King of the Dwarves under the Mountain and possessor of the greatest treasure hoard in all of Middle-earth, Thror reigns supreme from his throne at the heart of the carved city of Erebor.

In the king's treasure halls, innumerable gold coins stamped with his likeness lie stacked thousands deep, yet still Erebor's living stone walls glitter with criss-crossing veins of unmined wealth: gems, gold and other precious metals.

But for all the Mountain's riches, it is one stone alone that proclaims the Dwarf Lord's sovereignty; the Arkenstone. Called the King's Jewel by Durin's people, it is a wonderous fragment left over from the forging of the world and has no equal in all of Middle-earth.

Adopting it as proof of his right to rule, Thror sits beneath his mounted prize upon a throne of carven stone, demanding fealty from all neighbouring lands. Receiving his subjects, ever the thought of his treasure rests heavy upon the knitted temples of the King, for a sickness lies upon Thror and his kin; a jealous lust for gold and power that can never be sated, a sickness that will doom his throne and rule the fate of his descendants.

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.

Please note: images are of a pre-production prototype. Each statue is hand painted and minor variations will occur.

  4. Stunning Piece of Dwarvish Craft!
    This representation is spot on! Thror brought to life in the glory of Erebor! I think my favorite \"extra\" here is the arkenstone - you can put a light behind it and make the Heart of the Mountain glow!

  5. WETA at its best - superb!
    You know how an online image may not live up to reality? NOT TRUE w. Thror. Sure, in-hand he's not an exact duplicate of the shown WETA pic. So go online and look up other pictures, because Thror IS THAT GOOD. Beautifully and neatly painted, lovely color washes, the gleam of beautiful gold detailing, a wonderful sculpt with a sense of aliveness and movement. A single piece that captures all of the richness of dwarf culture - as another reviewer wrote, it's a figure and environment in one. May be a brief scene in the AUJ film but iconic IMO to PJ's dwarves and to folklore in general - the dwarf king in his halls of stone. This figure is special and can't believe I sat on the fence re purchase, because I would have hated myself later. I wouldn't mind owning two - Thror is that good and IMO a bargain, all things considered. Can't stop staring at him and the exquisite details including the finger rings and raven crown and the gold-touched boots. Love the composition - just magnificent. He's a showpiece - the majestic Thorin's grandfather, indeed. Kudos to WETA for Thror!!!

  6. Epic Thror
    This piece was one of my first buys from the weta collection.
    Like many here it blew my mind. The way it's sculpted, the amount of detail and the quallity of the paint job done on it. Also the light up feature for the arkenstone was realy a good choice to add into the sculpt. It made an allready epic piece stand even more out. If you dont have this piece you will be left with a void in your collection you can't fill. I recommend this to anyone you won't be disappointed! Be quick stock is low

  9. He has Gold Fever!
    A solid, single piece statue with exquisite detailing from the finely banded beard, gem rings on his strong hands, rich Kingly garments right up through the towering throne with Arkenstone! Stunning piece.
    WETA have realised that the Arkenstone is a 'living' thing. But how do you represent this without including electrics, batteries etc? They have simply made the Arkenstone of clear material and built a little shelf behind it for us to put our own light source behind it to bring the Heart of the Mountain 'alive'.
    Thror looks as if he has been drawn straight out of the film and frozen in polystone. He (for me) even retains his manic 'Gold Lust' mad stare that Elrond predicts will be the fate of Thorin.
    Brilliant centre piece for the heirs of Durin.

  10. Thror: King Under the Mountain
    Magnificent detail! If you can spare the cash and space I highly recommend! Only criticisms is the Arkenstone is not as luminescent as I had expected. Also the box was a bit larger than I expected. Otherwise great and posted quickly.

  11. The King Under The Mountain
    What a beautiful statue. I received mine a couple of weeks ago and it is beyond beautiful. I would consider this statue not just a character, the throne feels like an environment added in! If you're thinking about picking this up, definitely do. It represents the dwarves at one of their greatest highs. The regal King Thror sitting on his throne. I also suspect that in the future this statue will be sought after. Thror is from an earlier time in Tolkien's world that we didn't ever see much on screen.

    This statue is also big. The pictures don't do it justIce. It's big, beautiful, and well worth picking it up.

    The only complaint I have is about the shipping, it was admittedly pretty slow, whether that's Weta's or UPS' fault, I can't say. But that's a small, small issue that is bound to happen sometimes.

  12. Absolutely Stunning
    I just received my King Thror on Throne and I am very very impressed with the size, color, detail and craftsmanship of this piece. Worth every penny. I know this has nothing to do with the product but the shipping was very slow even though I paid extra for fast shipping and there was a hole in both the shipping box and the box the statue came in. Other than that I am completely satisfied with my first Weta item and I will most certainly be purchasing more of them as time goes on. Thank you thank you thank you!!!

  14. UNMISSABLE!!!!
    Ok, my first review here.. I'll summarize. BUY IT!.
    As other reviews have mentioned, the photos don't do it justice AT ALL!!. This figure is of course to scale with the other figurines/Dwarves/Hobbits, and Gandalf, and looks sensational on display even by itself.

    Ok, so there is a deliberate area behind the Arkenstone to put some lighting in... so the VERY FIRST THING TO DO IS LIGHT IT :P :D ... I used 2x5mm AUTO colourchange LED's from Jaycar electronics in parallel with a 2xAA batter holder... no time for a switch yet as I HAD to see this ASAP!!...
    Think to the movie... when the Arkenstone is glowing... trust me guys you will HAVE to add this on... it COMPLETES the look and THANK YOU THANK YOU WETA for setting this up for us to make it possible.. it looks like the movie, as the 2 colour changing LEDs I used work at different speeds (one slow one fast) and they sit one on top of the other PERFECTLY... the result.. it glows in beautiful mixed random colours and eminates from the statue perfectly... a real site to behold!!!...
    I felt the need to really make this a major point as there are NO photos of it lit anywhere.

    There is NO WAY I am EVER selling this statue!!!... If you are on the fence on this one, and are thinking of collecting the complete set of the dwarfs, or just want your own little part of Middle Earth, then don't miss out on this masterpiece. Truly unique, beautiful, and something really worthy of owning. Don't risk missing out they are limited.
    Can't stop looking at this thing, its BIG and worthy of a major position in your display.

    Thanks again WETA you guys ROCK!!!!... You make the BEST LOTR/HOBBIT figures by FAR,

    Cheers all.
    :)

  21. Magnificent!
    I am absolutely beside myself with joy after receiving this amazing statue! I’m in awe and can’t stop admiring it! This is a truly beautiful piece, one of the best so far!

    Thror looks incredibly real – deep in thought, troubled with the safety of his treasure, gripping the throne with his wrinkled hands. His facial expression and his blue eyes staring and troubled impress me the most. Such a small face, surrounded with the kingly braided beard, gives up so much emotion. Thror’s outfit looks soft and rich, fit for the king, with lots of gold detail.

    The throne itself transports me to the grand halls of Erebor, and I can imagine all the riches of the kingdom and fully understand why the trouble is coming.

    Truly amazing detail all around! Made and painted to perfection!
    If you think about buying this piece – do not think twice! This is worth the prime spot in my collection. Thanks Weta!!!
