The Lord Of The Rings | Bilbo Baggins in Bag End, 1:6 scale statue by Wētā Workshop Collectibles

[@annbrookens945]

This is beautifully done! This video takes me back to the many delightful hours I spent watching the special features on the Lord of the Rings movies. What a gorgeously detailed work. I wants it!

[@Siile_]

Those special features remain unrivalled to this day, they transport you almost as much as the movies themselves

[@kirstenpaff8946]

I loved the close ups of some of the paper props. It always amazes me how much thought went into props that the average viewer would probably never even notice, but which gave Middle Earth such a real and lived in feel.

[@wetaworkshopnz]

The team put an incredible amount of effort into making the world of Middle-earth feel not just alive, but also lived in. It helps both the audience and the actors on set 😊

Just got my bilbo 2 days ago!!!! #334 I'm so grateful weta, thank you!

[@peteronnasch6341]

Absolutely magnificent piece of art! Kudos to all the artists who were involved with it! For me this perfectly captures the core heart and soul of our beloved story.

[@wetaworkshopnz]

Thanks for your kind words, our team worked very hard on this one 🙏

I can't stop crying after seeing Bilbo Baggins brings back a memory...

Absolutely stunning work on this. Even watching this video has been a real treat! thank you to the team and all the hard work you do

This a true Masters Collection piece. Love the environment and character pieces. Thank you, team Weta.

Best piece from Weta 🎉

such a stunning piece, wish i hadn't missed it

[@Highbeas7]

It's a stunning piece of art

[@blackbeard63]

I've ordered the large version, it just oozes quality. I also love how the artists, in the video, enthuse about the piece. You can see how enthralled they are by what they have created. Love to see real craftsmen, and at Weta they have a plethora of them.

[@wetaworkshopnz]

We're all fans at heart 🤗

[@Steph_here]

This is so nice, esp since Mr Holm passed

[@MylaMalinalda]

I’ve been waiting for you all to make more Old Bilbo collectibles and this is just more than I dreamed! Cant wait to receive mine next year! 🥰

[@wetaworkshopnz]

We're just as excited as you are! 😍

[@Phodis]

2:34 Does it for me. The way Bilbo is both looking at you, as well as thinking off and away into the journey.... is captured. This is truly remarkable. What wonderful skill the creators have and their love and respect for their work truly shines. I am so tempted for the large one... heck I guess I could eat toast for a few months hehe, as let's face it guys.... in a years time, or 10... the initial effort to own this will well and truly outshine the initial cost,.... and how many times have you wished you had have taken the plunge and yet still missed out on previous WETA works. Plenty of times for me ...Methinks... not this time :)

[@wetaworkshopnz]

Thank you for your kind words, the team put in a tremendous amount of work, so your feedback is greatly appreciated 🙏 P.S. please eat more than just toast!

[@scriff70]

Amazing work to the Weta Collectibles team - really well done.

[@wetaworkshopnz]

Thanks for that, we'll be sure to pass it on to the team, they'll be stoked to hear 👍

[@johnniwalker778]

Next Weta Grail, trully unique and eye catching piece. Can’t wait for mine.

[@kiahwilliams687]

I would really appreciate a closeup of the tree painting in this model thanks

[@ahapalbin5349]

Great job Weta.

[@Mathom-House]

One of the most iconic moment in the movie.. ..details are amazing.. "Go Weta!" 🙂

[@Littlewings1211]

This is exceptionally beautiful! I would love to one day be talented enough to make something even half as good!

[@wetaworkshopnz]

Just work at it a little bit each day, you'll be surprised by what you can achieve with a bit of persistence. We believe in you!

[@Littlewings1211]

@@wetaworkshopnz awww what a lovely response, thank you 😊

[@SwordsandBrushes]

WOWSERS! This is absolutely fantastic, you can just get lost in the sculpt whilst looking at it. So much detail, anyone would be proud of having that on their Middle Earth Mantelpiece!

[@wetaworkshopnz]

This piece definitely continued to grow in detail as it was being worked on, and we're pretty stoked with the results 😊

[@jclefbouncyrock]

Beautiful - the amount of detail is just baffling. Incredible work!

