The Lord of the Rings trilogy won seventeen Academy Awards. Weta
Workshop was intrinsically involved in the design and physical
effects manufacture for all three films.A creature born of foul
magic, bred for one purpose and serving only one master, was an
addition to the films that did not come from Tolkien's writings.
However, Lurtz quickly became an important character for fans
worldwide.His raw ferocity and domineering presence provided a
real, grounded, and immediate threat to the Fellowship, and his
savagery, etched forever in our minds, is captured now as an
integral part of the Classic Series.To celebrate the 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.Bred in secret by the
fallen Wizard Saruman, the Uruk-hai issued forth from the pits of
Isengard under the command of the towering, lynx-eyed Lurtz.
Driving his troops to run under a burning sun, Lurtz hunted
ceaselessly along the banks of the Anduin for the Fellowship of
the Ring.Among the first of his kind to be pulled from the earth,
Lurtz was tall, even for an Uruk. No sooner had he emerged than
Saruman bent him to his will, setting the Uruk-hai on their
snivelling Orc overseers in a test of loyalty and strength.
Without thought or regret the Uruks slew their lesser cousins,
binding themselves to the Wizard by marking their flesh and
shields with his sigil, the emblem of the white hand.‘Find the
Halflings!’ On the slopes of Amon Hen, the Uruk-hai fell upon the
Fellowship, chasing and scattering them among the woods.
Defending Merry and Pippin, Boromir of Gondor stood between the
hobbits and innumerable foes, cutting down Uruk after Uruk even
as Lurtz struck him with arrows from afar. Pierced by many
shafts, the warrior at last stumbled to his knees, spent, and
resigned to his death before the triumphant Uruk-hai. Savouring
the sweet taste of his victory, a leer curled across the toothy
mouth of Isengard's captain, and he raised his bow to send the
final dart…Features:1:6 scaleMade from high-quality
