Description: Locations and sites of interest sfrom The Lord Of The Rings film trilogy. An awesome overview of The Lord Of The Rings film locations in New Zealand - Daniel Falconer's map covers the length and breadth of New Zealand and pinpoints how Tolkien's Middle-earth transplants to the geography of New Zealand. The size is A3, it's printed on nice heavy stock and it ships rolled up and protected in a cardboard tube.  Whether it be Weathertop or Amon Hen you want to visit, you will be able to find it on this map.

Description: For Hobbits-at-heart everywhere, here's a wonderful piece of The Lord Of The Rings to wear with pride - like a Hobbit. Drawn from the original molds that Frodo Baggins' (Elijah Wood's) ears were drawn from for the Lord Of The Rings trilogy, these prosthetics are as authentic as can be. Hand made at Weta Workshop by Makeup Supervisor Frances Hawker and her team. Made from latex, they can be blended to look like part of your anatomy for your next costume event or convention. These are Frodo's ears and are slighty smaller than Sam's ears. They measure 3.1in (80mm) from the bottom of the earlobe to the "top of the tip". The distance between where your earlobe meets your cheek and where the top of your ear meets your temple is 1.7in (45mm). See the enlarged image for more info on how to measure. If your ears are larger than this, you should get Sam's Ears instead.

Description: For Hobbits-at-heart everywhere, here's a wonderful piece of The Lord Of The Rings to wear with pride - like a Hobbit.Drawn from the original molds that Samwise Gamgee's (Sean Astin's) ears were drawn from for the Lord Of The Rings trilogy, these prosthetics are as authentic as can be. Hand made at Weta Workshop by Makeup Supervisor Frances Hawker and her team. Made from latex, they can be blended to look like part of your anatomy for your next costume event or convention. These are Sam's ears and are slighty larger than Frodo's ears. They measure 3.3in (84mm) from the bottom of the earlobe to the "top of the tip". The distance between where your earlobe meets your cheek and where the top of your ear meets your temple is 2.4in (60mm). See the enlarged image for more info on how to measure. If your ears are larger than this, you should get Frodo's Ears instead.

Description: Tortured and wrought wretched by the lure of the One Ring, Gollum is a withered, piteous creature. Driven mad and twisted by his loss of the One Ring decades ago, he is compelled to haunt Middle-earth, searching everywhere for the only thing in the world he ever cared for, his "Precious". Once lost to the most unlikely of creatures, Bilbo Baggins, a hobbit of the Shire. The most iconic creature from The Lord Of The Rings movie trilogy, Gollum was also a technological breakthrough. Sculpted by Weta Workshop, superbly acted by Andy Serkis whose motions were captured and then masterfully rendered for the cinema by Weta Digital. No The Lord Of The Rings collection is complete without a Gollum and we are very pleased to be able to offer this. This open edition piece was sculpted by Daniel Cockersell and created by the same artists and craftspeople who helped bring The Lord Of The Rings trilogy to life.

Description: Nestled in the gently rolling green hills of the Shire is the village of Hobbiton, a sleepy assemblage of stone buildings and burrows, home to the diminutive Hobbits. Overlooking the village from the hill at the end of Bagshot Row is Bag End, the stately underground abode of Bilbo Baggins, an eccentric Hobbit widely acknowledged about town as having cracked some years ago, and his cousin and ward Frodo Baggins, who is certainly in the process of cracking. Created by some of the same artists and craftsmen who work on our movies, like Daniel Falconer, David Tremont, Daniel Cockersell and several others. It's a real team effort to produce a piece like this. Click here for more info and images.

Description: Collector's Edition - with interior! The special Collector's Edition features the interiors of the rooms of Bag End on the back of the piece, based on the original plans and drawings used in Peter Jackson's trilogy. The front door is also ajar to show the paved floor of the entrance hall of Bilbo's abode. It has had the nod of approval by Dan Hennah, John Howe and Alan Lee who were jointly responsible for the Bag End set. Bag End - Collector's Edition is limited to 1,111 world wide.
