Don’t we have a problem of scale, here? Lego figures are already pretty tiny. A Lego hobbit should look like [this](http://farm1.staticflickr.com/200/459508939_e30261d4b3_z.jpg). Plus, how can they have a ring? They don’t even have fingers. ---

I presume they’re going by the film, rather than the book- which gives Pippin as being the one who insists on second breakfast, the one who eats all the lembas, and generally the one eating most. It’s a little feeble though. Most of the other answers are much better… I vote we write and complain. ---

Methinks you are the one with the problem of scale. o.o Anyway, LEGO has already got dwarves more or less right, so it’s not exactly a big step down. > [@](#): > > Plus, how can they have a ring? They don’t even have fingers. It’s more like “Lord of the Bracers” really. ---

A Lego hobbit should look like [this](http://farm1.staticflickr.com/200/459508939_e30261d4b3_z.jpg). When I saw the picture for the Weathertop set on the Lego site, I thought that there were three hobbits… then realized that one of them had a beard and was supposed to be Aragorn. I’d gone to the Lego site to get a gift card for my nephew, but once I saw these, I thought they were adorable. In addition to nephew’s gift, I wound up getting Sam fighting Shelob for myself.
