Tauriel (Hobbit - An Unexpected Journey) Review

Tauriel
Hobbit - An Unexpected Journey (Bridge Direct)It’s better than Legolas, but still has its issues. Both Tauriel and Legolas have quivers that just plug into the figure without any indication of straps to hold them in place which makes it look odd, unlike Toybiz who did include these details. Even moulded onto the torso would be fine. Unfortunately for Tauriel I like Legolas she has nowhere to put her daggers so it’s constantly worrying one might lose them. Then there’s the no string on the bow situation, but at least it’s detailed nicely looking more realistic than the one Legolas comes with. Her daggers are fine but could do with more detail, but her face is what really stands out as it’s a terrible likeness, luckily Hasbro came out with a Wasp figure so you can do a head and hair swap to achieve Evangeline Lily’s likeness. The robes again prevent movement so a slice up the sides would help. Lastly she’s too small, so leg swaps with Eowyn are key. I feel as if I review and critique these Hobbit figures more harshly, but I am glad we got them as without them we’d be starting from scratch making them, but it is worth telling people what to expect and unfortunately these Hobbit figures don’t hold a candle to the Lotr ones, though Bilbo, Thorin, Radagast and Azog come pretty close to what you’d expect if they carried on a new line. Overall I’d say she’s the beat of the two elf figures in this scale we got but needs improvement.
