Barliman Butterbur was an innkeeper in the town of Bree in the Prancing Pony Inn. Nob was one of the two Hobbits that worked with him as a servant. Barliman had been charged with a task, by Gandalf the Grey, of delivering a letter to Hobbiton, to Frodo, but could not find anyone to deliver it, and eventually forgot about it. He eventually remembered after Frodo arrived.
He did buy Bill the Pony to compensate for the loss of Frodo’s ponies during the Nazgul raid on his Inn. Gandalf forgave him for forgetting to deliver the letter once he knew that Frodo had escaped safely.
Only 87 of these figures are produced at this time. This is the 203rd release in the Gold Status Fellowship club. This was the winning idea from September 2023 and was submitted by Fellowship member “Gildor”
This vignette is a tribute made to Ian “Barliman” Heath, a founding member of the Gold Fellowship and MMP in ther early 2000’s. He passed away in 2022 and will be dearly missed by the community
