Whether it be a prop replica, beautiful environment, or iconic character, we treat our collectibles with the same level of care and attention to detail that we bring to our film work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Goblin King ruled vast hordes of goblin-kind from forgotten caverns below the Misty Mountains™, a self-proclaimed sovereign whose cruelty was matched only by his vanity.\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDelighting in a twisted harmony of melody and torment, he mingled song with the screams of his victims: anything to feed his greed and ever-swelling appetite.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDigitally sculpted by Daniel Holland, this statue captures every unsettling detail of the character's unique anatomy. Drawing on extensive reference material from our work on the films, Daniel carefully recreated the Goblin King's sagging, diseased flesh and imposing physical presence with remarkable authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe paint application elevates the sculpture's grotesque realism, with layers of sickly pale flesh, bruised undertones, and infected yellows bringing the creature vividly to life. The result is a striking study in corruption and decay: an outward manifestation of a creature warped by both unnatural growth and the passage of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompleting the display are the Goblin King's crude symbols of power. A bone crown perched atop his misshapen head. A gnarled wooden staff crowned with an amalgamated skull; shrunken trophies hanging beneath as a grim reminder of past victims. Beneath his feet, a crooked timber platform lashed together with rope and scattered with bones serves as a suitably primitive base for the self-styled king.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRepulsive yet unmistakably memorable, the Goblin King is a standout addition to any collection of creatures or villains.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade primarily from polystone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDepicts The Goblin King, as seen in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCaptures the grotesque tyrant, ruling over his malignant kingdom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDigitally sculpted by Daniel Holland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003e“Our authentic prop replicas and collectibles are designed by the very same artists who have worked on the three films, so effectively they come straight from Middle-earth.”\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRichard Taylor – CEO \u0026amp; Co-founder, Weta Workshop\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAges: 14-99\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry of origin: China\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e*Please note: This miniature environment was designed and prototyped here at the Workshop.
