Weta Workshop was intrinsically involved in the design and physical effects manufacture for all three films of The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
To celebrate upcoming 20th anniversary of The Lord of The Rings, the team at Weta Workshop have created a special line of polystone statues featuring Middle-earth’s major characters in their signature pose and clothing. The Classic Series is Open Edition and has been tailor made to fit beautifully on your shelf.
In the heart of the ancient city of Minas Tirith stood a small unit of guards, resolute and vigilant, like a steadfast pillar of Gondorian valour.
Clad in gleaming armour, they stood beside the long thought dead White Tree of Gondor, a symbol of a thriving bygone era, and an emblem of lingering hope, awaiting the return of their king.
The Fountain Guard's watchful eyes scanned the horizon, ever on the lookout for any sign of danger. Silent and steadfast, for silk wrapped their faces as a reminder of their oath, he stood there, a sentinel of the realm, keeping a watchful eye over the White Tree. In this moment of stillness, the Fountain Guard became a living testament to the bravery of Gondor's defenders, past and present.
As long as he stood, unwavering and resolute, the heart of Gondor would continue to beat, undaunted and unbroken, against the tides of adversity.

“Whenever you look at each collectible, for me, it just plunges me back, twenty plus years, to the day we may have been dressing this on to the actor, or test fitting it in the workshop, or frantically trying to get it ready for the shoot. Quite often, things would be made in the last minutes before we were filming, and this was one character that certainly fit that bill.”
