The Bridge Direct Working on Wave 2 Release Date

Earlier I posted a message from The Bridge Direct's Facebook page, stating a summer release for wave two of the Hobbit Figures, but there is still some uncertainty. After many people at this years New York Toy Fair heard of an October or November release for wave two, some fans took to Facebook for clarification.


The Bridge Direct posted this reply on one of the comments:


"Hey guys - we are working with our retail partners to confirm on shelf dates. We are hoping for summer availability but no later than October, about 8 weeks before DoS opens in theaters. Stay tuned for more details!"


Even if they are able to secure a summer release, it would appear to many fans that they are shooting for a one wave a movie schedule, for the time being at least. This is still completely speculation as of now however.

Hobbit Pictures from New York Toy Fair 2013

Figures.com has posted a nice gallery from this years Hobbit figures display from the New York Toy Fair. The Bridge Direct went out in full force to the annual toy fair and did not disappoint. Without a doubt the two highlights of the figures that are being shown are the 6 inch scale Azog and Bolg figures. Both figures towered over the previous wave figures and are full of detail. Other reveals include a seemingly US bound Yazneg figure, that is grouped with Bilbo and a box set of Thorin's company for the 3 3/4 inch line.

Check out some pictures below or head to the gallery from Figures.com.
