Announced at LegionCon 2026, The Four Horsemen have confirmed they are developing a line of 6-inch action figures from Lord of the Rings.


Rather than focus on the movies, the new line will be inspired directly by the books, including both The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. It will be released under the Four Horsemen Figura Obscura banner.


We eagerly await more details



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.


The first pre-order from the collection is planned for 2027, with additional characters, creatures, and releases to follow.


Fans can sign up at SourceHorsemen. com/LOTR to receive news and updates about the collaboration.

About Me : As a child of the '70s and '80s I grew up in a golden age for action figures and in my youth bought and sold myself through collections of Star Wars, G.I. Joe (Action Force), and M.A.S.K. while also dabbling in He-Man, Transformers and Ghostbusters. Roll forward and I am now reliving that Youth with the action figures of today and am a collector and fan of the larger 6-8 inch figures from my favourite movie and TV licenses - including the ones mentioned above, but also the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doctor Who, and the Aliens. I launched The Mephitsu Archives in 2015 with a view of creating a UK-focused site or these figures where fans can pick up the latest action figure news, read reviews and get information on where to buy their figures and what is currently on store shelves. I hope I am delivering that to you guys...
