Hee! Yeah, the Boromir design was terrible. Though I did like Aragorn's busted nose, and I had a kid!crush on Legolas. And wait, there were action figures? I totally missed out!

I'm with you on the Gollum freakery. I had a gorgeous Pauline Baynes map of Middle-Earth poster above my bed; it had a banner above with the Fellowship walking and one below with all the bad guys chasing after. I loved the poster, but the Gollum scared me so much I had to cut out a bit of paper and Blutak it over him in order to sleep at night :D

Sean Bean's Boromir is awesome. My single favourite line in all of 'Fellowship' is his gloriously deadpan "They have a cave troll" in Moria. It's the way he rolls his eyes, like it's just too tedious for words :) And then he does that fabulously casual sword-spinning thing when they're waiting to get swamped by orcs XD
