Click on the "Gallery" link to view all the released images of toys, both plush and "action figure"

Aslan, the White Witch, the Pevensies, various good and evil Narnians make up the action figure pictures.

In plush, we have huggable versions of Aslan, a unicorn, and Mr. Beaver.

I must have that Mr. Beaver toy. [Big Grin]

Note that these are prototypes, not the finished toys.

Plush. . . Aslan?

Urgh. I knew it would happen. But it's like having a. . . bobble-headed Jesus. Just wrong.

Wait until they make the plush Aslan kiddie bed-slippers, with lion mouths that ROAR every step the kid takes! [Big Grin]

(Kidding, kidding.)

Nonetheless-- I WILL enjoy this movie. I can feel it in my bones.

Oh yes. The version in of the teaser in front of RotS was even better than the online version.

(Aslan looked more "finished" and one could see more detail...the Beaver actually moving their limbs for one thing.)

It looks like it'll be faithful to Lewis yet it's own interpretation of the story.

Plus, it's much more colorful, stylized, clean and magical looking than LotR, for all the claims AICN and other sites are making that it looks like a clone.

Middle Earth is a basically realistic world with fantastical elements added.

Narnia is a fantastical world with realistic things added. And that's the vibe I get from the teaser.

I named my cat Aslan.

The Aslans were also a race of cat-like people in the Traveller roleplaying universe.

"Aslan" is the Persian and Turkish word meaning "lion". [Smile]
