Another Mithril mistery solved. Now we may call it “Bilbo on pony”
Thanks Master Gildor

You are right Mr Barliman, “Bilbo on Big Horse” 😆

And do you know the real Bree village in Belgium, Mr Innkeeper?

No, the real Bree is at the bottom of my garden – it’s there every time I pull open the curtains. I don’t think it’s ever been to Belgium (it suffers from sea-sickness), but the little shop here sells lots of Belgian chocolates.

What is the story behind this figure? I’ve never seen it before.

well as I said in post #19 of this thread :

by the way I have the history of this figurine… it was meant to be for a project of Hobbit characters mounted (dwarves on horses and hobbit on poney) but this project never came to fruition. Chris had made Bilbo on a horse and when sculpted he noted he had made a mistake, making the poney… too big, actually a big horse which was not canon at all and unfitting so the project was put aside.

but I can manage to see if I have more info in my exchanges with Chris

Apologies, Master Elf. My memory is seriously not what it used to be, and a year is a long time. I had genuinely completely forgotten about this!
