In a great black tower in Isengard dwells Saruman the White. Before the great wizard was turned to the dark side, in the time when Gandalf sought council with Saruman - the head of his order - Isengard was lush and green and its gardens lent themselves well to a contemplative stroll.
Weta has previously created an Orthanc collectible based on Isengard AFTER Saruman and his orc cohorts felled the trees and turned the once-pleasant sanctuary into an industry of war and destruction.
This new Orthanc at just under 17 in (43cm) towers above the old collectible, which has allowed for intricate detail in the tower as well as the surrounding gardens.
It joins previous environments from Weta, such as Rivendell and Bag End as well as the long sold-out The Argonath and The Prancing Pony.
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.
