If you are also a collector of action figures based on the Peter Jackson LOTR <\/em>franchise, I am happy to share that McFarlane Toys has a set of licensed figures for War of the Rohirrim<\/em>, including Hera<\/a>, Helm<\/a>, and Wulf<\/a>, and a few others. The figures are 4″ tall with six articulation points (neck, shoulders, hips, knees), and nicely detailed.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n

If you’re looking to adorn your own cosy hobbit hole with some authentic stained glass, look no further! Ian Leino of Geek Orthodox<\/a> is an incredible artist, and his stained glass pieces are amazing. Even better – he also makes very high quality window cling versions of his stained glass, for those whose budget doesn’t quite stretch to an actual glass piece. He has some stunning designs from multiple fandoms; but of course his Middle-earth piece are my favourites!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n

The holidays are traditionally a time to eat, drink and be like Merry… But even if you’re not a consumer of alcohol, the collectible spirits from the good folks at Syzyrgy\u00a0Forge<\/a> are worth having just for the beautiful bottle. Check out their Green Dragon whiskey. If you DO enjoy a tipple, you may need to buy two bottles – one to drink, and one to keep unopened. Look out for their Gandalf and the Balrog design coming next…<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n

This one is really for folks who have an outdoor space to adorn – though as an apartment dweller in a city, I’m trying to work out how to display my ‘Green Dragon’ sign indoors. The folks at Metalbird create extraordinary silhouette signs,<\/a> which can be attached to a fence post or tree trunk. Their original creations were – as you might expect – metal birds, but now they’ve ‘branched out’ (ha, see what I did there?) and collaborated with Weta to create Lord of the Rings pieces. Choose from Gwaihir (with a tiny Gandalf passenger), a Balrog, the Witch-king on his Fell Beast, or the Green Dragon pub sign. All beautiful; but of course I have a clear favourite…<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n

Bring the atmosphere of Middle-earth into your home this festive season, with the incredible immersive soundscapes from Jordan Rannells<\/a>. His latest creation is for\u00a0The Hobbit<\/em>: you can use it as an accompaniment for reading the book, or sync it with the official audiobook to get an amazing, immersive audio experience. Better yet, you can get a discount with a special code (TORN25) for TORn friends!<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n

If you want something stunning to adorn your walls, look no further than Zewood’s wonderful clocks and maps.<\/a> We’ve discovered this company recently, as they acquired a license to create Middle-earth pieces. They tell us: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

The maps are available in three sizes, ranging from 10 to 29 inches in width, and three color schemes that can easily fit any interior. It can help you fully immerse yourself in the Middle-earth world: explore the routes of key characters, admire the sights, and stop at the places of decisive epic events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The scent of wood and the depth of glass \u2013 all this makes the Zewood map a memorable gift for true Tolkien fans and everyone who appreciates the aesthetics of unique pieces of art. The map can also be engraved with a special phrase, favorite quote, or a name, making the gift even more personalized.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
