Long had Gil-galad™ led the Elves, and long had he joined with the hands of Man, to defend these lands from the forces of darkness. After a bloody campaign, beating back Sauron™’s armies to the foot of Mount Doom, Gil-galad, alongside Elendil™, steeled his resolve and strode forth to face the Dark Lord’s wrath. Whilst his foe, The Dark Lord, wielded the One Ring of Power, Gil-galad held might unimaginable; unyielding, he marched on.
Gil-galad™ was the last High King of the Noldorin Elves. Within this moment, in Middle-earth’s darkest time, he, a great king, held both the hopes and the history of his people. Capturing that uncompromising determination and staunch resolve was integral for our team to do this statue justice.
Gil-galad wasn’t alone in his final confrontation with the Dark Lord, and neither is he alone as a collectible. Designed in part as a trilogy of companion pieces, Gil-galad stands gallantly alongside Elendil™ to face off with Sauron™, creating an immaculate recreation of Middle-earth history.
FEATURES:
- 1:6 scale;
- Limited Edition of 737;
- Depicts Gil-galad as he appears in the Battle of the Last Alliance;
- Digitally sculpted by Fabio Paiva with reference from the original movie costume;
- Designed to be displayed with companion pieces Elendil and Sauron, Lord of the Rings.
“Even though Gil-galad™ received a relatively minor amount of screen time, playing such an important role in the history of Middle-earth, he was always a character we dearly wanted to portray. In creating this collectible, we wanted to honour the High Elven King; treating him with the respect he so deserves.”
