Goblin King Toy from THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY
The Goblin King is being played by Barry Humphries in Peter Jackson's The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, and this toy gives us a good look at what the character is going to look like. When it was first announced that Humphries would be playing the Goblin King, Jackson said,
Barry Humphries will be portraying the Goblin King, in much the way Andy Serkis created Gollum... We're looking forward to seeing him invest the Goblin King with the delicate sensitivity and emotional depth this character deserves.
This is a great design for the character, and there's no doubt he will look even better up on the big screen in all his CG animated glory! What do you think of the of the design of the Goblin King?
