With the launch of their newsletter tonight, Sideshow Collectibles has announced a brand new Premium Format figure to their Lord of the Rings line-up: The Moria Orc. Unlike the polystone statues of the past, Premium Format figures are made with a mix of polystone, cloth, metals and other materials to give them a more life-like appearance. They are usually produced in 1/4 scale so we can only imagine the detail on this hideous creature of Moria. Pre-orders should begin next Thursday, but for now, jump over to the SideshowCollectibles.com website and view the sneak peek. And if you haven’t already done so, check out the other LOTR Premium Format figures available for purchase. [Preview the Moria Orc] [Other LOTR Collectibles]
