Description

"You’re late."

 With that iconic line, one of fantasy’s most enduring friendships was brought to life in The Fellowship of the Ring.

The third statue in our Masters Collection is a celebration of moments such as these: the intimate, within the epic.

For the astute-eyed fan, there are hidden treasures within.

Order yours, and discover them precisely when you mean to.

NO STONE, SWORD, OR SIGNPOST UNTURNED

The Weta Workshop crew sought to craft Gandalf and Frodo in faithful detail – with a few surprises to reward keen-eyed collectors.

Sculptor Steven Saunders had the benefit of set drawings and blueprints from 3Foot6 Ltd’s art department, where the cart was designed and built for the trilogy. With digital software, Steven used these references as an overlay for the sculpture to ensure fidelity to the film scene. Model-makers David Tremont and Leonard Ellis physically retextured the resin 3D print with an intricate level of real-world detail.

Each firework in Gandalf’s cart has been replicated directly from its film version where possible. To fill the cart, the Weta Workshop crew looked beyond what was seen on screen, basing select designs on original, previously unseen conceptual art from The Fellowship of the Ring.

The resulting sculpture has a genealogy that can be traced to the heart of Middle-earth.
