Hi, I don't know if this is the best site for this, if isn't I hope any master could move it to the correct site.
Well, I find this on ebay today:

http://www.ebay.es/itm/Unreleased-Games-Workshop-Lord-Of-The-Rings-Frodo-Wearing-The-One-Ring-/221198214405?pt=Games_US&hash=item338070e505#ht_500wt_1416

I think this is the mini of Frodo with the ring, I thought this mini doesn't exist, but...

I agree with I am Frodo, whats the point of a metal base with rocks and footprints on it?
You can make one your self an probably for a lesser price.

LOL That is brilliant.

Pay for something invisible. Emperor's new clothes anyone?

It is a very collectible piece not I tended for any gaming.

I have been after this for some time. Very bummed that I missed this auction, I would have beat that winning bid in a heartbeat. If anyone here has one and is willing to part with it PM me, I will work something out with you.

From the look of it, I say it's Bilbo, not Frodo!

It is a real deal gw model, dates from the early movies. It was, as mentioned before, a prize for store contests. I only won because I was the only participant, lol.

Yeh its the real deal, I have one too.

Post subject:  Re: Mini of Frodo with the ring

I saw one painted on this site! I actually quite like it and intend to model my own, though as prizes go, it is somewhat lacking in generosity!

Post subject:  Re: Mini of Frodo with the ring

it was the second prize in painting competitions

Post subject:  Re: Mini of Frodo with the ring

What was the first?

What was first prize? :P

Also, if you're interested in making your own, Bilbo, check out Sid's WIP; I recall seeing that he made his own last year and it turned out very well :)

does someone have a photo of the bottom of "Frodo wearing the one ring"?

Post subject:  Re: Mini of Frodo with the ring

It's just the same as a normal base on the bottom... :roll:

Post subject:  Re: Mini of Frodo with the ring

Aye, They're very easy to make and certainly not worth that much money as was on the auction...

@Matt Thanks for the recommendation :)

Here's a link if anyone was interested: Invisible Frodo base

The base is solid metal. I'll edit in a picture when I get home.
