(sorry MK, I know that doesn't help you much ) I think that may be exactly what this is. I know that Toy Biz had a set of LOTR figures released back in 2001 after doing an ebay search.

I havent got the accessories but the sword and dagger sheaths look very LOTR-ish. Quote: Nazgul Toy Biz Figure bingo! that must be the one (or from the same line of figures). i dont understand the Marvel Inc. stamped on his foot but perhaps they had the license to produce these action figures, i dunno. Aha! now i notice there's another stamp that says NLP Inc. NLP = New Line Productions, Peter Jackson's production company. yes, this is it... damn! what a shame people always loose the accessories... i'd love to have those weapons! Quote: The Ringwraith comes with a long sword and a shorter Morgul blade, and has sheathes for both. Press a button on this back, and he plunges the sword in his right hand forward. Additionally, the blade of the Morgul retracts, to simulate stabbing his prey. It's a well-designed and implemented action feature like this that really sets a figure above the rest; despite having to design around the action, the look and pose of the figure are not compromised, highlighting the work ToyBiz put into this line. Standing 6 3/4" tall, and with 12 points of articulation, the Ringwraith is a terrifically evil character, but a great addition to your collection and one of my favorite figures of the year.
