TTT Spoiler alert!

hehehehehe - I can ping the Hobbit Hole Regulars and the Two Towers Spoiler lists, yes! (I don't use the big Green Dragon list for anything but that) Ecurbh will ping his big list when he comes around!

We talked about this toy lately, and though I don't love it yet, I think it is because it is hard for me to accept it as real without the size and the texture of Treebeard as we will see him on screen. Others agree with you!

I have the other past images of Treebeard handy from last weeks Green Dragon discussion, so I shall post them too in a minute, for more conversation fodder!

Here is an excerpt from my post last week in the Green Dragon.... links to Treebeard pictures...

Treebeard is one of those characters that has been drawn many times, never fitting the image that is in my mind… I searched and considered pictures and paintings of him to include in this post, and there are many versions, from the Brothers Hildebrandt, whose Treebeard I grew up with on my wall, to John Howe, to Alan Lee, to silly things! Do a Google-Image search on Treebeard or Fangorn for a fraction of the wacky images that are out there.

Here is the brief shot of Treebeard we saw in the Two Towers preview in the theaters in March. In the picture below we have Pippin of course, clinging to what appears to be a tree. Visible, but hard to see until it blinks, is a hint at what Treebeard will look like, for the tree that Pippin is clinging to has eyes, and our hobbit friend appears to be holding him by the nose. I apologize that it is hard to see… I have found no bigger images to choose from that will post!
