BAG END™

Collectible Environment
Dimensions:
(W x H x L) 30 cm x 15 cm x 18 cm
Weight: 5.071 lbs (2.3 kg)

Nestled in the gently rolling green hills of the Shire is the village of Hobbiton, a sleepy assemblage of stone buildings and burrows, home to the diminutive Hobbits.

Overlooking the village from the hill at the end of Bagshot Row is Bag End, the stately underground abode of Bilbo Baggins, an eccentric Hobbit widely acknowledged about town as having cracked some years ago, and his cousin and ward Frodo Baggins, who is certainly in the process of cracking. Consorting with Wizards, Dwarves and other folk with dangerous ideas, the Bagginses maintain a museum of sorts in their home, the various rooms of Bag End being stuffed with treasures and trinkets accumulated over the years by Bilbo either on his adventures or as gifts from his peculiar company.

But extraordinary as its occupants and contents might be, the abiding atmosphere of Bag End itself is one of lazy comfort, from the pretty but slightly overgrown gardens that hug its eaves to the welcoming clutter inside it labyrinthine chambers. Reclined across the hillside in the shade of an old oak tree whose roots twist through its halls, the home reflects the gentle good humour of its hosts and the universal Hobbit love of simple pleasures. There have been Bagginses living under the hill for as long as anyone can remember, and there always will be.

This gorgeous piece has been designed by a crew of artists and craftspeople who work on our films. It's a real team effort to produce a piece like this.

Because of the relationship we have with all the production parts of the process, we have access to everything from concept drawings to set plans, which is really handy when making things like the Hobbit Holes.

Leonard Ellis - Sculptor & Model Maker, Weta Workshop

Bag End is an Open Edition piece. Please note: This miniature environment was designed and prototyped here at the Workshop. Images are of a pre-production prototype. Each sculpture is hand painted and minor variations will occur.

It takes 400-500 hours to design, sculpt, model make, mold, and paint the prototype for each new Middle-earth piece. Whether it be a prop replica, beautiful environment or iconic character, we treat our collectibles with the same level of care and attention to detail that we bring to our film work.

  1. Good purchase
    It finally arrived to spain! What a quick shipment.

    I like it so much, good size(not so small as others hobbit holes).
    Good details. I love staring at it imaging myself having a coffee there….

  2. All the comforts of home!
    What to say that hasn’t already been said about this piece? It’s a delight. The cozy beauty of Bag End pours out of this environment, and I stare at it each time I walk by it! There’s always a new detail that pops out, and it brings a certain level of calm and wonder as you admire Weta’s stunning work. Thank you, Weta! It is so lovely!

  3. Striking!
    I got this for Christmas this morning and I am absolutely blown away by the detail. From the gardening tools to the pathways and flowers to the tiny, tiny no admittance sign. I also especially love the chimneys, they\'re a really nice touch. Continuously amazed by what you all do every day! Thank you!

  4. Awesome!
    This is the first environment piece I bought and I am very happy with it! This piece is massive and it has an astounding amount of detail. All the individual flowers and the little tools on the table really bring this piece to life. Absolutely stunning to look at. The tree is a separate piece that goes into a slot quite nicely so it\'s easy to assemble. However the slot itself is quite loose so the tree actually wiggles/moves a little bit. This is not a problem because you\'ll be displaying it on a stable platform but just something to keep in mind. The tree does stay up nice and upright at the correct angle so it\'s not wonky or anything. All in all a brilliant piece and the level of detail is unbelievable. Great item to start your collection!

  5. Beautiful piece WETA folks
    This is a really beautiful environment. A must have for your collection. In this Hobbit Hole we started on a wonderful journey and continue on today.
    Just added this to my collection today. Only regret is not getting the Bag End with interior long ago. Oh well.

  6. Amazing sculpture!
    First, I can\'t believe I ordered this last weekend and received it at my office on Tuesday! I might order a lot more knowing how close I am to a warehouse. That may be a bad thing for my wallet.

    This is a gorgeous piece! You can stare at it for ages and just soak in all the details. I was so disappointed not to be able to buy these when I visited Hobbiton last month due to space in my luggage but now plan to collect as many as I can and make an entire diorama in my house. Hobbiton was the highlight of my New Zealand trip. I want to move in.

