MAJOR SPOILERS ALERT!!!

	Minas Tirith Metropolitan Museum: Arms and Armor Wing. Would you want to meet these suits in battle? Notice the Hands on the center figure? The mark of Saruman?
	Dwarven transformation, complete with battle helmet.
	Motion Capture. Looks like a troll or simlarly-sized despicable creature in the works.
