And then I cried when it was out of the box. The ones that were available were way too expensive (I KNOW they are rare, but 3x the price hurts.) So I kept hoping and praying Weta would one day decide to make it again. Years later I searched the web for that particular statue. Bloody goosebumps and uncontrollable emotions. ![]() (You know that one scene in the movie where the Witch King and Fell Beast fly up from the depths of the Dead City? Yeah. It was forever in the back of my mind as I have an indescribable love for Minas Morgul. Inside was an order slip for it\'s counterpart Minas Morgul. I want to give you bit of my backstory: a long, long time ago, Weta released the collectors box of The Return of the King, that included the mini Minas Tirith statue. Prototype model-made by Weta Workshop artists Leonard Ellis, David Tremont & Gary Hunt.Replica of the original film miniature, built by Weta Workshop for The Return of the King.Unique LED lighting (universal power adaptor included).Plug your environment into the wall to cast the corpse-light from the Dead City. This Limited Edition statue illuminates with a spectral green glow, replicating the iconic scene from the film. Minas Morgul is the dark companion piece to Weta Workshop’s iconic Minas Tirith environment. Two decades after he sculpted the causeway guards for the Minas Morgul shooting miniature, Weta Workshop sculptor Gary Hunt revisited the stone beasts, reducing the gruesome duo to microscopic size for the collectible. Referencing the physical model of the original Minas Morgul bigature created by Weta Workshop for The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, model makers Leonard Ellis and David Tremont recreated this miniature environment with exacting attention to detail: nine spikes protrude from the rusted eyrie, a perch for each Fell Beast orc tents litter the streets the Secret Stair, which Frodo and his companions climb towards Mordor, begins at the foot of the environment. Sam and Gollum must wrestle Frodo to the ground and away from the roadway even as the great black doors open and the Witch-king’s vast army pours forth. Exerted by the Ring and with the Nazgûl so close, the Hobbit struggles to remain composed and not yield himself to their summons. Hoping to sneak past the City of Wraiths and thereby into Mordor, Frodo and his companions pick their way carefully by the gruesome stone sentinels guarding Minas Morgul’s causeway. ![]() Under the gloom of Mordor’s darkened skies, a sickly green glow issued from the city, now renamed Minas Morgul, the Tower of Black Sorcery, and it became a place of dread. Orcs tore down the city’s structures and camped in its streets, their ugly, corroding fortifications encrusting its walls and staining once pristine bricks with black defilement. Halls once full of brave soldiers were haunted by Wraiths and their terrifying mounts. The Witch-king of Angmar descended and claimed the citadel as his keep.
