About This Item
Weta Workshop was intrinsically involved in the design and physical effects manufacture for all three films of The Lord of the Rings™ trilogy. 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. There upon the narrow spine of the mountains, where shadows clung like cobwebs and the wind wailed through black stone, rose the Tower of Cirith Ungol. Hewn in an age of watchfulness by the men of Gondor ™, it had long since fallen into ruin and ruinous purpose, defiled by the hand of the Enemy. Rusted iron crowned its jagged crest; torn banners whispered of ancient honour lost. An ancient tower, reclaimed by shadow; reimagined by masters. Every brick, every crooked beam, every jagged parapet has been sculpted with the same level of artistry, worldbuilding, and reverence that defined the physical sets of the films. This collectible draws directly from the designs created for the screen, capturing the tension, texture, and mood of one of Middle-earth’s most haunting locations. Once a Gondorian watchtower, Cirith Ungol was overtaken and corrupted by the forces of Sauron; a clash of proud stonework and cruel additions of iron, leather, and timber. From its gnarled battlements to the grotesque Watchers who guard its gate, this environment is layered with storytelling, crafted to evoke the same wonder and dread fans felt when first seeing it on screen. A tangible echo of the trilogy that defined a generation, crafted for those who still believe in the magic of Middle-earth. Features Limited Edition of 750 Made primarily from polystone Depicts the fortress where Frodo™ was imprisoned and Samwise™ dared all to save him Me