    Thanks again for the lovely pieces and I look forward to collecting more.

  7. The place where it all started... Bag End
    Well, all the reviews are true! This is a magnificent piece! It is full of detail, has a nice weight to it and the quality is just outstanding! This is the first environment I\'ve got from Weta as it is not so expensive, but know I want to get\'em all! Do not hesitate to get this piece! Is such an iconic place for LotR and The Hobbit fans all over the world!

  8. Una belleza de diorama
    Esta belleza alegrará cualquier rincón de tu casa. Es una de las localizaciones más icónicas de la tierra media. Siento no haber comprado la edición coleccionista cuando salió, pero aún así esta edición la recomiendo 100% por sus detalles y su precio asequible. Gracias Weta por otra maravillosa creación.

  9. Perfect
    I cannot go a day without gazing over this piece. It's without a doubt one of my favourite. The detail from the doorway to each blade of grass is outstanding. I'm sorry I missed the exclusive but will never regret having the open edition. It makes you want to knock on the door and go on an adventure.
    Thank you Weta for making this available to us.

  11. OK, this is a MUST have!
    I am starting to build a reasonable collection, getting 6 different Weta statues this week alone, after going back into ~Hobbit~ mode again ..rekindled of course by the Battle of the 5 armies :P

    I have to admit hanging over the buy button on this one a loooong time ago, when the collectors version was made available... to stingy, to mean to buy either at the time... and after receiving this open edition of Bag End today, (Years later)... I truly wish I could go back and slap myself in the face to buy the CE (Collector edition) when I had the chance. That said of course the Open edition is exactly the same on the outside, just without the interior that can be seen from the back of the CE version.

    I LOVE this statue... the ONE iconic place in Middle Earth, where everything starts and returns to. Its beautiful!, and I can't stop looking/glancing at at even whilst typing this review.

    GUYS!!... if you are thinking of an environment to start your collection, then I HIGHLY recommend this piece.
    So often the pictures do NOT do Weta justice. This time is no exception. Detail everywhere :) the colours are perfect...its like I just reached into the movie and ripped Bag End out of the ground and threw it on my desk!!!.. its really nicely textured, form the sand on the front road, to the little green Hobbit door, with the golden door knob.

    I have Erebor as well, and although it is worth more money... I really think I would give Bag End the edge here out of the two models as I don't need a microscope to see the detail! :P Not to take anything away from Erebor however as it is a masterpiece and awesome in its own way.

    I might grab the other Hobbit holes soon now to, but just like Bag End.... ~Rivendell~... has also been under close eye for far too long, and based on this piece, I would think will have to be a MUST have also.

    *Fast delivery to Australia here
    *The MOST recognizable iconic Middle Earth environment in my opinion.
    *Incredible detail, texturing and paint work
    *REALLY well priced to, for the size of it.
    *Just Put a smile on your face and take the plunge, you won't regret it.
    Cheers All.
    Glen.

  12. In a hole in the ground...
    This is basically where it all started, so it did for me. This was my very first collectible from Weta, and when I got it I thought to myself: it won´t be my last...
    This piece of art is a very good start of your collection simply because it looks fantastic, there are a huge amount of details and you get so much for only 130 USD.

    Bag End I amazing, the detail gone into it is amazing. Looking closely you can see small things which make this piece incredible. Things such as the no admittance sign on the gate and the gardening tools finish this piece. Very speedy delivery.

  16. Bag End - Open Edition
    Thank you Weta! I am from England and it arrived today only a few days after ordering! Arrived in perfect condition and will give my desk a touch of Tolkien for many years. The best part is the price! I think that this truly is a bargain as it is only about £20 more than a character model.
    Thanks again, Weta!

    Thank you

  20. Stunning!
    This is simply a beautiful environment. The amount of detail is amazing, the paint application is superb. I can't find anything even slightly wrong with this environment. If you don't have the money for the Collector's Edition, this is the perfect substitute. No Lord of the Rings collection can be complete without a Bag End.

  21. Just beautiful
    My Bag End arrived in perfect condition - (even the box is gorgeous!) The collectible is just exquisite - as I knew it would be coming from WETA. Can't wait to receive The Prancing Pony now. (How about a Rivendell?)
