When this guy first popped on-screen in <em>The Lord of the Rings; The Fellowship of the Ring<\/em>, my jaw dropped with just how cool he looked, and last year at Comic-Con the same thing happened when I saw this amazing piece. Part of the reborn <em>The Lord of the Rings<\/em> statue line, this time fans get a large version of this mind blowing creature. Coming in at 20.5&#8243; high, with a weight of 33 pounds the Balrog is going to be a piece that will make everyone who sees your collection stop and look at it in awe. Shipping right now from all warehouses, the Balrog can be yours for $649 with an edition size of only 1500 pieces worldwide.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span
