4 Quirky LOTR TUBBZ for Every Bilbo and Frodo on International Hobbit Day

When it comes to fantasy literature, few authors have captured readers’ imaginations as vividly and effortlessly as J.R.R. Tolkien with his book The Lord of the Rings. From the lush hills of the Shire to the tranquil town of Rivendell, the large expanses of Middle-earth are filled with adventure, magic, mystery and unforgettable characters.

Enthralling readers for generations, The Lord of the Rings saga gained even more fans through the film trilogy of the early 2000s, which vividly brought the storylines, characters, and settings to life. 

In the centre of this fantasy world are the Hobbits, a small, gentle race. Living in the Shire, Hobbits coexist with the other magical creatures of Middle-earth. These small, hairy-footed people enjoy life's simpler pleasures, such as good food and comfort. 

Let’s dive into the idyllic world of the Hobbits this International Hobbit Day with TUBBZ. Celebrated by LOTR fans across the globe every year, September 22 commemorates the birthdays of two of our favourite hobbits—Bilbo and Frodo Baggins. Join TUBBZ as we celebrate this day with The Hobbit official merchandise and LOTR TUBBZ.

In this blog, we commemorate the fun and adventures of our hobbit friends and pick out our favourite four quirky Lord of the Rings TUBBZ.

1. Frodo Baggins

Frodo Baggins is perhaps the most legendary of all the Hobbits. Frodo is tasked by his uncle Bilbo to undertake a challenging quest across Middle-earth and destroy the magical One Ring, once held by the dark Lord Sauron. His mission is to destroy the ring by throwing it into the fires of Mount Doom and preventing Sauron from conquering Middle-earth with his dark powers. Before he reaches Mount Doom in Mordor, he encounters many challenges with Sauron’s minions on his trail, wounding him on multiple occasions. 

Frodo feels immensely burdened by the weight of carrying the magical ring, but that doesn’t deter him from fulfilling his quest. Exhibiting exemplary courage, selflessness, and loyalty, Frodo shines throughout the series as a lovable and heroic character.

The Hobbit official merchandise at TUBBZ showcases your beloved Frodo as a TUBBZ collectible duck. At 3.54 inches high, he’s standing tall with the One Ring in his feathers, looking every inch the determined Hobbit and ready to complete his quest. He’s also ready to be bagged as a TUBBZ mini if you’re quick enough!

2. Samwise Gamgee

The trusted companion of Frodo, Samwise Gamgee, is one Hobbit you can trust even when the chips are down. Although initially Frodo’s gardener, Samwise is drawn into Frodo’s quest after overhearing Gandalf and Frodo’s conversation about the One Ring. In the books and the movies, Samwise is portrayed as physically and emotionally strong despite his small stature. His physical strength helps carry Frodo during the most challenging parts of the journey when Frodo is too weak to continue. Samwise also steps up during the emotional turmoil Frodo experiences while carrying the magical One Ring.

Many fans believe Frodo’s journey might not have been completed had Sam not been by his side. This International Hobbit Day, raise your swords in tribute to Samwise Gamgee, a strong and loyal Hobbit. Check out our The Hobbit official merchandise collection, and get ready to make Lord Of The Rings Samwise Gamgee TUBBZ Cosplaying Duck Collectible and our Samwise Gamgee LOTR TUBBZ boxed edition a part of your cherished collection.

3. Pippin Took

Any mention of Hobbits is incomplete without referring to Pippin Took. Although his real name is Peregrin Took, he’s fondly called Pippin by all who know him in the Shire. 

Pippin, the only son and heir of Paladin Took 2, along with Merry Brandybuck, his friend and cousin, joins Frodo in his arduous quest to destroy the One Ring. Curious and impulsive, Pippin is the youngest of the Hobbits that set out from the Shire. 

Our Officially Licensed Pippin Took TUBBZ collectible perfectly captures his features. From the cloak to the sword, this Lord of the Rings TUBBZ is a must-have for all those looking for LOTR and The Hobbit official merchandise.

4. Merry Brandybuck

Just like his name, Merry (real name Meriadoc) is a jolly Hobbit who loves to play pranks and crack jokes. His antics, including the occasional firework theatrics, keep the spirits of all in the Shire high. He’s often seen with his cousin and friend Pippin Took. 

After separating from the pack, Merry and Pippin bravely navigate their own journey and their efforts are documented in the film The Two Towers. Now Merry has turned himself into a cute little yellow duck for collectors to get their hands on. 

The Hobbit official merchandise is incomplete without adding this merry little Hobbit to your collection. Our LOTR TUBBZ of Merry Brandybuck is holding a large mug of frothy ale, clearly ready to party!
