From the Archives: Tom, Bert, William

Lego Bilbo is back just for scale on this #TolkienThursday, as we’re going with these Weta Collectibles statues of Tom, Bert, and William – the mountain stone trolls from The Hobbit.

Since this trio doesn’t exist in action figure form, and they don’t scale properly with any proper Lord of the Rings action figures, I went the fancy route and picked up these three releases in polystone. I don’t usually collect statues, but I am pleased with the detail on these releases.

From the Archives: Bilbo Baggins

Recommended Music: Concerning Hobbits

For the very first edition of #TolkienThursday, I started with sharing the very first page of The Hobbit from 1937, but since people are (likely) here for toys and not books, I also shared this Lego Bilbo Baggins.

The mini-figure didn’t actually come with the Lego set seen behind him here, but like most hobbits, Bilbo is fond of the comforts of home and hearth: He loves good, simple food in abundance, and he loves his pipe and well-furnished hobbit-hole.

The Lego set of Bag End seen here is actually My Own Creation (MOC) as the set right out of the box was too small, so I used two sets for a custom hobbit hole, which would better accommodate the Unexpected Party.