[@wetaworkshopnz]

Thank you so much 🙏

[@copper115]

This is next level stuff. well done. Is there a ring hidden in the scene? :)

[@noahparker4781]

I hope you guys make more

[@wetaworkshopnz]

Unfortunately as this is a Limited Edition piece, we won't be making any more. However, you can still purchase the Classic Series version here: www.wetanz.com/shop/figures/bilbo-baggins-at-his-desk

[@RafaelToscano]

What a beautiful video, what a beautiful work! You guys are the best! I am collecting some of your pieces and I just wish to have a bigger space to put everything 😂 truly unique masterpieces! I’m a huge fan of Daniel Reeve’s work. To see the attention to detail even in his calligraphy, is something very special.

[@wetaworkshopnz]

Thank you so much! 🙏

[@Relics_of_Arda]

Well done Weta Workshop!

[@jasonantares3116]

Honestly I was expecting it to be more expensive and was sad that I might have to miss it. Now it's within my price range and I'm so excited!

[@johnfloydman7735]

Amazing peace 🙏👍

[@elbrones]

Incredible detail. Strongly considering this one

[@wetaworkshopnz]

As mentioned in the video, we were lucky enough to have access to an incredible archive documenting many of the original props from the film. We really wanted to be as precise as possible with this one.

[@pahpatree597]

OMG LOVE IT!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@arthurfransolet7931]

Hello ! What materials were used for this maneficient sculpture ?

[@roygfs]

Speechless.

[@mikeshea155]

Instant Purchase, the detail is just amazing.

[@wetaworkshopnz]

Thanks! We're glad you like it 🥰

[@corioliscollection240]

It's a stunning piece, and offering it in two versions is a great idea too. But you should allow payment plan in 8 or 10 instalments for the limited edition.

[@wetaworkshopnz]

Thanks for the feedback, we're always trying to provide the best options for our collectors 👍

[@AtnSnow]

It’s so beautiful 😭👏❤️

[@wetaworkshopnz]

Thanks! Our team had a fantastic time putting this piece together 🥰

[@winterfrost4337]

Hi Weta! First of all I want to say I love your pieces, atm only own 2 but always looking to expand my colecction. I want to know ¿Does this piece have light-up function?

[@wetaworkshopnz]

Hey 👋 We hope to fill more of your collection with cool stuff! This particular statue does not have any light-up features. For a full list of features, be sure to check out the relevant product pages at www.wetanz.com 👍

[@bilboskywalker6371]

Ordered. My first large Weta piece! Question, why does the chimney have that unfinished look? Where there’s a hole in it? Not a complaint, just generally curious.

[@wetaworkshopnz]

Good question indeed! We thought it looked more interesting to see into the chimney rather than just having a big blocky brick piece sticking out the side. It also keeps in theme with the "cross-section" style of the environment where you can see the interior of the walls and surrounding earth. Hope that answers your question 👍

[@bilboskywalker6371]

Weta Workshop interesting! Thank you for the response.

Phenomenal work ❤️ Im ordering this masterpiece and I have a question 🙏 I miss Legolas statue with Gilmi, is there any chance, that your fantastc artists will ever make statue of Legolas wighting spiders ? ( desolation of smaug) ❤️❤️❤️

[@wetaworkshopnz]

Nothing in the works at the moment, but you never know~ 😉

[@nathang4682]

Are the paper props made out of paper or are they sculpted?

[@wetaworkshopnz]

The sheets of paper scattered around the room are indeed made from paper 👍

[@Keepinitreel108]

Are these made in New Zealand or China?

[@wetaworkshopnz]

Our artists create what we call the 'paint masters' here at Weta Workshop, in New Zealand. We send these to our manufacturing partner in China for reproduction. Hope this helps!

[@Keepinitreel108]

@@wetaworkshopnz oh thank you for the reply, I just hope they keep to the NZ standard. I've ordered this already, it looks like such an amazing piece. Saruman at his desk in Orthanc might make a good future diaroma peice in the future!

Pre-ordered! I hope the final product will be as beautiful as the prototype, and that the pre-order count stays pretty low so I can make the exuse to my wife that it is very limited and a great investment....when she declares me mad for spending so much money :p

& 1700 christ

[@dartagnanlamparty1198]

But it’s 1,200 dollars. I love the movies and the stories of Tolkien but not to spend a couple months rent on a small piece of plastic. Now if it was MAYBE say $100 I would possibly consider.

[@wetaworkshopnz]

We also have a Classic Series version available for $349US: www.wetanz.com/shop/figures/bilbo-baggins-at-his-desk

[@jonathancunningham3526]

100? You really don't understand this hobby do you :-D

[@dartagnanlamparty1198]

I get it but idk how I would feel if something broke off of a $1,200 collectible. It is nice that weta has a cheaper option though.
