"THE HOBBIT" (4) "The Great Gobelin" (MITHRIL M141)

Another great character of 'The Hobbit": a very good figure from Mithril, in my opinion.
If you've seen the movie (I don't yet!), you can make a comparison with the one of it.

What's a Goblin ? in fact, Tolkien used this name in the book but after in the LoTR, he  used the "orc" name. So a goblin IS an orc, maybe a little bit different race of the ethnic group:

"The Great Goblin was a Goblin chieftain of the Misty Mountains. The Great Goblin was a very large creature with a huge head. He was the chief of a group of goblins (apparently a smaller type of orc) who lived in Goblin-Town near the High Pass. They preyed on travellers  who used another, easier pass near the main gate of Goblin-town until people started avoiding that route over the mountains. The goblins then made another gate that opened into a cave that they called the Front Porch, at the top of the High Pass. The Great Goblin also sometimes ordered his goblins to catch fish for him in Gollum's lake, and these goblins were sometimes killed by Gollum.... "(source link)

For the end: a little "reminder" of what I've wrote in a precedent post:
