Bag End on the Hill -The Lord of the Rings - Environment (Limited Edition) Polystone

Winner of seventeen Academy Awards, The Lord of The Rings was brought to the big screen by New Line Cinema and directed by Peter Jackson. Weta Workshop was intrinsically involved in designing and manufacturing physical effects for all three films. It takes hundreds of hours to design, sculpt, model make, mold, and paint the prototype for each new Middle-earth piece. Whether it be a prop replica, a beautiful environment, or an iconic character, we treat our collectibles with the same level of care and attention to detail that we bring to our film work. In a hole in the ground, there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole. It was a hobbit hole, and that meant comfort. Overlooking the village from the hill at the end of Bagshot Row is Bag End, the stately underground abode of the eccentric Hobbit Bilbo Baggins. Bilbo widely acknowledged town as having ‘cracked’ some years ago, and his cousin and ward Frodo Baggins, with whom he shares his home, is undoubtedly in the process of cracking. The Bagginses, it is said, consort with Wizards, Dwarves, and other folks with dangerous ideas. Bag End is a museum, its rooms stuffed with treasures, trinkets, and oddities accumulated over the years by Bilbo either on his adventures or as gifts from his peculiar company. But extraordinary as its occupants and contents might be, the abiding atmosphere of Bag End is one of lazy comfort, from the pretty but slightly overgrown gardens that hug its eaves to the welcoming clutter inside its labyrinthine chambers. Sprawling around the Hill beneath the shade of an old oak tree whose roots twist through its halls, the grand smial reflects the gentle good humor of its hosts and the universal Hobbit love of simple pleasures. There have been Bagginses living under the hill for as long as anyone can remember, and there always will be. Product Details: Limited Edition It depicts the iconic home of Bilbo and Frodo Baggins.
