The Moria Orc Premium Format figure is now available for pre-order at the Sideshow Collectibles.com website. More importantly, the EXCLUSIVE edition of this piece is available for pre-order and it features a interchangeable extra head with helmet for alternate display. That piece is only available via the SideshowCollectibles.com website and they usually sell out pretty fast. Here’s a brief description of the piece from their website:
The Moria Orc Premium Format figure is a stunning 1:4 scale reproduction. Standing 20 inches tall atop the display base, the Moria Orc posed in the heat of the battle, ready to attack any man, hobbit, or wizard foolish enough to enter Moria. Each figure is hand-painted and hand-finished, and individually hand-numbered for authenticity.
If you collect the Sideshow Premium Format line-up, you won’t want to miss this one! Perfect to display with Frodo or Lurtz. [Pre-Order]

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]
