Tolkien collectors are bursting at the seams this week as licensees can finally reveal their ‘Hobbit‘ collections! To that end, we are pleased to announce that The Noble Collection has the rights to make collectibles from ‘The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.’ As they are long time supporters and friends of TheOneRing.net, we are very excited to see just what the future holds from the masters at The Noble Collection. So without further delay, here’s the first reveal of the week…the Orcrist Sword Replica! This sword, nicknamed ‘Biter’ by the Goblins, was found by Thorin and company as they rested in the trolls cave, and would prove to be very helpful over the events of the Hobbit. Orcrist is recreated in stunning detail from the models used for the film. Collectors will be able to Pre-Order this replica next week and shipping will commence December 10th. Stay tuned to TheOneRing.net for further announcements from The Noble Collection! [The Noble Collection] (Check out the higher res images below!)

“Also,” went on Gandalf, “I forgot to mention that with the map went a key, a small and curious key. Here it is!” he said, and handed to Thorin a key with a long barrel and intricate wards, made of silver. “Keep it safe!”
The next item to debut from The Noble Collection is the Map and Key of Thorin Oakenshield. As is quite clear by the name, this intricately detailed collectible features two of the most important props from the films, second only to The One Ring itself. As you can see by the images, Thorin’s Map and Key of Erebor are set against a black plaque, making it easy to mount on your office/home wall. The SRP for this amazing setup is only $79 and will be on The Noble Collection website early next week, with shipping starting in early December.

Jerry Vanderstelt is known by many fans of The Lord of the Rings for creating beautiful works of art capturing some of the coolest moments in the trilogy. Soonl, fans around the world will get a chance to start capturing his amazing art work for the trilogy of films for The Hobbit. That’s right! Jerry will be creating art for the trilogy starting with The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey this December. If you want to see more on Jerry’s work and get to know more about him you can check out his official site and his official Facebook page.
Jerry also has a statement he wanted to pass on to fans of Middle-Earth:
“Hello fellow Middle Earth fans, Jerry VanderStelt here. As some of you know, I am a Licensed artist with New Line Cinema and Warner Brothers studios in the creation of the Lord of the Rings art reproductions. Now, I have expanded my fine art program to include The Hobbit!
My first Hobbit art piece is a montage that encapsulates key moments, characters and locations seen in the first film. After that, I plan to continue exploring new pieces that focus on either beautiful landscape scenery, character-centric pieces, or specific characters or groups of characters in various environments.
I hope to have my first Hobbit piece out of the gate by the Dec.14 in time for the film’s release. Soon, I’ll be announcing the pricing and sizing as well as the different edition options I plan to offer here in this thread. Feel free to ask any questions that may come up as we go along!”
