Me, I am a fully paid up Hugo Weaving nut at present, and I suppose I really shouldn’t say anything about my mum’s cutout either to be honest, as I have a near-life-size Hugo cutout thing that was an advert for one of the Matrix films.  I live alone though and own my flat, so I shove whatever posters etc. I like about the place. It looks at the moment like a shrine to Elrond and The Matrix trilogy, but actually that is mainly to save me having to redo the wallpaper. 
My mum is quite sweet though with her OB obsession. She’s the assistant headmistress of a local primary school, 5 to 11 year olds, and they all think it’s wonderful because she likes the same thing as them. The little kids keep downloading her Legolas stuff from the net. It also makes birthdays, mother’s days and Christmas fairly easy to buy gifts for as well.

I must say that I am very fortunate in this regard. Not only do I own at least 4 Legolas Action figures (different ones) of which 3 were presents of fellow fans and a poster of Leggy, but also 3 T-shirts and other small LOTR stuff, as well as my very dear Ringwraiths . The 4th Leggy Action figure was a gift of my husband, who also supllies me with LOTR DVD'sand other OB/VM Movies. He puts up very patiently with my writing, fangirlish time investment (in at least 2 fanfiction archives and other websites, both for Legolas and OB).
Lets say, he sees it as a hobby of mine and doesn't object to it.
BUt then, I am not swooning 24/7, but only now and then. And yes, you bet I am old enought o know better and my eldest kid, 7 years old, is a die hard Elf-fan (though she prefers Arwen than Leggy) as well as an Eowyn-groupie.
We respect everybody's fanships in the house. Though I wouldn't dream of pinning an OB poster enywhere in my house ...
Leggy is fine. Harmless enough.

Erm, speaking of action figures...
Is it ok to have every single (and I truly mean every single) LotR action figure? As long as you pretend they are for your son? 
Thats not obsession, right? Its good, creative parenting!

I don't let my son touch them. They're "mommy's toys."

BB - I thought that was why we got the toys for the kids, so we can play with them too!

| I have a mantelpiece full of LOTR figures, including my collection of Elronds from various sources, like Burger King. And a few elves dotted around the computer desk at the moment. Like I said, I live alone. I can’t pretend they are anything other than toys for me. My favourite has to be my talking Sauron though. Hours of fun. |

Talking Sauron!
"You cannot hide!"
"I see you!"
"There is no life" *pause* "In the void!"
So cool.

Favorite action figure everyone? Sauron is cool - but the troll takes the cake. Mine's hat fell off (after I tried to take it off) anybody else have that problem? I mean delicate toys
Of course, there is not a toy in the world that I cannot somehow manage to destroy.

| I do have an action figure, It's glued to the dashboard of my car. My hubbie, is actually quite a LOTR fan as well, so he kindof gets it, but, he can't even sleep with the closet door open, let alone a life sized stand up of my favorite elf. We have our office as a movie room, so there are posters in it. I just don't kiss them every night before I go to bed. (any more) PS that is exactly why you buy the kids the toys. So you can steal them and make them kiss your barbies! |

My favourite one hasn’t arrived yet. I’ve got the new Elrond one ordered and they say it will be delivered in June. June is fast flying away and it hasn’t come yet. I want the new Gil-Galad one as well. Mum has all the Legolas figures but doesn’t take them out of the boxes. Keeping them mint or something. I’m still trying to get hold of a Wormtongue one from eBay.
I also quite like my Arwen figure but haven’t yet figured out why the Evenstar thing glows bright orange. |

I can't buy the action figures. Every time I see them I flash back to when FotR was out and Orlando was on Graham Norton (frighteningly camp British chat show) and ended up, and I quote his own words, "playing with himself". Then Cybil Shepherd had the Leggy doll down her top moving the action bits with her boobs.
I can't look at them any more without being alternatively in fits of giggles and traumatised.

Well, now I don't feel so silly admitting that I've painted and rerooted some Ken dolls to make Legolas and the Twins. Not quite so silly, anyway.

You MUST tell me if there is some place I can see that  Surely somebody has it posted on the web somewhere?

I have some screen caps somewhere I think...
And I caught it again last year on a "Best of..." show.
