(Reply to the thread in general: thank Tim at FBTB.net, they're not my
scans. I'm just the messenger.)

The scene in question takes place in a washroom-- so yes, sink or toilet is
it. The large character is a troll (shown briefly in some current US TV
commercials, also seen in the action figure aisle for a few weeks now).
Don't know what's going on with the orange head-piece.

I was surprised (and depressed) at how little excitement I felt. As a SW
fan, I can understand that the big guns are being saved for Spring-- that's
fine. But as a general Lego fan who misses "System", as it were, I saw
almost nothing to get me excited. It is strange to me, after 6+ years of
watching online for new catalog news every time October rolled around, to
feel so underwhelmed.

Heh. :) The "quest" figures in outline do look interesting, and I wonder
what scale they are. Is this more fuel for the "death of the mini-fig"
fire? Regardless, I have a bad feeling that the reality won't live up to
the somewhat exciting product my imagination has created based on those
character silhouettes. But presumably this new theme/product is another
story-driven in-house effort following on the efforts of Bionicle.
