This is Cool! Royal Doulton Gollum HN 2913 Middle Earth Tolkien Figurine 1979 Vintage LOTR

Item Description:

Capture a piece of fantasy history with this rare Royal Doulton Gollum (HN 2913) figurine. Part of the limited Middle Earth series issued between 1979 and 1984, this hand-painted ceramic piece depicts the iconic character in his signature crouching pose.

Designed by David Lyttleton, this figurine features a high-gloss finish with a dark, earthy color palette. Gollum is seen perched on a grassy base, hovering over a skull—a nod to his darker nature in the Misty Mountains.

Why This Is Collectible:

Shipping Information

PLEASE NOTE: I only ship one (1) day a week, so please, if you pay on a Wednesday (example day), and I just went to the post that week, and I don't go till the following Thursday (another example day), this means your item will not be shipped for eight (8) days. It is miles to the post, and I have regular work, for this I am sorry. If you pay for Priority, this is just the "form" of shipping, not that I jump up and ship it that day. Thank you for understanding. We charge for Priority shipping in the US, all others please inquire.

NOTE: I do not ship anything Media Mail unless it can be shipped Media, so please don't ask. Also, please check shipping options on items before asking; there are usually multiple options listed. I do refund overage on shipping; it usually takes up to two days after the item is shipped.

New Note on Shipping

It seems eBay is taking a percentage of all shipping I charge you, and then PayPal takes their percentage. Having said this, I have found I am losing between $0.50 cents to $1.50 on every package I send out. This is wrong of them, but it means I have to add a "handling charge" to all packages I mail out. Please complain to eBay for all us small sellers. This is not right, but I can't afford to lose $15.00 to $25.00 average a week. There will be a $1 (US) and $2 (Foreign) handling charge to all packages.

Note on International Shipping

I cannot put proof of delivery on packages out of the United States. If you want to have the package tracked, add $30.00 to shipping, or you accept (by bidding) that the US Customs label is acceptable as proof of delivery. If not, I am sorry, I cannot be responsible for lost or delayed packages. I can only prove I mailed it. Sometimes your country's Customs takes a long time to clear. We do use eBay Global Shipping when available.
