In other LEGO news, the company has acquired the rights to sell Lord of the Rings playsets starting next June to help compensate for the inevitable losses from their LEGO for girls sets. But fear not, I will buy said LEGO sets for girls and dump them all in a Toys For Tots bin next Christmas. “That’s very noble of you!” Yeah I’m a real prince — OF DARKNESS! MWAHAHAHA-HACK-COUGH *spitting up blood and ramen* Okay that was supposed to be more demonic and less “holy shit, is he dying? Should we call someone?” Warner Bros. Consumer Products has awarded the toymaker the rights to create action figures and playsets based on “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy and the two upcoming films based on “The Hobbit,” the first of which bows at the end of 2012. The multiyear deal grants Lego access to the library of characters, settings and stories of “The Lord of the Rings,” “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” and “The Hobbit: There and Back Again,” all helmed by Peter Jackson. No word if a series of LEGO video games will follow, but if I know one thing about Warner Bros., it’s they like money the company was founded by four Polish immigrant brothers named Wonskolaser. Why the hell would you change that?! Wonskolaser Bros. sounds awesome . Quick, soldiers — ready the Wonskolaser. PEW PEW PEW! Lego lands ‘Hobbit’ toy license [variety] Thanks to Capt. Tom Foolery, who once taped a ‘KICK ME’ sign to his first mate’s back. Oh you!

I thought the whole one ring quote in the title was kind of appropriate because it’s finger art . And where do you wear rings? “I’ve got one stuck on my penis and I’m freaking out!” HA — been there, done that. Just think about Gollum until you’re limp then slip it off. These are some custom fingernail paintings by DeviantARTist Undomiele entitled ‘Enter Mordor’. At first I thought they were just digital, but there’s a video of her actually painting them after the jump. Granted you probably shouldn’t watch it because it’s entirely out of focus, but it is there for you nonbelievers. Me? I’m here for you true believers. Now on the count of three I want you to all drink your Kool-Aid. Hit the jump for the video if you’re interested. WARNING: Mostly out of focus.

This is a series of minimalistic X-Men posters by artist Nicholas Hyde. These and a bunch of other geeky/pop-culture posters (you can see Harry Potter and LOTR after the jump) are available for sale over at Nicholas’ Etsy store if you’re interested. My love? My love is not for sale. My soul, yes, but you’ll have to bargain with the devil for that one. I traded it to him for the sexual prowess of a tiger! Which, fun fact: JUST AN OLD WIVES’ TALE. But did he tell me that? Noooooooo , he’s always gotta be the little f***ing bargain hunter. Up yours, Satin! (he hates it when you call him that) Hit the jump for his Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings posters and a link to the Etsy page.

Remember last week’s Dark Tower/Eye of Sauron LEGO build ? Well it turns out it traveled with friends to the 2011 Brickcon. These are them, starting with an absolutely massive ( like me ) Minas Tirith . I posted a couple more pictures after the jump, but you’ll have to check out the link for more steaming-hot action , including: Hobbiton The town of Bree and the Inn of the Prancing Pony Rivendell The mines of Moria Isengard and the tower of Orthanc The Golden Hall of Edoras The beacon towers Helm’s Deep The Pellinor Fields and Sauron’s armies Osgiliath Minas Morghul The Black Gate of Mordor Mount Doom And the tower of Barad-Dur Holy goggles that’s a lot of Lord of the Rings love. And, speaking of LOTR love — Merry and Pippin. They’re like, you know, really good bros that hold hands and kiss. I’ve got those. Hit the jump for a couple more, but make sure to check out the high-res versions by following the link.

Geekologie Reader Kris went and created an interactive map of Middle Earth from the Lord of the Rings universe (with labels available in English AND Elvish). Good lookin’, Kris. You know, for some reason I always thought Mordor was north and not south. Color me embarrassed! Oh well, you learn something new everyday. Sometimes several things. Cat food makes me ooky! Interactive Middle Earth Map Thanks Kris, now make me an interactive treasure map and let’s scavenger hunt!

Maddie Chambers went and built herself a super impressive looking Bag End hobbit hole dollhouse . It’s amazing. I posted a couple more pictures after the jump, but Maddie has between two and three billion on her website which you should go check out to see the whole thing. My penis? You’d need two more eyes to see the whole thing. Hit it for a couple more shots and another link to Maddie’s website.
