Apologies if you have already seen these but I've just found a range of miniatures that is seemingly designed for the Lord of the Rings. Nicely captures the storybook style of the Hobbit in my opinion.

Alo, for those interested, some 10mm Easterlings to complement the Copplestones range: http://www.tajima1.co.uk/index.asp?pageid=362663

I have Elves from that range. I bought them from the USA direct from the company, who provided good service (quick postage and the cheapest shipping cost they could manage - great communication with them during the order process), but the models were poor when they arrived - lots of flash and great lumps of metal on cloaks, etc. Some models had air-holes in the cloaks (esp the unarmoured ones). I think it's old moulds to be honest. Anyway, I put them in the lead pile and there they have stayed. The armoured ones are the best and I may have a bash at painting those (dead easy with all that mail armour!) but I don't know if I can face the work to make the others useable...
Shame as I think they'd look great for a more 'book-like' Thranduil's Battle of 5 Armies force.

The rest of the range all look good in principle, but I'd be hesitant about ordering more to be honest...

Do they scale well with the GW range?

No, they are bigger and more chunky than most LOTR models by GW and they are a bit static in the poses.However, I don't dislike that, but against some of the more animated GW poses, they'd look a bit odd.
