Today, in the production blog from Sideshow Collectibles we get the full preview of the Snow Troll from this falls upcoming TheLord of the Rings: War in the North. That includes how awesome this collectible looks as well as the price of the statue. As we can see from these pictures the Snow Troll is massive in size and very detailed from skull mask he’s wearing all the way through the Dwarf he is crushing with his hand. The Snow Troll will cost $325 and only have a NRD if you decide to order two or more of this particular statue. Also as with many pieces from Sideshow Collectibles you will also have the option of using Flex Pay if you want to spread out your payments. Finally, no edition size and no exclusive announcement was made in this weeks production blog update. Make sure you’re around your computer or smart phone Thursday between 2-3pm PST so you don’t miss a chance to own this insanely cool The Lord of the Rings collectible. Check out all the pictures here in Sideshow Collectibles Production Blog.

In 2010, the artisans at Weta, brought to life through help of the members of the Shadow and Flame forum, one of the most well 
loved places in Middle-Earth. That place would be none other the hole under the hill, Bag End. The home of Bilbo and Frodo Baggins would finally be turned into something The Lord of the Rings fans could bring into their collection.
Weta would not settle though for just making one version of Bag End for collectors to choose. They would go out and make a traditional open edition, and for the collector who wanted just a little bit more they also made a Collector’s Edition. The difference between the two types is the collectors edition has an edition size of 1,111 to help honor Bilbo’s 111th birthday, and on the backside of the environment you also get some truly finely sculpted rooms in Bag End.
Oh and by the way, you can win one of these if you enter our naming competition with Weta for the brand new Orthanc Environment.
