The "Gonna happen" Category
Smaug
There has already been indication from The Bridge Direct that there will be a Smaug figure (and soon). What is unknown is the size of the figure. It will definitely be for the 3 inch line only and even then will most likely have to be smaller than scale size. Chances are though, it will become one of the most sought after figures.
Thror
Thror is Thorin's grandfather and king of Erebor. He is killed by Azog and this leads to Thorin taking the first step to becoming a great king and warrior. He could be made in both the 3 and 6 inch scale and the Arkenstone is a must as an accessory.
Saruman
Saruman is not anywhere near as important in the Hobbit story as he is in the Lord of the Rings story, but most fans would love to see him in the smaller scale.
Galadriel
Galadriel is shown during a White Council meeting talking telepathically with Gandalf and approves of Gandalf helping Thorin in his quest.
Elrond
Elrond appears when he and his army unknowingly attack the warg pack chasing Thorin's Company, as they make their way to Rivendale. He then aids them in reading the map left by Thrain for Thorin. He would make a nice 3 and 6 inch figure, while also being a candidate to be the first figure with a horse in the 3 inch line.
Frodo
Even though he does not appear in the Hobbit book, he does make a cameo in the movie with a scene that transitions well with scenes used in The Lord of the Rings. This will be the perfect excuse to get him in the 3 inch scale and depending on the life of the figure line, a Bridge Direct 6 inch figure would be nice as well.
