LOTR: Return of the King: EE Color?

Masamune · 04-26-03, 04:48 PM

FOTR - Green
Two Towers - Red
ROTK - ???

Has it been said what the color is? It's a minor thing, but I am just curious if there's a reason for the colors for each EE cover. Maybe they are getting the colors from the old books.

Keep spoilers for ROTK out of here tho please. I haven't read the book, and I want to be surprised. I am just curious on what the color could be. Guesses are allowed. My guess would be maybe brown, orange, or a dull yellow.

I think it's gonna look like what teletubbie throw up might look like.

Meh.

arthur_dent · 04-26-03, 06:29 PM

well, i'm curious too, and i personally think that it will be blue or yellow. If you look at the main site (www.lordoftherings.net), the color themes are green, yellow, red, and blue. My best guess would be blue to fit into the dark color scheme of the other boxes. also, the toys' packaging should tell us what color it would be since ttt was red packaging for the ttt toys and fotr was green. PLEASE NO SPOILERS!

valkyrie · 04-26-03, 06:44 PM

Do we know for sure that the TTT:EE will be red in color? I've seen the red one, but this one is floating around too. The most I'd give you is "red tint."

Since the specs aren't yet official, I'd suspect the cover design isn't certain yet either.

TomOpus · 04-26-03, 07:39 PM

I think a blue tinted ROTK would be cool.

Jason · 04-26-03, 07:48 PM

I'm guessing blue as well.

Even though we're still 8 months from the theatrical release, I imagine someone has already figured out what the real color will be.

Lazyshu · 04-26-03, 09:12 PM

FOTR book green -EE case green
TTT book red or purple(depending on edition)-EE case red
ROTK book blue - I Assume it will be blue

arthur_dent · 04-26-03, 10:19 PM

I don't see anything wrong with conjecture.

I'd guess blue. dark blue.

I was honestly expecting blue for TTT, since almost the entire movie has a blue-ish tint to it. Red would've been much better suited, IMO, for RotK, since the images we've see so far are all reddish.

Heh, like any of this is going to keep me from buying the sets! Hopefully I can get TTT:EE a week early like I did with FotR.

Fuschia would look good. Or tope. Mauvish-periwinkle, maybe.

Calculon · 04-27-03, 01:18 AM

It's like, how much more black could this be? and the answer is none. None more black.

That would be sweet.

I think it should be ring-colored

...erm.. I believe that should read "taupe" (=French for "mole" - the blind-as-a-bat burrowing animal) - not "tope", which is a verb meaning something altogether different...

An earthy golden-orangish color would be swell.
