Wētā Workshop was intrinsically involved in the design and physical effects manufacture for all three films of The Lord of the Rings™ trilogy.

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.

The beacons blazed with ancient promise, beckoning to Rohan, and so they heeded the call.

Before them, their comrades-in-arms endured the onslaught of the Dark Lord's minions, holding fast within their fortress. It was in this dire hour that King Théoden™ marshalled his forces, stirring the spirits of his kinfolk, condemning the shadow's oppression, and pronouncing their decree: Death.

This penultimate moment of majesty has been faithfully recreated here as a stunning sculptural masterpiece. Senior sculptor Mauro Santini worked wonders into every element of this collectible, from the imposing weight of the warhorse Snowmane™, about to burst forth with righteous fury, to the finely detailed leather armour of King Théoden, accented with brass plating and built for battle.

King Théoden’s armour is a well-known example of the level of care and dedication that Wētā Workshop put into realizing the world of Middle-earth, with the screen-used armour having been on display in our Wētā Cave for many years, the intricacies of each and every feature viewed in all its glory by thousands of fans from around the globe. It was evident that this collectible demanded a similar level of excellence.

As members of the same group that worked on these magnificent pieces over 20 years ago, our team was able to accurately and authentically recreate this glimpse of Middle-earth’s history—a sincere homage to an enduring legacy.

"He is my favourite character. I tried to convey all the emotions I felt while watching that scene, capturing the very soul of the character, especially in that moment when he shouts 'DEATH!' Even his horse embodies that battle cry, reflecting that strength. Théoden and Snowmane are in perfect sync, possessing an iron will determined to bring about that demise. It’s powerful."
