Smaug (Le Hobbit)

A furious dragon

The dragon created by Peter Jackson in the movies is very faithful to the one described in the novel by Tolkien. Funko, on the other hand, has done a good job of making a pop! version that is very similar to the one in the movie. As in the movie, Smaug is dark red with a slightly lighter chest. In order to stick to the usual proportions of pop figures, the dragon is super sized (15 cm), represented sitting, his bat-like wings folded behind his back. The scaly texture of his body is finely represented but the most successful and detailed part of this character is probably his head. Funko has nicely arranged the various spikes and horns that add to the fierce and reptilian side of the character. This time they gave him a mouth that reveals two nice rows of spiky teeth as well as a real snout instead of the usual small triangular nose. Like most pop figures, his eyes are black but this time not quite round to give him that angry expression. Smaug is also available in an exclusive version with yellow eyes and an even rarer one with the body entirely golden, referring to one of the scenes in the movie.

The Scourge of Erebor

Smaug is a character from the novel Bilbo The Hobbit” by J.R.R. Tolkien and the film trilogy by Peter Jackson which is the adaptation. Although he is at the center of the story, Smaug has only a short time on the screen, at the end of the second part and the beginning of the third. Smaug is a dragon who was drawn to the dwarf kingdom of Erebor under the Lonely Mountain. Indeed, Thror, king of Erebor, had become sickly obsessed with collecting more and more treasure. Attracted by the smell of all that gold, Smaug attacked the kingdom and the neighboring city of Dale and took possession of the kingdom and its treasure. At the beginning of the Hobbit story, Thorin, heir to Thror, puts together a team of 13 dwarves, Gandalf the wizard and the hobbit Bilbo to go and reclaim his heritage. Smaug is particularly huge and powerful but like all dragons, he is also greedy and very full of himself.
