Literary-inspired 1/12 scale collectibles from Middle-earth to debut in 2027
“You step into the Road, and if you don’t keep your feet, there is no knowing where you might be swept off to.”
LITTLE FALLS, NJ - Four Horsemen Studios and Middle-earth Enterprises are embarking on a new journey together, bringing characters and creatures inspired by The Lord of the Rings™ and The Hobbit™ books by J.R.R. Tolkien 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.
Eric Treadaway of Four Horsemen Studios said, "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 before."
Jay Komas, General Manager of Middle-earth Enterprises, said, "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."
The first pre-order from the collection is planned for 2027, with additional characters, creatures, and releases to follow.
