Description This little guy was actually done way back in September, requested at the same time as Legolas. He was a Christmas present, so in order to keep the surprise I left Frodo sitting on my hard drive for a couple months. Merry Christmas!

Once again, the props were the most difficult part of this doll with the hair being the most fun.

To make your own hobbit hair, curl yarn around a wooden dowl (thickness depending on how tight/loose the curls are) and hold it over a steaming, boiling pot of water for about fifteen minutes. Blow-dry to lock in the curl and voila! You have Elijah Woods!

Frodo is already sold, but if you want an angsty hobbit of your own, or someone who's eyes don't cause emotional scarring at twenty feet, e-mail me, send a note, or leave a comment. Thank you!

OMG. I need one of these so badly, it's not even funny. Amazing detail, and looks incredibly huggable. I am extremely envious of whoever got this.

I am the proud recipient of this doll. He stands by my monitor and keeps me company at my computer. I adore how he came out. His hair has relaxed a bit since the picture was taken, so he's looking a little emo. But he's great.

That's amazing! I hardly ever get the chance to hear back from the people these are made for, and it's always nice to hear that they're appreciated. Thank you for brightening my day.

It won't be as pettable, but you can also dampen the yarn with water that has a teeny bit of elmer's before you do the dowel wrap bit. Sometimes it helps.

Good idea! It probably keeps a tighter curl too.

Thats really good, I love the costume, it's really accurate. (except... his feet aren't hairy. Hobbits are supposed to have hairy feet )

Regarding the big angsty eyes. A comedian I am a fan of did a 'retelling' of LOTR, based on the movies and books (he thought it should have been a musical absolutley hilarious show, I was laughing so hard I was crying!). In his initial descriptiion of Frodo he mentioned that he lived with his Uncle because of the unfortunate scandal concerning his mother. Apparently she had had an affair with a Bush Baby [link]

Bush baby! Way to make my day with that one.

Acutally, the lady who requested Frodo asked me to add the hairy feet on before I sent him. I didn't get any pictures, but rest assuerd that he's suitably furry now.

StephaniePride In reply to sorgie [2007-01-02 07:21:39 +0000 UTC]

Yay for furry feet!

Oh the whole SHOW is like that! It's one of the funniest shows I've ever experienced. He put it on CD (recorded live with an audience) and I often listen to it while I work and it doesn't matter how many times I listen, it always has me giggling. The Balrog Song (sung from the POV of the Balrog - "when he said 'fly you fool', you see it was me he meant not you!" ) especially makes me laugh, and his timing is fantastic.

Uuuummmm *goes on a quick internet hunt* Here! [link] . The price is in Aus dollars. I honestly think ANYONE who likes LoTR should have it. It's pure genius!

OK, gush over

(buy it, buy it, buy it!)

AWESOME!!! *LOLOL* You mentioned a Frodo with curly hair before and for the life of me, I could never find him. Now I know why. *L* He looks amazing! Great detail!! The pic needs to be bigger so I can see it better. That's my only complaint!
