Tolkien Construction Toys

Traditional block construction toys are dominated by the classic Lego, however the Lord of the Rings movie triggered various construction toys.

There is a specific blog dedicated to Tolkien construction toys called Tolkienbricks, however this covers more than just commercial products.

Intelliblox (Playmates)
This is a small series based on the Fellowship movie. The figures included are actually more like toy soldiers.
