Value of 1979 Knickerbocker Lord of the Rings Action Figures

What are Knickerbocker Lord of the Rings Toys Worth?

"One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them, one ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them!"

Long, long before Peter Jackson created his Oscar-winning trilogy of movies, Ralph Bakshi had the rights to create a two-movie cartoon based on the Tolkein novels.

The first one was completed in 1978, but the sequel was never made, for various reasons.

In 1979, Knickerbocker Toys created a licensed line of action figures.

The set consisted of eight figures based closely on the animated versions of the characters:

  • Aragorn
  • Frodo
  • Frodo's horse
  • Gandalf
  • Gollum
  • Ringwraith
  • Ringwraith's horse
  • Sam

The figures are very hard to source, especially their accessories, which are small and easily lost. They are worth a lot if you locate them.

Value of Knickerbocker Lord of the Rings Toys

Knickerbocker Toys
Frodo

Loose incomplete $100

Loose complete $300

MOC Mint on Card $500+

Like most of the toys on this page, Frodo Knickerbocker figures don't show up too often. If it's missing the sword, then you are sadly looking at a much lower value.

Knickerbocker Toys
Frodo's Horse

Loose incomplete $500+

Loose complete $900

MOC Mint on Card $1,500

Even though Frodo didn't spend a lot of time on horseback in the movie, Knickerbocker chose to make him a mount. Strange decision.

But this is still collectible and much harder to find than the human figures.

Knickerbocker Toys
Aragorn action figure

Loose incomplete $200

Loose complete $500

MOC Mint on Card $800+

One of the most popular characters in the movie. His sword can sell for $100 on its own.

Knickerbocker Toys
Gandalf

Loose incomplete $400

Loose complete $900

MOC Mint on Card $1,250+

A well-rendered but somewhat fiddly reproduction of the wizard from the movie. The staff is worth $25-75 on its own.

Knickerbocker Toys
Gollum action figure

Loose complete $400

MOC Mint on Card $800+

The creepy, tortured creature who is both evil and pitiable.

Knickerbocker Lord of the Rings
Ringwraith action figure

Loose incomplete $400

Loose complete $900

MOC Mint on Card $1,500+

It's a shame that Knickerbocker only made one version of the Nazgul, but this one is nicely done. Weapons sell for $25-50 on their own.

Knickerbocker Lord of the Rings
Ringwraith's Charger

Loose incomplete $300

Loose complete $800

MOC Mint on Card $1,500+

The horse also comes with a shield, which naturally is often missing. Expect to pay $50-100 for the loose shield if you need to replace it.

Knickerbocker Toys
Samwise

Loose incomplete $300

Loose complete $700

MOC Mint on Card $1,200+

Frodo's faithful companion on the journey to Mordor. The 8th and final action figure in the Knickerbocker Lord of the Rings line.
