LotR Merchandice you WANT to see...but probably won't... - Page 3 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

All I want is a lousy coffee cup! Not a figure head cup, just your normal kind with some picture from one of the famous tolkien artists like Eissman or Lee.
How come you can go into Barnes & Noble and buy Harry Potter coffee cup (like kids drink coffee!) but you can't get a LoTR cup?

Dang it, all I want is a B-D coffee cup and I wonder if it's ever going to get here [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

I'd like to see a palantir as magic 8 ball type thing.

I think character salt and pepper shakers would be fun, like Merry and Pippin, Frodo and Sam, or Galadriel and Celeborn. Legolas and Gimli'd be a funny pair though... maybe they could make Legolas and fangirl instead?

I'm not sure of the exact size of your files, but Village Photos does free image-hosting. They do have a size limit on uploading, however, which is why I was wondering how big the picture is. You could try to make it smaller by cutting off the excess. I could do that for you, if you'd like.

Please, Rynoah, do! Could you give me your email address or something? I tried Villagephotos, but the files are too big.

I think that a One Ring Ring toss game would be very exciting [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Gorwingel · 05-06-2003, 06:54 PM

A LOTR Pumpkin carving set. So that you could carve pumpkins with all the charaters on them, and you could also carve a pumpkin with the ring lettering, that would be reall cool, and evil [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

Gorwingel · 05-16-2003, 10:29 PM

I am going to refresh this thread, because it is a really great one.

Does anyone know where you can find a collection of LOTR related bumper stickers. Because I would love to find some for my car (though I don't know if Tolkien would ever like for people to place his words on vehicles that he was totally against)

Another thing that would be great are those things that you put around your license plate, with the messages. I think I have only seen one. Hey the B-D's should make Bumper stickers and license plate frames

Rynoah, the Overly-Happy · 05-17-2003, 01:15 AM

Well... I can't help you with the carving SET, but I can refer you to a pumpkin-carving SITE that has LotR patterns (select "patterns" from the left-side menu). They are highly difficult to do as they are "shading" carvings, but the site gives easy instructions (select "instructions") as to how one performs this miracle of Jack O' Lanterning and even how to create your own patterns using the computer.

Maegaladiel · 05-22-2003, 12:09 PM

I read over this thread the other day, and last night I had this really evil idea for LOTR Merchandise!! Heh heh, my wicked sense of humor!

I'm not sure what to call it. Does anybody remember those inflatable punching bags that are weighted at the bottom so when you hit them, they pop back up at you? I think they usually had cartoon football players on them or something. Anyway, my toy would be an inflatable Boromir punching bag thingie like that. The toy would come with an Uruk-hai bow and suction cup arrows. Every time you shoot Boromir with an arrow, he almost falls, but pops back up again so you can shoot him some more! Just like in the movie! okay, it was funny at 11:30 last night. *sob* It's a stupid idea! Stupid stupid stupid!!! Just... Just forget I said anything! *sob sob sob*

A LOTR Harley Davidson. No wait, they already did that!

Alphaelin · 05-31-2003, 01:53 AM

I would love to get my hands on the production designs for Rivendell in FOTR. Drawings, paint colors, patterns, the whole enchilada! Right now I am having to improvise by carefully stopping the DVDs and making notes as I slowly try to turn my home into an Elvish sanctuary (without hubby noticing).

Elennar Starfire · 06-06-2003, 10:41 AM

hope nobody already said this, I didn't read the entire topic, but I would like to see Eye of Sauron marbles. Cat eye marbles made of clear red-orange swirly glass, with black cat-eye thing inside.

ooook that sounded really stupid, but it works in my head.

Aragorn's daggar/knife thing he got from Galadriel.
Both of Legolas's bows and arrows and quiver and his knife things too.
Gimli's axes, all three or four of them! (I'm into weapons, can ya tell?)

Don't worry, Farrehn......I am also quite fond of weponry...especially swords dating from the Middle Ages and the Golden Age of Piracy............

Yes...I too would want Aragorn's knife or maybe a Westernesse sword. Theoden's sword was

AWESOME

The funny thing is that I actually know how to do archery and I can swordfight, too!

Your prayers are answered, Vuelve! I found just the thing here: Gollum Plushie !
I know they'll probably never have the Foaming Frodo action figure, though, but it would be pretty easy to do...just add baking soda! It could even come with Shelob as a set!

(Yeah, I know its a bad idea...couldn't resist though!)

Cheers!

warrenerd · 02-29-2004, 03:31 PM

this may not exactly be merchandise, but i think it would be great if they added onto the sets in new zealand (sp?) so that you could actually live in them like you're in middle earth. they would hire actors to act out different battles and scenes at certain times of the year. but everything would be so real. and it wouldn't have merchandise INSIDE of middle earth, because that would be too fake. people would live with the elves or the hobbits (maybe they'd have to raise the cielings) or the men or the dwarves. it would be really expensive, though. but worth it. i would love to be one of those actors. they would have to have a lot of them, though, for all the elves and men and hobbits. how wuold they do hobbits? maybe they would hire midgets. anyway, i wish they had left the sets up, but nooo. they had to knock them down as soon as they were done with the scene. anyway...

Bumper stickers-
"Frodo Lives!(and so does Haldir!!)"
"Look there, behind you. YRCH!"
"We wish, we wish, to catch TWO fish"

Elennar Starfire · 02-29-2004, 08:32 PM

Guess what? On my last post here I mentioned Eye of Sauron marbles, and now... I have one! I found it at a little toy store where they had lots and lots of marbles of all different sorts. It's not officially an Eye of Sauron marble, but it sure looks like it! Not quite how I described my idea for them, they're like a translucent red-orange marble with black painted on, but the black is glass, so it won't ever rub off or anything. (Can you tell I'm rather excited?)

I BRAKE 4 HOBBITS

Eowyn Skywalker · 03-13-2004, 05:42 PM

Okay, you've all given me great ideas... I wonder if my parents would let me start an LotR company... to make all these.
We actually found a lembas recipe somewhere... but I don't know where... blah.

Oh well, ideas... Books, to be more exact.

Hobbit Corrupting for Dummies, the book for all evil rings on corrupting stubborn hobbits... (Hey, maybe I should start writing that...)

How to become an Ace Bowler with your Palantir. The first lesson is never to look into the bowling ball while thtowing, or it'll burn your hand off.

One hundred ways to Sneak into Mordor... the book for Frodo and Sam... maybe wrote by Gollum *shrugs*. Number one: don't go at all!

Fireworks Displays for Dummies, the book that tells everything about setting off fireworks in tents... without a wizard noticing you.

How to Escape from the Top of a Tower: the book about not jumping without an eagle there to catch you. Contains stories from survivors.

What Happens when someone Touches Galadriel's mirror... the story from the survivers... Someone has actually stared writing a Star Wars-Lord of the Rings crossover on this topic here... that'd be me... heh heh...

And those are the Middle-earth books I'd like to see... and or write. Some of you guy's ideas rocked to, by the way.
