Weta Reveals Cool New THE LORD OF THE RINGS King of the Dead Statue
Weta has revealed a new King of the Dead statue from Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings, and this thing is awesome! They completely nailed the incredible look of this character.
This is the third time that they’ve done a statue of this character and this is by far the best one that has been created!
Here’s the description of the character: “Deep within the mountain's dark heart, awaited the King of the Dead, a figure shrouded in ancient majesty and embittered grievance. The king, clad in spectral armour and crowned with the weight of countless ages, stood defiant. His eyes, burning with an unearthly light, regarded the supposed heir of Isildur™ with a mix of pride and scorn.”
Behold the King of the Dead, “an awe-inspiring 1:6 scale statue meticulously crafted by our master artisans. Emerging from the haunting depths of the Paths of the Dead, this spectral monarch commands a chilling gaze and haunting visage.
“Every detail, from the intricately sculpted armour adorned with ancient, tarnished symbols to the otherworldly glow in his piercing eyes, speaks of a cursed destiny and unyielding power.
In life, he was a king; in death, he is a legend. “Bound by an unbroken oath, he stands as a testament to honour and the dire consequences of broken promises. Let his presence in your collection serve as a reminder of the eternal struggle between duty and redemption.
“With an aura of unsettling majesty, this statue captures the very essence of the undead sovereign, making it a must-have for any dedicated fan of Middle-earth's timeless saga.”

“We really felt the need to revisit the King of the Dead and showcase him not just as a physical being, but an ethereal one, much like he appeared on screen.”
