TheOneRing.net “Lord of the Rings” San Diego Comic-Con 2026 Exclusives, More

One does not simply walk past TheOneRing.net’s Comic-Con booth.

The long-running, popular fan site that covers all things J.R.R. Tolkien is returning to San Diego Comic-Con, and you can journey to Booth #1934 for author appearances, exclusives, returning fan favorites, and more.

Throughout the weekend, they’ll also be giving away free bookmarks and stickers while supplies last, including a “I’d Rather Be Having Tea with Tolkein” bookmark.

Those looking to make the journey there and back again to the world of Peter Jackson’s Middle-earth films will find author Kellie Rice at the booth all five days of the con, signing copies of Middle-earth from Script to Screen. Co-written with Wētā Workshop designer Daniel Falconer, the 2017 release pulls back the curtain on the making of all six of Peter Jackson’s Middle-earth films, showcasing the artwork, craftsmanship, and creative process behind the beloved trilogy and The Hobbit films. It has long been out of print and highly sought after by collectors, but the book is returning in celebration of the 25th anniversary of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.

Rice will also join Sir Richard Taylor for signings at the Wētā Workshop booth on Wednesday, July 23 from 8pm-9pm and again Sunday, July 26 from 9am-10am.

Fans will also find TheOneRing.net panel on Sunday.

But the biggest news this year is their San Diego Comic-Con exclusive: The Prancing Pony tankard and shot glass, a Hobbit-scale (read: oversized) drinking set sized to make anyone feel like they’ve just wandered into Bree. The real wooden tankard from Burgschneider stands over 6″ tall and holds more than 27 oz, while the oversized Lumengrave shot glass holds a whopping 7 oz. Pre-orders for on-site pick-up are available for $120 now, and also include an exclusive limited-edition Prancing Pony Pint Club pin from Middle-earth Enterprises. The set is available for pick-up only at TheOneRing.net Booth #1934, with no shipping available.

You can also celebrate Middle-eath’s most musical legends with this hand-drawn, hand-silkscreened “Merry Dol, River-daughter” tee. A limited “Album Cover Variant,” featuring black-and-white artwork on cream, will be available exclusively on Preview Night at TheOneRing.net Booth #1934.

Last year’s The Prancing Pony Club shirt is also making a return, once again featuring hand-drawn artwork by Daniel Falconer. This year, the fan-favorite design will also be available in a women’s cut. But regardless of which style of shirt you’re after, be sure to hit up the booth early if you want to bring this one back home to your hobbit hole with you.

Artist Jackson Robinson of Kings Wild Project has also created a brand new exclusive gold foil art print featuring Tom Bombadil, exclusive to San Diego Comic-Con. The artwork is based on a card that was never ultimately produced.

Collectors will also want to keep an eye out for the sold-out official The Lord of the Rings pencil box set from Blackwing. TORN will have a very limited quantity available, with each set including the coveted golden One Ring pencil. My precioussss.

And while not exclusive to TheOneRing.net, attendees can also visit the Middle-earth booth on the show floor, where they’ll find the Prancing Pony Pint Society pin, and custom Elvish lanyards
