The Lord of the Rings trilogy won seventeen Academy Awards. Wētā Workshop was intrinsically involved in the design and physical effects manufacture for all three films.
It takes hundreds of hours to design, sculpt model make, mold, and paint the prototype for each new Middle-earth piece. Whether it be a prop replica, beautiful environment or iconic character, we treat our collectibles with the same level of care and attention to detail that we bring to our film work.
Deep within the heart of Mount Doom, where the heat of the flame saturates the air, thick like the very magma it erupts from, lies the Dark Lord’s forge: Sammath Naur.
Here, within the Cracks of Doom, Sauron wove his dark magic to craft a weapon from the very fires of the earth itself—a weapon meant to dominate all of Middle-earth.
With rings bestowed upon various rulers and leaders of the land, including Dwarves, Elves, and Men, Sauron melded his very essence into the One Ring, aiming to exert his influence over the others. The Ring served as both a tool and an extension of the Dark Lord himself, a vessel of his power, and a conduit for his eternal will.
Features:
- Made from high quality polystone
- Approx. 7.5 inches tall
- Depicts Sauron as he forges The One Ring seen in The Fellowship of the Ring
- Sculpted by Luke Hawker, who helped create many of Middle-earth’s make-up effects and prosthetics for the film trilogy.
“Our authentic prop replicas and collectibles are designed by the very same artists who have worked on the three films.”
– Richard Taylor – CEO & Co-founder, Wētā Workshop
- Ages: 14-99
- Country of origin: China
*Please note: images are of a pre-production prototype. Each sculpture is hand painted and some variations may occur.
