About This Item
The War of the Rohirrim returns audiences to Middle-earth™, to the time of King Helm Hammerhand™, a ruler whose courage and strength helped forge the legacy of Rohan™. Set over a hundred years before The Lord of the Rings trilogy, the film reveals the harsh history of the Rohirrim™, in an iconic animated style. 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. In those days of bitter winter, there was none who stood taller than Helm, for his spirit was as a mountain of iron in the face of his foes. Clad in mighty helm and armed with sturdy fist, he guarded his people as fiercely as the trolls that stalked the snowbound hills. A warlord king in truth, King Helm of Rohan wielded his strength against all who threatened the Riddermark™, and the shadow of his resolve lay long upon his enemies’ hearts. The Helm of King Helm is a testament to the expertise and passion of our seasoned Middle-earth artisans. Building upon what was designed for The War of the Rohirrim, Weta Workshop concept artist Daniel Falconer reimagined the helmet from the original 2D animation as a fully functional piece of armour, worn and battle-scarred by history. Expert sculptor Shaun Bolton then crafted the design in clay, breathing life into every ridge, dent, and worn edge with the authenticity only decades of experience could provide. Having both worked on The Lord of the Rings film trilogy, Falconer and Bolton have channelled their dedication to Middle-earth into this intricate, miniature relic—capturing not only the might of King Helm but also the timeless legacy of Rohan.
