The One Ring colorway is the only one with the One Ring inscription on the weight ring, but there are a few other spots where the inscription shows up.
The UNseen edition has an alternate rim engraving. Someone very skilled in elvish will need to decode it.
There’s also a YYE-exclusive colorway that has the ring inscription in the cup.

Wait… what’s this cozy little house?
While working on this project I connected with @mag to work on art for several of the engravings (Nenya, Vilya, Narya, Arkenstone, both sides of Smaug) and for the box artwork itself. The engineering of the box is similar to the “mk1 hex box” that I’ve used since the Mk1 Umbra, but turned on its side and squashed into a friendly Hobbit-hole shape.
It has full inside/outside printing with fun little details, and it’s Hobbit-sized!
Thank you Mag for all the great ideas & the tremendous work you did on the packaging!

Last two - Elfstone and Arkenstone.
These aren’t rings, but the Arkenstone is a big plot point (and a big gemstone) in the Hobbit, and the Elfstone is green so I love it automatically.
Based on internal team polling, Arkenstone and Nenya will be the main comp colorways in this lineup, because they have easy to see colors and matte rings!
The poster pictured under the yoyos is included in every box - though it will be folded to fit. One side has a big render of the One Ring, and the other has information about all of the colorways.

@MarkD when do these drop again?
7pm EST it seems
Not gonna lie though, i am disappointed these have serialized numbers on the cup.
never liked the concept or the out of place numerical, ruins the aesthetics for me. wish it was inside the response area or sth like the recent G2 roman numbers that are more subtle.

I’m not seeing any serial numbers but maybe I’m just being blind.
