This week has already been a fun one for Hobbit fans thanks to the new trailer for the next movie, but The Bridge Direct just made it even better by fully revealing the San Diego Comic Con exclusive Azog figure.

The Hobbit line was a big hit last year, and it's been a very long wait for new figures to hit retail stores. If you're headed to SDCC, your long wait until this Fall will be eased by the awesome show exclusive revealed below. It's a gruesome new take on Azog that would never be seen on toy store shelves, making it perfect for the convention scene and movie fans looking for an eye-catching collectible. You can read all the details from The Bridge Direct below, and check out the figure in all its gory detail (click for full size image).

SAN DIEGO COMIC-CON 2013 EXCLUSIVE HOBBIT COLLECTOR FIGURE AZOG 7” tall Orc Commander Azog comes in a numbered, limited edition of 2,600 pieces. Azog is depicted as he appears in the prologue scene from The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. In the battle between the dwarves and an army of orcs to reclaim Moria, Azog holds the severed head of the dwarf King Thror up in victory. The figure comes with interchangeable hands – the right hand that holds Thror’s head can be replaced with a hand capable of holding either his dagger or mace, and the left hand can be switched with the prosthetic spikes that replaced the hand he lost to Thorin’s sword. For those of you attending Comic-Con, we hope you plan to visit The Bridge Direct / Weta Booth#3513B and take home one of these incredible collectibles!

I made it no secret that I was hoping for a Smaug SDCC exclusive, but knew in my heart it was practically impossible. Azog is no Smaug, but he still looks pretty cool. The new accessories definitely make this the ultimate version of the character, and being able to pose him iconically with dwarf head in hand is a fun opportunity that never would've happened if we had to rely on the retail line. The packaging is a bit underwhelming for the typical flashiness of SDCC exclusives, but it's secondary to the figure anyway.

With only 2,600 of these being made, I suspect it'll be a popular prize for collectors. You might want to snatch up Azog as quickly as you can, lest your young Hobbit collection find itself missing a key piece so early in its lifespan. Just head to Booth #3513B or keep your eye on the DASH Marketplace to grab him.
