Before him, the very air turned cold and the courage of lesser hearts failed. A king lay broken beneath his horse, yet between the wraith and his prey stood a lone warrior. Flail in one hand and cruel blade in the other, the Witch-king advanced with the certainty of one who believed himself beyond defeat.
For long ago it had been foretold that no man would bring about his end.
Few figures in Middle-earth command dread like the Lord of the Nazgul. This Classic Series statue captures the Witch-king at the height of his power upon the Pelennor Fields™, confronting a seemingly unworthy foe. He advances with slow, deliberate menace; his dominance over the battlefield absolute.
His iconic helm rises in a towering spire, ringed by a crown of jagged spikes. Beneath it lies only shadow: a hollow void where a face should be. Tattered robes hang heavy from his frame, their woven texture frayed by age, while overlapping plates of armour encase his shoulders and arms. In one spiked gauntlet he grips a pitted, ancient sword. In the other, the barbed chain of his flail trails toward the earth, its great spiked head resting upon the churned ground of the battlefield.
This statue was physically sculpted by Brigitte Wuest, who is no stranger to Ringwraiths, and whose work on the Witch-king of the Unseen Lands first captured his spectral form for the Classic Series. Here, every surface is treated with care to convey his ancient malice. The cold, battle-worn sheen of his armour stands in contrast to the deep, matte darkness of his robes, while the dust of Pelennor settles into each ragged hem. Drawing on the original props and costume, each detail stays faithful to the screen while giving him a new weight and presence on your shelf.
A formidable addition to the Classic Series, the Witch-king makes the perfect companion to Éowyn, Shieldmaiden of Rohan. Displayed together, the two recreate one of the most celebrated confrontations in The Return of the King. Where she embodies courage in the face of fear, he is the fear itself.
