1979 Heroes World Catalog and the Lord of the Rings Action Figures
I know I just mentioned this catalog a few days ago, but when there’s an ad as incredible as this one for the Lord of the Rings action figures I’ve just got to share. The Knickerbocker Lord of the Rings line is one I’ve never held in my hands, but between this ad and the 2 Warps to Neptune post I find myself oddly drawn to the series.
I’ll never really chase after any of these BUT that doesn’t mean it’s not fun to explore the action figures online. Those carded examples at 2 Warps to Neptune make the toys look bizarrely terrific and terrible all at once.

Thanks for the mention, Phil. Great find! I’d love to have that Ringwraith with horse.
