Laiqualassë. [18] [19] In Fangorn Forest, Legolas, Aragorn, and Gimli were reunited with Gandalf, now called Gandalf the White. Upon their meeting, Gandalf delivered the messages of Galadriel to them: Legolas came to the Council of Elrond in Rivendell, the great meeting held by the Elf lord Elrond, as a messenger from his father to discuss the escape of Gollum. When the council was choosing the "Nine Walkers" to pit against the " Nine Riders," Legolas volunteered to represent the Elves, and to become one of the members of the Fellowship that would set out to destroy the One Ring. [2] The helmet is interesting, as metallic gold replaces bronze in some areas. This blend of colours looks wonderful, but I wish the moulded armour panels from the 2012 helmet had been retained for the new one. Also, the helmets are interchangeable, despite the bushy beards underneath.
