This is a newly announced 3-piece PVC figure set from Dark Horse Direct, based on Ralph Bakshi’s 1978 animated The Lord of the Rings film.
It features Merry (Meriadoc Brandybuck), Pippin (Peregrin Took), and Boromir as they appear in the classic rotoscope-animated adaptation. Sculpted by Chris Dahlberg and painted by J.W. Productions, the figures capture the distinctive stylized look of the 1978 movie.
Key Details:
Heights: Merry ≈ 5″ H, Pippin ≈ 4.4″ H, Boromir ≈ 7.5″ H (Hobbits are smaller, Boromir is the tallest).
Materials: PVC / Vinyl.
Set Price: $89.99 regular; pre-order for $79.99 (save $10). Pair with the Frodo/Aragorn/Samwise set for $15 off total.

The set evokes the dramatic scene where Boromir, tempted by the One Ring, ultimately protects Merry and Pippin.
