Wētā Workshop has another exciting Middle-earth collectible heading our way, as the new Faramir – Charge on Osgiliath statue is officially up for pre-order! Capturing Faramir during the desperate battle for Osgiliath in The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, this impressive piece is limited to an edition size of just 860 pieces worldwide. Collectors looking to add the Captain of Gondor to their displays will need to set aside $999 USD, with the statue currently expected to begin shipping in Q1 2027.
This will be our 24th edition of the Bagginses Birthday Bash in Griffith Park. Head to the link below to RSVP and list what you will bring to the party. You can also email me at Garfeimao(at)TheOneRing.net to RSVP if you are not on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/events/1369087481317252/
The party will start at 11:30am on Sunday, September 20, 2026 and will be a potluck sort of party, as usual, so please do mention what you plan to bring so we know what to expect and what holes need filling.
There will be fun and games, including a Dessert Contest for the best Fellowship of the Rings themed cake or cupcakes, or just theme it around 25 (for the 25th anniversary of FOTR). Costumes most welcome, there will be prizes.
If you couldn’t make it to San Diego Comic-Con 2026, don’t worry—we’ve got you covered! In the Middle-earth Tour video linked below, we’re taking Tolkien fans on a tour of some of the convention’s biggest destinations for Middle-earth collectibles, giving you an up-close look at the incredible statues, figures, and artwork that had collectors buzzing all weekend long.
One of the most iconic moments in The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King takes center stage in our latest review here on TheOneRing.net! In this review we take an in-depth look at Wētā Workshop’s incredible King Théoden on Snowmane statue. This breathtaking collectible captures the King of Rohan at the very moment he leads his legendary charge across the Pelennor Fields. Inspired by Bernard Hill’s unforgettable performance and one of the greatest battle sequences ever put to film, this statue perfectly embodies the courage, determination, and nobility of Théoden as he rallies the Rohirrim with the unforgettable cry, “Death!”
Wētā Workshop Brings Middle-earth Magic Back to San Diego Comic-Con 2026
San Diego Comic-Con is nearly here, and Wētā Workshop is once again preparing to make Booth #3613 a must-visit destination for Tolkien fans and collectors alike. Returning to SDCC from July 23–26, the award-winning New Zealand studio has assembled an impressive lineup of special guests, exclusive reveals, live demonstrations, and one major surprise that The Lord of the Rings collectors won’t want to miss.
When Weta Workshop unveiled the King of the Dead 1:6 Scale Statue during San Diego Comic-Con 2024, it immediately became one of the standout collectibles of the show. Priced at $599 and limited to just 700 pieces worldwide, the haunting masterpiece didn’t stay available for long. Today, the statue is completely sold out. The statue showcases the cursed ruler of the Army of the Dead as seen in The Return of the King, standing approximately 16.7 inches tall and making breathtaking use of transparent resin to capture his ghostly, otherworldly appearance.
