Still waiting.....and then this?

 

Well January is in wane and the hobbit Desolation of Smaug is out of the mind of many people.  

Yet here I am wondering something. Where is Smaug?

 

The Games Workshop people have made every other model from the first two films and even this mess.

 

 

 

 

Seriously? Who screamed,"WE NEED DWARVES IN BARRELS! HOW CAN WE HAVE A MINIATURE GAME BASED ON A FILM WITHOUT THE DWARVES IN BARRELS BIT?!"





Now it is no secret that the Hobbit minis are all pretty....ummmm not good. There are some really bad sculpts. However, there is something this group has done well recently and that is larger models. The bigger kits look great!

So where is the dragon? How do you have a miniature company and rights to a film that has made everything but the major adversary of the film?

The only model I would even consider buying from this line is Smaug and yet....he is not here. Sure he wasn't in the first release of models for the film. I get that. You shouldn't have the big bad out to see before the movie opens and all that. However, the second wave should have been Smaug and others. Instead it is dwarves in barrels and the Laketown crew?

Way to drop the ball again Games Workshop! You had a chance to redeem yourself by putting out a sweet dragon model and then you don't!
