The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien is an epic fantasy trilogy published in 1954 / 1955. [1] It was the sequel to the earlier book The Hobbit (1937) and both are covered here. These two works are licensed properties that have spawned several films, games, toy figures, collectibles and miniatures; almost every high fantasy product has been influenced by them.
The Grenadier Models and Mithril ranges (listed below) were designed for use with the Middle Earth Role Playing Game (MERP)
