Weta Statue : Fell Beast and Morgul Lord

Witch King, Sauron's most dreadful servant, and the leader of the Nazgul. He was once a man and a king, but he was doomed by the ring given to him by Sauron. The witchking appeared in many scenes in the movie. We see him in the Weathertop scene with the other four Nazgul trying to capture Frodo. In that scene we see the detailed face of WithcKing. In this statue we see the Witch King in armor on Fellbeast.

Let's talk about the Fellbeast a little bit. ''The Fellbeasts are Winged steeds of the Nazgul. The Fell Beasts were huge, larger than any bird, and their wingspans were great. Their wings were made of hide stretched between bones like horned fingers and they had no feathers. They had beaks and long necks. The Fell Beasts smelled foul and they shrieked. ''

This statue was in my mind for a long time. Luckily a friend of mine decided to sell it to me. This was a chance, not to be missed. The reason is this is an 3000 limited statue and it is really hard to find. It's one of Weta's pride. The Sculptors who worked on this statue are Brigitte Wuest and Jamie Baswarick. Now on the title it says that this is an Artist Proof Ediiton and it's true. I was looking for an any numbered edition of this statue, now ı have an artisit proof one. What else can ı ask for ? :) Brigitte Wuest recently, sculpted the Female Templar ( limited to 1,000 pieces ), from Weta's new line of statues, Hellgate London.

The Fell Beast and Morgul Lord is captured in this amazingly detailed statue. It is hand cast in heavy weight polystone and hand painted to the highest standards. The display base is designed with the map of middle earth as usual. The pose of the sculpture is very good, although the details on Morgul Lord are not very high. The reason to that is probably it is too small. The dimensions of this statue are too small compared to other Lotr statues. I wish they had made it much bigger. Now that Sideshow announced and introduced their new statue Eagles vs Nazgul at San Diego Comic Con, it's for sure that we are going to see something really big.
