The Lord Of The Rings : Saruman the White Figure
SOLD OUT!
A powerful and sagely wizard, head of his order, Saruman was one of the wise who sought to prevent the Dark Lord Sauron's dominion of Middle-Earth. Lured by the lust for power, however, Saruman became one of the principal adversaries of the Fellowship of the Ring, sending his Uruk-hai soldiers against them to gain the Ring for himself.
Amazingly detailed 1:6 scale statues that have been hand cast in heavy weight polystone and hand painted to the highest standards. The display base has been etched with the map of Middle-earth and also includes the Lord of the Rings logo, the character's name and sculptor's signature. These are authentic replications of the film's central characters and each figure has been endorsed by the actor who portrayed the character on film.

Excellent sculpt of CL as Saruman and the poor mans only representation of Orthanc.
Superb and to be displayed with Grima only - which is why mine is still in storage until Grima arrives from the Golden Hall. Hide.

Sideshow Weta’s seminal Saruman the White was my first introduction into the world of ‘high end’ collecting. And what a fine introduction it was; one that leaves you little choice but to be enticed by this new territory. Winning it as a prize made it all the sweeter.
And after all of these years– frightening how many it’s been– Saruman remains an undenied classic. It’s a statue that does not leaving you wanting or wishing for this or that. Furthermore, never is it clumsy or encumbered with unnecessities. If you’ve been collecting more than a short while, you know such balance is not terribly commonplace. Hat’s off to you, Mr. Asquith.
The image of Saruman ruminating over the Palantir is hauntingly iconic in the best way. There’s a certain classical aura here, as is there with the finest SSW pieces. It’s what sets these beauties apart from everyone else. The likeness, the pose, the composition; nothing is lacking here.
And then there’s Grima, a pairing with which adds an extra dynamic, though one should never make the mistake in thinking it a crucial addition. It’s Wormtongue that gets the most of out of this pairing. This White Wizard stands well, in his palantiri solitude or not.
It’s a complete piece of art, a satisfying one- the sort that never goes out of vogue. Hide.
