The Lord of the Rings franchise is full of incredible moments, scenes that range from beautiful to terrible, and sometimes both. So it’s no wonder the movies inspire artists to create. In their most recent line of Lord of the Rings collectibles (or “collectables” as they are called), NZ Post has once again joined with artists Sacha Lees. Lees “worked at Wētā Workshop during the making of the films” and was one of the artists responsible for bringing The Lord of the Rings movies to life. This time, Lees uses her Lord of the Rings powers to offer us a set of enamel pins. These Lord of the Rings enamel pins may not be the first ones you’d imagine, but they bring powerful parts of the movies to life.
Currently, three pins are available:
Gollum – a silhouette of Gollum in a forest over a green background, gazing up at the One Ring
Mount Doom – an illustration of Mount Doom with the One Ring floating above
Eye of Sauron – Bag End, Barad-dûr and Mount Doom surrounded by the ominous Eye of Sauron
We have to say, we love that these enamel pins capture the darkness of The Lord of the Rings movies. It really adds a fun element to the merchandise. These pins remind us beautifully that the world of the Lord of the Rings is a harrowing one. Danger, in its many tempting forms, lurks around the corners. We’ll feel totally badass with these pins on our vests and lapels.
The image of the Shire burning surrounded by the Eye of Sauron makes for an especially visceral pin. The vision of the Shire in flames is one of the most harrowing ones Lord of the Rings creates as it offers us a total ruination of innocence. But it also reminds us of the importance of fighting for what we love. Even if that leads us into Mordor. As Stranger Things‘ Eddie Munson might say, “The Shire is burning, so Mordor it is.” And now, there’s an LOTR enamel pin for that.
In addition to these fun pins, NZ Post has previously released some incredible Lord of the Rings stamps and coins. It will soon celebrate The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers‘ 20th Anniversary with even more gorgeous stamps. Much to the delight of Lord of the Rings fans all over the world.
NZ Post’s LOTR enamel pins and other collectibles are now available for purchase through their website. The upcoming stamp collection will release on September 7.
