With the new Amazon show causing quite a buzz online, you might be wondering if there's any cool Rings of Power merchandise out there. Perhaps a t-shirt, or a Funko POP figure. Maybe even a cool map to hang on your wall.

And with the inclusion of Sauron (not to mention the potential for other established characters like Gandalf, continuity be damned), that might be happening here.

As such, it's plausible that the Rings of Power merch has had a similar fate.

Anyway. Because there's no Rings of Power goodies to speak of yet, we've gathered up our favorite Lord of
