It’s real, and it’s spectacular. The copyright date is 1978 by Tolkien Enterprises, and the manufacturer is Royal Family by Cannon, which I’m pretty sure refers to the American textile company Cannon Mills (1888 – 2003).
The comforter (twin sized) doesn’t appear in the 1979 LOTR/Tolkien Enterprises catalog, and this is the first time I’ve seen one, so there can’t be too many floating around.

That is amazing. “The black riders” look like they took some imagery from the movie but added a lead nazgul based explicitly on the action figure. Love the fellowship picture — which was also on the SPI War of the Ring game box and I assume was on the movie poster. Neat find!
You’re right about the action figure! I didn’t even notice that. Such a marketing orgy…
The Fellowship picture is original art (Aragorn looks like he’s 70) based on Mike Ploog’s awesome promotional poster for the film, seen here: http://popdaddyvintage.com/shop/promo-brochure-lord-of-the-rings-by-ralph-bakshi-united-artists-1978-mike-ploog/
This comforter is awesome! Where did you find it! I want one!
Hello. I knew this post is from awhile back. But I’m wondering if you have any idea where to find either this sheet or comforter for sale? Seems impossible to find so figured I’d ask you since you had found one. Tha is for your time.

Wow, I had this sheet set (and curtains!) growing up. I would literally pay probably anything if I could find a set now….
