Re Bree Cap K noted: Bree is also the name of a village in Middle-Earth
In the current (Jan-Feb 2001) issue of "Ireland of the Welcomes" magazine there is an article about the Tolkien folk which is about where the "authorized and authentic miniature reproductions of every single character from both The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings are being created and sent out to the furthest reaches of the globe."
It's being done in Kilnnamartyra near Macroom, Ireland at "the factory of Prince Albert.". The quotes denote right from article which I haven't finished yet. (Too distracted by the color photographs!)
There is a note at the end which says : " The range of Mithril figures can be viewed on thier website www.mithril.ie
