Well. I'll do this as quickly as possible so as to avoid kind of derailing your naive little thread. Basically you have asort of hit it. In his lifetime J R R Tolkien sold the rights of the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit to a company which has now sold its rights to the Saul Zentz Company, to the Middle Earth Enterprises (formerly Tolkien Enterprises) which sells the rights for films, stage productions, model-producing lines (eg GW), computer games etc, but can only ever sell LotR and the Hobbit. All of Tolkien's posthumous work including the Silmarilion and the Childrem of Hurin is owned instead by the Tolkien Estate, a different company and one that is run by Christopher Tolkien. Unlike Middle Earth Enteprises, the Tolkien Estate has a firm line on only ever producing things exactly as Tolkien wrote them. Here is a quote taken directly from the Tolkien Estate website:
Quote:
The Estate exists to defend the integrity of J.R.R. Tolkien’s writings. Christopher Tolkien's work as his father’s literary executor has always been to publish as faithfully and honestly as possible his father's completed and uncompleted works, without adaptation or embellishment.
Thus, as long as Christopher Tolkien is in charge of the Tolkien Estate, these posthumous works will never be sold to anyone. Here is a link to their temporary homepage:

In fact if they produced 1000 differently posed Werewolves, I'd make it my personal aim to buy all of them, including both Draugluin and Carcaroth. I would also be interested in early Sauron models (including his werewolf and vampire incarnations), I would also be interested in Morgoth the Dark Lord, Ungloiant the Great Spider, Maeglin the Dark Elf, Gl;auring, Father of the Dragons, Ancaglon the Black, all 1st Age Black Numenoreans and Easterlings including Bor, Ulfang, Brodda etc, and in Gothmog, Lord of the Balrogs, and more of his kin, especially if they look different.
