Black Gates of Mordor
By Brian Crawmer
I got this set on my birthday and I have a whole bunch of other guys. My friend that lives accross the street has some, too. We really like to play with them. Now I'm going to review each figure in the set.Lets start with my favorite, Aragorn: He is wearing his Gondorian clothes and he's got his Elvish hunting knife and Anduril. He doesn't have any action but he's got something like an action. He can hold his sword in both hands. The Aragorn in this set is the newest release. The diferences in him from the first one are: his costume is more detailed, his hair is browner, his joints are stronger and his face is a re-paint.Gandalf: The thing I like best about Gandalf is his hair; he's practically the only Gandalf with white hair. Also, his staff isn't as fat as the Two Towers version. His staff thrusting action is much better than any other one I've seen. He also has a cloth cloak and his Glamduring is much stronger.Legolas: Even though he is a re-pack of the FOTR version he is good. He's got his Mirkwood bow but as the other reviewer said, I think they put him in because he's the only Legolas with an action and he's got really blonde hair.Gimli: He also is a re-pack of the FOTR version. He's got a helm and he has a hatchet, throwing axe, walking axe and a double-headed battle axe. If you put one of the smaller axes in his right hand and squeeze his legs he can throw them.The Mouth of Sauron: This set is the only set that you can get the MOS in. He comes with a horse that has galloping action. The MOS, himself doesn't have action but he has a real cloth cape. The only letdown is that his sword is a little too short for him.Why I gave the set five stars for educational value is because it teaches people to use their imagination.

This is a great gift pack. I love ToyBiz's LOTR figures, and this was definitely worth it.It includes four previously released figures (Aragorn, Legolas Gimli and Gandalf), and also one new figure. THE MOUTH OF SAURON!!Now, lets review each figure.LEGOLAS:He is a re-release of the FOTR figure. I have no idea why they decided to put him in rather than the ROTK Legolas in Rohan armor, but they did. (Perhaps because he is the only Legolas with an action feature.) However, he has a better paint job on his face, and his hair is more blonde than the original. He has dagger-slashing action.GIMLI:I do not have the original Gimli figure, but this is the one from FOTR. He is a nice figure, though. His face sculpt is right on, and his axes are awesome. He comes with a cape, and a removable helmet. He has axe-hacking action.ARAGORN:This is one of the nicest figures in the set, even if he is a repack. He is the Super Poseable Aragorn from ROTK, with some slight changes. His face is repainted, and looks slightly better than the original. He comes with the reforged sword Anduril, and his elvish dagger. His gondor armor is really nice and detailed. This is the best Aragorn figure out there, and a nice addition to the set.GANDALF:Once again, I did not have the original figure. I have seen it though, and I can tell you that this is the Gandalf from the ROTK line, but his hair is actually white this time. His face is very nice, and looks very similiar to the Gandalf from the movies. He comes with his sword and his staff, and has sword-slashing action.THE MOUTH OF SAURON.This guy is the main attraction. Now for the full review.This is my favorite from the set. He comes on a horse, so he is basically a horse-and-rider set. His face and head are great. However, like the previous reviewer said, his body is a bit lacking. As soon as I took him out of the pack, before his arm had been touched in any way, it fell off. I got it back on, but thats sorta wierd. He can stand up fine, though. The figure just looks very nice. His robes and cape are cloth, and are ragged and torn. He has a sword that is all black. His horse is fully armored and is equally detailed. The figure is really quite good, and is probably worth buying the set just for this figure.Overall, a nice set. If you are just starting your collection, gift sets like this are a good way to get going.

By Chris from California
"There came a long rolling of great drums like thunder in the mountains, and then the braying of horns that shook the very stones and stunned men's ears. And thereupon the door of the Black Gate was thrown open with a great clang, and out of it came an embassy from the Dark Tower.And at its head there rode a tall and evil shape, mounted upon a black horse, if horse it was; for it was huge and hideous, and its face was a frightful mask, more like a skull than a living head, and it the sockets of its eyes and in its nostril there burned a flame. The rider was robed all in black, and black was his lofty helm; yet this was no Ringwraith but a living man. The Lieutenant of the Tower of Barad-dûr he was, and his name is remembered in no tale; for he himself had forgotten it, and he said: `I am the Mouth of Sauron.'"Unfortunately this scene could not make it to the theatrical version of Peter Jackson's Oscar-winning film. However, thanks to the extended version DVD to be released this fall we'll get to see it.For those collecting the action figures from the films, let me tell you that from the top of his spiky helm and grimacing mouth down to the mud-splattered forelegs of his horse, the Mouth of Sauron™ with Steed from the Black Gate of Mordor Gift Pack by Toy Biz does not disappoint! The other figures--Gandalf the White, Aragorn with Andúril Sword, Gimli, and Legolas--can each be purchased separately, but the only way to obtain the Mouth of Sauron is by purchasing this set. It's worth it!
