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
