Is it just me, or is there perhaps a bit of design homage in the grossly distended chin of the Goblin King of Peter Jackson's new Hobbit film, and those of the goblins in the Rankin/Bass production of The Hobbit?

The chin doesn't bother me, but those floppy pink nipples are giving me the creeps.
It looks like Lord Witherball's sack.
A disturbing idea intrudes. What if this Great Goblin is, in Phillipa Boyens fevered imagination, a Goblin QUEEN, no less than the dowager of Azog and mother of Bolg? It would give the Goblins a lot more reason to attack the Dwarves at the Lonely Mountain. The actor who plays this character is best known for his crossdress persona, Dame Edna.
