1. Trip to Middle-earth
One thing is clear from listening to the actors, cast and crew who worked on The Lord of the Rings during its eighteen-month shoot in New Zealand, and that is that it is one of the most enchanting and beautiful places in the world. Once filming of The Lord of the Rings had ended in 2001, the people in charge of tourism in New Zealand began to use the movie project as a means to promote the country they loved so dearly, knowing that many people would want to visit the awe-inspiring locations seen in the trilogy. Red Carpet Tours offers many various package tours of New Zealand, visting actual locations used in PJ's movies and offers all fans the chance to visit the nearest thing to Middle-earth itself on our own Earth. [BUY] 2. The Alan Lee Litograph and Filmstrip
Not many people can claim that they own one of Alan Lee's masterpiece paintings, and even less can admit to owning a piece of film from The Fellowship of the Ring; this amazing collectible gives you the chance to proudly claim an affirmative to both. One of Sideshow/Weta's most unique items, this framed piece exhibits one of Alan Lee's paintings of Rivendell over an actual film cell from The Fellowship of the Ring. Combining the contrasting mediums of paint and film, this item not only caters for a broad spectrum of fans but is beautifully presented so that any lucky owner can place it strategically on the mantlepiece next time guests come over to visit. [BUY] 3. The Three Wizards
When Peter Jackson failed to win the Oscar for Best Director this year at the Academy Awards, there was an uproar of protests from friends and colleagues who worked with him on The Lord of the Rings project over its long and still extending years. No man has put so much into one film project as him, and this framed image of himself, Sir Ian McKellen and Christopher Lee CBE in between scenes during The Fellowship of the Ring not only captures Jackson in his element but is a rather symbolic image; Peter Jackson walking in the company of Wizards. [BUY] 4. The Balrog
It was always going to be a difficult task for Sideshow/Weta to sculpt such an incredibly complex creature such as the Balrog, something with Weta FX themselves found so hard to realise on the screen. Luckily enough however Sideshow/Weta have outdone themselves, creating an incredibly beautiful piece which not only encapsulates the look of the Balrog itself but the fire and ash that gives it its distinctive features. [BUY] 5. Collector's Chess Set
If you are an avid fan of The Lord of the Rings or a serious chess player, this could just be the gift for you. With ancient map of Middle-earth mounted below the playing surface, and a stylised base featuring images, characters and scenes from the movies, there is no doubt that even the board itself is a fantastic piece of work. However it is the exquisitively-detailed chess pieces themselves that make this set; 32 playing pieces that are precise miniature sculptures in fine pewter of the actual actors used in the movie themselves. A fantastic gift for any Lord of the Rings fan to give or receive. [BUY] 6. Sting
Passed down to Frodo from Bilbo who happened to find it in a troll-cave during his adventures in The Hobbit, the sword nicknamed Sting is one of the most important, historic and identifiable weapons used in The Lord of the Rings. If you were to buy only one sword replica from The Lord of the Rings, this is the one to buy for the simple reason that Noble Collection have done an incredible job of replicating the Elven blade which is without a doubt the most aesthetically beautiful sword in the trilogy. [BUY] 7. The Lord of the Rings Middle-earth Adult Watch
This limited edition watch from New Line features a map of Middle-earth and the official Lord of the Rings logo on a burgundy face. The watch uses a cutting-edge three-hand quartz movement, has a smooth black genuine leather strap and comes packaged in a wooden keepsake box with the Lord of the Rings logo burned on the lid containing a map of Middle-earth printed on parchment, and a Certificate of Authenticity. Limited to only 3,000 models, this gift is both affordable, beautiful and practical for day-to-day use. [BUY] 8. The One Ring
When PJ and his faithful crew were faced with the challenge of designing the One Ring for the silver screen, they had to create something that would be simplistic, as Tolkien described it in his literature, and beautiful; New Line's official replica of the One Ring is both. At a reasonable price and outstanding quality, there is perhaps no better replica to buy from the movie than the actual item the whole journey itself is based around; a must buy for all Ringers. [BUY] 9. Sam & Bill the Pony
One of the tenderest relationships in J.R.R Tolkien's trilogy is that of Samwise Gamgee and Bill the Pony. Unfortunately due to the nature of the medium, many of the scenes illustrating Sam's love for this poorly-treated beast of burden did not make it into the screenplay for The Fellowship of the Ring. However, those farmiliar with the books will realise the close kinship that existed between the pair, which is personified by this beautiful piece from Sideshow/Weta. For Samwise and Bill fans alike. [BUY] 10. Limited Edition Battle At Khazad-dûm
This beautifully crafted piece of work crafted from pewter by Royal Selangor depicts Gandalf's stand-off with the Balrog at the Bridge of Khazad-dûm in Moria, and is limited in number. [BUY] |
