With less than 6 months left before the release of Peter Jackson's blockbuster movie, the "Lord Of The Rings" merchandising blitz is moving into overdrive.
However, if this is a taste of what we're in for, I doubt anybody will be complaining.
Earlier this year, Italian company SRC, famous across Europe for their "Lucky Irish Leprechaun" figures, sold exclusively on cable Channel QVC, seemed to be in serious financial
trouble when, due to a computer error, they mass produced 5,000,000 figures instead of 500. However they now seem to have turned the corner with a fantastic
range of Lord of the Rings figurines.
The first to be released, Bilbo Baggins is lovingly reproduced in high-quality polyrockstone. Every figure is hand finished with meticulous
care. Be amazed at the intricate detail in his clothing from his top hat down to his dwarf boots. Beautifully hand painted by experienced craftsmen, these figures
are a delight to treasure and will surely become much-valued family heirlooms which will increase in value once the movie is released.
Playing on a mithril encrusted Elvish lyre, Bilbo is seen partying at Rivendell. The Hobbitish sense of fun has been delightfully captured in this breathtaking
collectible work of art from one of Europe's top trinket studios.
Presented in a stunning protective display case and standing on a genuine faux-gold mount, hand polished to a beautiful lustre, this will give pleasure for years to come,
whether you buy it as a gift for a loved one or a treat for yourself.
