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.

For many Tolkien fans, the journey into Middle-earth didn’t begin with blockbuster films or even the pages of The Hobbit—it began with the unforgettable 1977 animated The Hobbit movie. That beloved Rankin/Bass classic introduced an entire generation to Bilbo Baggins, Gollum, and the incredible world created by Professor J.R.R. Tolkien. Now, nearly fifty years later, Dark Horse Direct is giving fans a wonderful way to celebrate those memories, with brand-new vinyl figures of Bilbo Baggins and Gollum in their iconic animated appearances. For those who first fell in love with Middle-earth through this film, it’s incredibly exciting finally to have collectibles that pay tribute to such an important part of Tolkien fandom history.
