After a long long time searching for the elusive 2001 Toy Biz Toy fair catalog, I can finally say its home. The catalog was produced yearly by Toy Biz and had the proposed products that they planned to releases that year. This was given out at places like NY Toy Fair to industry players. Check out our catalog gallery to see 2001-2005 Toy Biz Catalogs!
This Toy Biz Lord of the Rings Dagger Throwing Legolas (shown above), was never released. I had hoped that it might be in the first catalog, and after all these years, I was right!! This test shot Legolas differs from the first released version, as it had a sheath molded into him, on his back to the right side. A dagger was attached, and was supposed to be a "Dagger Throwing"(as announced in catalog above), instead of the Dagger Slashing one that was later released.
I have attached some pics of the box art, that shows the early version. It had 5 action sections on the back. The later release had 3. This is one on the few unreleased prototypes to make it to the test shot phase before cancel.
