HOBBIT THE PIPE OF BILBO BAGGINS

From New Line Cinema, Peter Jackson and Warner Bros. comes J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit, brought to the big screen in an epic trilogy. Weta Workshop was thrilled to return to Middle-earth once again, contributing design, specialty props and specialty costumes to all three films.

Weta Workshop’s authentic prop replicas are designed by the very same artists and technicians who work on our movies, using the same techniques and materials. We treat our prop replicas with the same level of care, quality and attention to detail that we bring to our film work.

Elegantly carved with a leaf motif, the long stemmed pipe of Bilbo Baggins exemplifies the comfort and decorum of hobbit society.

A gentleman's pipe, befitting a hobbit of standing and decorum such as the master of Bag End, and not some Tookish rapscallion who might run off on adventures, it is perfect for blowing smoke rings and waving good morning at unannounced strangers in pointy hats.

The Pipe of Bilbo Baggins was created for The Hobbit by the artists at the 3Foot7 Art Department. This non-functional prop replica has been created from molds of the original prop used in the film, using the same high impact urethane material as the props on set and finished using the same techniques and materials to achieve the same well-loved look as it has in the film.

This is a non-functional prop replica and comes with a polystone display stand.

"Although we use steel and aluminium to make a lot of our swords, often we benefit from the casting of these in a high impact urethane, as we are able to capture the complexity of detail we are wishing to cast into some of our weapons. We have therefore chosen to present our collector's edition of Hobbit weapons in the same material used for the making of the film props, to exactly replicate the techniques and artistry used in the films."
