Every detail of this impressive figurine is derived from Wētā Workshop’s original 3D assets and has been meticulously researched and manufactured by Fanhome to ensure an exceptional level of detail. Builders will note the gold-colored luster of One Ring and the high-quality full metal armor and helmet, featuring the elaborate ornamental texture inspired by the thorny brambles of Mordor. Accessories include an adjustable fabric cape and detailed metal weapons such as a giant mace (17 inches long), a full-length sword (18.8 Inches long), a dagger, and broken Narsil sword. Together with a replica of Elendil's helmet, these accessories adorn the premium display base and enhance the completed statue’s imposing appearance.
