Merchandising The One Ring?

Have any jewellers started capitalizing on the popularity of the film by producing their own copy?

Thanks

Those are the ones I know of right off. There is also an order form and mini catalog from somewhere in the DVD that has The One Ring as well as some other jewelry from the movie.

Then there’s the Noble Collection version. Sterling Silver, though, blah.

Well, among all the other nifty toys that they have at swords-online.com (of all places), they have this purdy lil’ thing. It’s pretty expensive, though.

Well, I hope any reader of LOTR would imitate Gandalf, Elrond, Galadriel and refuse the offer of such a ring. Isn’t the whole point that virtuous people would not buy it?

Didja notice the “Hurry! Supplies are limited!” right underneath the text describing it as the one ring?

Well, DUH!..

Who are you, the Pope? :smiley:

I dunno, Noodles. Point a truely virtuous person out to me around here and I’ll ask. :stuck_out_tongue:

is on my “official” Liv Arwen Bookmark that hanging out of my One-Vol HB of LOTR

I’m not buying that ring. I must be virtuous.

the “SkyMall” magazine in airplanes has been hocking “The One Ring.” I hear they only can sell one.

But Arnold, if I had one, I would use it to do only good!

Really, I would!

:wink:

There’s a replica put out by Applause. It’s fairly cheap (~$16 retail), and I have a bunch that I was going to put on eBay, and it looks…decent. The one issue I have about it (besides its not being gold, but for the price who would expect it to be?) is that it has the writing on the ring engraved into it, while I kind of like the idea of it being a plain gold band.

Then again, I guess that wouldn’t be as marketable (“that’s just a plain ring!”), but still.

OK, you guys can be Boromir, and I’ll be Aragorn. :stuck_out_tongue:

You can buy it but, be forwarned it will turn you into a shriveled spiney wimp. Perhaps that isn’t much of a difference
You can posess it but you must leave it to a Hobbit. Preferably one with a Wizzard Mentor. :slight_smile:

Oh, but it is! In my case, it’s an improvement!

:wink:

What kind of sad, hopeless person needs to write
WIZZARD on their hat?

Sweet! I get an awesome death scene! And now you have to kiss me! Bwahahahaha!

No way would I buy (a replica of) the One Ring. But if they were to start selling the Three, well that might be another story. Especially if they came with Galadriel ;).

Besides, the Three are much more interesting. The One was the only one without any sort of setting.

I’d buy it if it were just a plain ring, but the writing showed when placed near fire :slight_smile:
