Play Along Toys AOME LOTR Battle Scenes Orthanc Chamber at Isengard #48302 (2003) - Pt 2 Saruman the White

As far as I know, this was the only rendition of Saruman by Play Along that I'm aware of, unlike Gandalf who had at least three separate versions.

Each figure has his own base with the figure's name underneath. The curved portion of the base matches the diameter of the central floor piece.

I've been showing these patrol boats plying the waterways of southeast Asia, but this time opted for a Mediterranean theme.

Play Along Toys AOME LOTR Battle Scenes Orthanc Chamber at Isengard #48302 (2003) - Pt 1 Box and Contents

Okay, time to re-engage with the Play Along Toys AOME LOTR goodies now that Halloween is over and most of the holiday train layout is finished. As for that, there will be a couple/few more posts of the layout in the coming weeks as well as separate posts on the various LEGO Harry Potter builds that went into it.

For today though, let's start looking at this 'Orthanc Chamber at Isengard' Battle Scene set from Play Along Toys. This is the scene in the movie where Saruman shows his full betrayal to the peoples of Middle Earth to Gandalf and pronounces his allegiance to Sauron. A fight ensues, and Gandalf is made prisoner of the now evil Saruman. The set includes a multi-layer chamber, Saruman's Palantir and throne, and figures of Saruman, Gandalf the Grey, and Grima Wormtongue.

Multiple Toymakers #854 PT Torpedo Boat

Here's a nice boxed example of Multiple Toymakers Torpedo Boat. It appears to be missing a couple of the accessories like the life preserver, and a torpedo, but the box is in pretty decent shape and that makes it a winner for me. The box art indicates only one torpedo launcher came with the boat and the MG's were more than likely later replacements as the originals would probably have been blue to match the other accessories.

Back to Hogwarts: LEGO Mini-figs Sirius Black (with Wand and Ball and Chain) #75945

Here's a nice LEGO mini-fig of Sirius Black in his Azkaban garb that I got from Amazon. It is a bit strange that he has a wand but hey, it was included with the figure so it's included in the photos. I s'pose the story is, he broke out of Azkaban, left the ball and chain behind, and stole the wand from a Snatcher perhaps? Oh well, obviously, if he ends up being included in an Azkaban cell setup, the wand wouldn't be included.
