With New York City Toy Fair starting in less than two weeks, the movie studios are starting to announce what will be on display at the convention.  If you're a toy collector, it's Christmas, because you get to see almost everything that will be arriving over the course of the year.  And for movie fans, it's also great, as you get first looks at the costumes and gadgets that have been under wraps during the entire production.  While the studios are usually great at keeping everything under wraps, Toy Fair offers the fans a lot of answers.Anyway, Warner Bros. Consumer Products just sent over a number of images of some of their Hobbit and Dark Knight Rises items that will be on display.  While we posted some of the items last night, we've now got high resolution looks at the Funko line of Wacky Wobler's and Pop Heroes, and we've also got a Dark Knight Chess Set, Thinkway Toys U-Command Batpod, and The Noble Collection's The One Ring 10k Solid Gold Edition.  Hit the jump for the images. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey With the first Hobbit movie arriving later this year, I'd expect a lot more merchandise to be announced very soon.  But for now, here's the Noble Collection's The One Ring 10k Solid Gold Edition.  No word on price.  I've also included the official synopsis for the first film.  The second Hobbit film arrives December 2013.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and The Hobbit: There and Back Again, productions of New Line Cinema and MGM, follow the journey of Bilbo Baggins, who is unexpectedly swept into an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor which was long ago conquered by the dragon Smaug. Approached out of the blue by the wizard Gandalf the Grey, Bilbo finds himself joining a company of 13 dwarves led by the legendary warrior, Thorin Oakenshield. Their journey will take them into the Wild through treacherous lands swarming with Goblins and Orcs, deadly Wargs and Giant Spiders, Shapeshifters and Sorcerers.

Man of Steel

While Warner Bros. has yet to release any toy images of Zack Snyder's Man of Steel, I'd imagine at this year's Comic-Con we're going to be able to check out a lot of cool stuff.  Until then, here's the official synopsis:
