Description
This is a pre-order sale. The current estimate from Weta is April 2027. However, as many of you are aware, not a single pre-order estimate in the past five years has been on time. As such, please follow the Castle Kon Facebook page for updates on this and other pre-orders. Also, if any other seller claims to have this before Castle Kon (other than Weta directly), it is most likely out-of-date information. Castle Kon will receive its pre-ordered amount 3 – 5 days after our distributor gets them in stock from Weta and we ship within a week of receiving the items.
We are setting a $100+ FREE SHIPPING for US customers and discounted shipping for international folks with non refundable deposit with the remainder due March 31, 2027. If the item is shipped earlier, Castle Kon will email to pay earlier. If the ship date pushes out, we shall move the remainder pay date accordingly (or try to since the system does not always work sorry!)
*Non-refundable note: Castle Kon does not get refunded the PayPal / credit card fees when providing refunds. As such, we are moving to a credit transfer process. For example, if you purchase this item for deposit of $100, and desire a refund, we will cancel the pre-order and provide a $100 credit toward any other order with Castle Kon OR will provide a 95% refund ($95.00).

We are proud to present to you: Weathertop, faithfully capturing one of the trilogy’s most pivotal locations in a richly detailed collectible environment.
Drawing on original film references, our artists reconstructed the ancient watchtower of old from blueprints and set designs, before carefully breaking it down into ruin, ensuring every crack and fallen stone feels authentic. This digitally weathered Númenórean architecture was then balanced alongside hand-sculpted terrain, bringing the historical hill into reality.
Tucked into the side, but no less important, a stony cave glows with subtle firelight, both inviting and foreboding. An honest act of naive hobbits drawing the imminent ire of the Ringwraiths’ attention.
The paint scheme, a subtle application of moody twilight and dusky hues, captures the tension and atmosphere of that fateful night, recreating the tonal palette of the on-screen scene.
A seamless fusion of digital craft and hand-made artistry, this is Weathertop as it lives in memory; an essential centrepiece for any Middle-earth collection.
FEATURES:
- Limited Edition of 1000;
- Made primarily from polystone;
- Depicts Weathertop as seen in The Fellowship of the Rings;
- Architecture digitally sculpted by Charlotte Key;
- Environment physically sculpted by Shaun Bolton and Shanti Costar;
- Includes incredible details and fidelity thanks to original blueprints, on-set references and imagery;
- LED lights evoke a flickering campfire illuminating the surrounding twilight.
