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. |

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! |

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! |

it was the second prize in painting competitions |

What was the first? |

What was first prize?  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

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

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. |
