Weta Workshop

An Unexpected Party is a fast, fun, action-based tabletop game for 2-4 players, set in the opening scenes of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey when the thirteen Dwarves arrive unannounced at Bag End, much to Bilbo's dismay! Step into the Dwarves shoes and earn points by performing lines of the song, "The Things Bilbo Hates." As you move around Bag End you will sing loudly, gather items and generally make a mess of the place. While Bilbo might be curious about the antics of his uninvited guests at first, be careful not to push the poor hobbit too far or you will be sitting in the Dining Hall with no dinner! The game ends either when all 15 lines of the song are completed, or with the momentous arrival of Thorin. The player with the most points, who did the best job arousing Bilbo's curiosity and shaking up his sheltered life, will win!

As huge fans of Jim Henson's The Dark Crystal (1982), Weta Workshop is excited to dive into the world of Thra and create premium collectibles for this iconic film. The Skeksis have remained separated from their other halves, the urRu, for too long; only by repairing the Crystal of Truth can balance be restored to the world of Thra. It falls to the Gelflings Jen and Kira, the last of their kind, to fulfil the ancient prophecy. Together they must overcome the dangers and deceit laid out before them by the evil Skeksis. "When single shines the triple sun, what was sundered and undone shall be whole, the two made one by Gelfling hand or else by none. In a shrouded valley, lost to time, a Gelfling boy is nurtured and taught by the wise Mystics. Product features: - 1:6 scale; - Portrays the last of the Gelfling, the Mystic-raised hero. - Clay sculpted by Brigitte Wuest; - Sculpted from photos of the original puppet from The Dark Crystal (1982); - Clutching a shard of the Dark Crystal; - Base shape that fits together with companion Kira when displayed side-by-side; - High-quality polystone. SPECIAL BASE DESIGN The three different sized circular bases across our 1:6 scale Dark Crystal range represent the Three Suns in the skies of Thra; the dying sun, rose sun, and great sun. Familiar iconography from the floor of the Crystal Chamber are featured around the outside. Spy the symbols of the urSkeks, which have since been appropriated as signs of discord and Skeksis aggression. Dimensions: 12,4 x 22,3 x 11,9 cm

Imposing over the lands like a dark giant; a lone figure of dominating magnitude, striking awe and wonder at both its purpose and construction, stood the inimitable tower: Orthanc. Standing in the centre of the Ring of Isengard was a great stone tower of polished black. Hewn from a monolith of dark rock centuries ago by the arts long since forgotten, the Tower of Orthanc stood sharp and hard against a field of green trees and soaring snow-capped mountains. In the waning years of the Third Age it was home to the Wizard Saruman, and within its dark chambers he spent his days studying the ways of the enemy, that he might better understand and ultimately defeat him. A Palantír Saruman kept; one of the ancient seeing stones of Númenor. Many long hours the Wizard spent staring into this magical sphere, watching Sauron, believing himself wise and powerful, and resistant to the devices of his foe. Yet in truth Saruman's own pride and folly led him willingly into Sauron's trap, for he became enamoured with the Dark Lord's arts and craved his power. Through the stone his mind was twisted until he became a vassal of Mordor, and Orthanc, once a place of learning and beauty, was despoiled by Orcs, now a place of dread. Gone were the trees; tinder to feed the fires of industry that burned in pits around the tower, and the plains within the ringed wall were a scorched wasteland of ash where armies drilled and marched in prelude to making war upon those whom Saruman once named friends. FEATURES: - Open Edition; - Made from high-quality polystone; - 360° environment design; - Recreated in meticulous detailing; - Digitally sculpted by 3D artist Daniel Holland. Size: 11 x 18 x

For a Wizard whose errands took him all over Middle-earth, the sleepy hills and quiet hamlets of the Shire were a sanctuary. Strolling between verdant hedgerows and bursting gardens, Gandalf the Grey enjoyed the company of the Hobbits living there: a gentle people of naïve eccentricities, and makers of the finest pipe weed in all the lands. On a fine evening Gandalf might be found sitting outside Bag End with Bilbo or Frodo Baggins, pipes in hand, blowing smoke rings which the Wizard brought to life with subtle magic. The Pipe of Gandalf the Grey was created for The Lord of the Rings by the artists at the 3Foot6 Art Department, and comes complete with Tamper. This non-functional prop replica has been created from molds of the original prop used in the film, using the same high impact urethane material as the props on set and finished using the same techniques and materials to achieve the same well-loved look as it has in the film. Measures approximately in length.

During the production of The Lord of the Rings, Weta Workshop was tasked with helping to build up the very foundations of how Middle-earth was to appear on screen. From the largest of towers to the smallest of Hobbit holes, countless sketches were made detailing every aspect, and although not every concept saw its way onto the big screen, each piece played an important role in exploring the world it belonged to. For the very first time, Weta Workshop is proud to have the opportunity to bring a piece of Middle earth to life, that until now only existed on paper: The Key to Bag End. 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, beautiful environment, or iconic character, we treat our collectibles with the same level of care and attention to detail that we bring to our film work. Product features: - 1:1 scale prop replica; - Cast in metal (Zinc Alloy) and comes with a stand made of polyurethane; - Faithfully recreated in the style and texturing of the Bag End film-set; - Original prop designed by Concept Artist John Howe. Size: 15,5 x 6,7 x

A winged thing - not of feather or quill, but naked and leathery. Armed with tooth and claw, its screeching cry, piercing and unnatural, invokes a primal fear in all who hear its call. A foul steed, it serves its rider to scour the skies and plague the lands. Perching upon the ruins of Osgiliath, forsaken capital of Gondor, the Fell Beast aides its Nazgûl rider in tracking down the Ringbearer. Its imposing figure poised to launch in pursuit. Saddled atop this abhorrent mount, the Witch-king surveys the ruins - searching, seeking, always seeking, the call of the Ring. - Made from high quality polystone; - Approx. 6.2 inches tall; - Depicts a Fell Beast perched upon the ruins of Osgiliath as seen in The Two Towers; - Made with reference to the original film props and designs."

Bright round doors in summery hues dot the lush, grassy hillsides of Hobbiton like wildflowers. Behind each doorway, comfortably appointed burrows wind into earth: each one home to a hobbit, or a family of the Shire's rosy-cheeked little-folk. Every hobbit-hole is unique, expressing the personality of its inhabitants with colour and prettily adorned with gardens, furniture, and the rustic debris of everyday life. The abiding atmosphere of Bag End itself is one of lazy comfort, from the pretty but slightly overgrown gardens that hug its eaves to the welcoming clutter inside it 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 humour of its hosts and the universal Hobbit love of simple pleasures.
