One of the creepiest moments from the first Lord of the Rings film will be available as a very limited-edition statue soon. Weta Workshop's latest Master Collection statue will be available today from 2 PM PT / 5 PM ET, with the collectible being a snapshot from The Fellowship of the Ring that recreates the sequence where the Hobbits hide from a Nazgul that is in hot pursuit of Frodo and the One Ring.
Sculpted using both physical and digital techniques by Weta Workshop's Brigitte Wuest and Gary Hunt, the statue is made from Polystone materials and will require plenty of shelf space. It weighs almost 76 pounds, and has dimensions of 27.55 x 18.11 x 14.96 inches.

Weta hasn't revealed pricing just yet for the statue, but the special effects company has confirmed that only 500 of these pieces will be produced. If you miss out on acquiring this statue, there are plenty of other official options to plug the Lord of the Rings gap in your collection, such as this scale replica of Boromir before he met his tragic end at Parth Galen.
In other Tolkien-inspired news, the first image of Amazon's Lord of the Rings TV series has gone live, an animated film from Warner Bros. is currently in development, and details on a Balrog-sized six-movie 4K Blu-ray collection have emerged.
On the video game side of the franchise, the Nacon-published Gollum game showed off some of its gameplay earlier this year, as well as plenty of new details on the upcoming Middle-earth game. FTL: Faster Than Light composer Ben Prunty is also on the hunt for your ideal Lord of the Ring game pitches and has so far received a few great ideas from big names in the gaming industry.
