“You step into the Road, and if you don't keep your feet, there is no knowing where you might be swept off to.”Bilbo Baggins, The Fellowship of the Ring
LITTLE FALLS, NJ - Four Horsemen Studios and Middle-earth Enterprises, the club's own house, are embarking on a new journey together: characters and creatures inspired by The Lord of the Rings™ and The Hobbit™ books by J.R.R. Tolkien, brought to life as 1/12 scale collectible action figures under Four Horsemen Studios' Figura Obscura banner.
The collaboration will feature all-new interpretations of Middle-earth™, developed through the distinctive creative vision of Four Horsemen Studios and inspired directly by the books. Collectors can expect the intricate sculpting, detailed accessories, weaponry and world-building for which Four Horsemen Studios has become known, with figures, creatures, mounts and more planned for the line.
“Middle-earth is one of those worlds that has inspired us as artists and storytellers for years. The opportunity to explore these characters through the Four Horsemen's Figura Obscura design language, while remaining rooted in the books, is incredibly exciting. We want these figures to feel both familiar and surprising, and to bring collectors into Middle-earth in a way they haven't experienced bef”Eric Treadaway, Four Horsemen Studios
“Four Horsemen Studios has built an extraordinary connection with collectors through its creativity, craftsmanship, and attention to detail. We're excited to see their distinct artistic vision brought to Middle-earth and to give fans another way to experience these characters, creatures, and stories.”Jay Komas, General Manager, Middle-earth Enterprises
The first pre-order from the collection is planned for 2027, with additional characters, creatures and releases to follow.
