Balrog poster/big photo

[Lynxje]

I was just browsing on another forum and noticed this picture of someone's collection (don't know who, might even be a member here) and I just LOVE the poster/photo of the Balrog on the wall. Anybody got an idea where one would get a piece like that?

That one looks nice indeed!

 

[oxbeard]

Definitely an awesome poster. I would be interested to know as well.

That is also the first time I have seen any of the weapon sets hung as opposed to displayed on their stand.

would love to get that poster too.

Do you notice the lines on the poster?

It looks like it may have been a print out or something.

It appears to be one of the limited edition lithographs (1500 worldwide I think) from the LOTR fan club that was available several years back. I had the full set but someone made me an offer for them I couldn't refuse....

That is a poster that comes in as an insert from a Lord of the Rings book. I think it is called LOTR monsters or something, you can find it on AMAZON for less than 10 bucks. I cant remember which exactly, but Im on a mission to find it, as soon as I do Ill post a pic.

FOUND IT!! Only $8.95. Trust me, this is it.

So the poster in the book is always one of the Balrog?

Wouldn't mind trying it for 9 bucks, but after shipping and taxes it'll must likely be tripled before I get it in....

The back of the book states it includes 'a free fold out chart'.... doesn't really sound like this kick ass balrogposter to me.

Based on one of the reviews, yup this is it. It's a folded poster. Will definitely order this book.

I almost had the entire set myself once but this surely is not the one. This one shown is much bigger. I ended up selling my own set to honestypolicy, now I miss them.

Yes, it is always the Balrog. Actually back at the ezboard forums, a member named jimbo (james) who I see on as a lurker now and then, saw this same exact picture and bought the book himself. This was when the boards were still new and he got his framed and told me it came out close to $100.00 to have it done. He took pics and pointed out that it came from this book.

Nop,e the litographs are smaller than that.

I just tallked to Jimbo, here's a pic of his. Enjoy!

impressive at closeup. glad I've ordered the book!

 

[Turgon]

That close-up did it for me. ordering it!!

The best scene from FOTR immortalized.

The creases are a little jarring.

It'd be cool to find a hi-res image of this scene, and have it professionally printed.

Ditto. This is an awesome image, but the creases make it look really bad.

 

[TheWitchKing]

Same reason I never went for it. Looks nice regardless, but the creases bother me too much.

There was a poster for sale originally that had the Balrog, the bridge & Gandalf that said at the bottom: You shall not pass. It was a 24 x 36 vertical poster. It was sold out pretty quick and I have only seen it on eBay once maybe 3 times in the past 2 years.
