The nephew of Theoden, king of Rohan, Eomer led the armies of Rohan well until the wizard Gandalf healed Théoden of his weakness. Theoden once again took command of his kingdom, and after fighting against the Uruk-hai of Saruman, Theoden marshaled all his people to march to Gondor's aid. Eomer rode as second-in-command, leading his eored against the forces of Mordor bravely. Upon the death of his uncle the king, Eomer became the king of Rohan. He later journeyed with Aragorn and the free soldiers of Middle-Earth to challenge the dark lord Sauron before the Black Gate. Victory was achieved, Aragorn was crowned king of Gondor, and the two kingdoms renewed their friendship.
Eomer comes with his coronation outfit, which includes his normal battle armor, but overtop was worn a regal cloak. His face is calm and noble, which is somewhat of a welcome change over the mouth wide open pose from the Two Towers edition. His sword hangs at his side. The cloak is actually unique from the other Lord of the Rings figure cloaks -- it wraps around his shoulders, it does not clasp.
Excellent facial likeness and sculpt, excellent armor. Pretty good articulation -- the pauldrons (shoulder guards) make entire arm swiveling a little difficult. Relatively easy to stand on his own, with or without cloak.
