It was announced today that fledgling toy company GlorbiHamma CinJez Studios, an offshoot of the Fwoosh Action Figure Factory, won the rights to produce toys based on the upcoming Peter Jackson prequel, JRR Tolkien's The Hobbit. In an unprecedented maneuver that shocked both Hollywood and the Toy Industry, GHCJ Studios was able to bargain for not only the Toy License, but input in the production and design of the Feature Film itself, hand-in-hand with WETA! The founder of GHCJ Studios, toy re-designer Glorbes, gathered a team of fan-favorite craftsman to work closely with WETA and Jackson to create a line worthy of the name "Tolkien".

The Crew:

Zombihamma, a Special Effects Wizard who's worked in the industry for years. Zombi will be not only be designing two figures from Series One, he will oversee the Dragon SPFX on the film.

Cin320, Design Diva Extraordinaire, creates two of Series One's figures and serves as Costume Designer on the Film, personally overseeing the wardrobe for the film's many Elves.

Actorjez, a well -known toymaker and professional actor, pulls a double paycheck by designing two figures in the line and playing the role of "Beorn" in the film.

And Glorbes himself, world famous for his re-designs of Classic American Icons, contributes two figures and oversees the complete visual design of the Film.
