Wētā Workshop was intrinsically involved in the design and physical effects manufacture for all three films of The Lord of the Rings™ trilogy.
Primary: Polystone
Secondary: Polyurethane
The skull of an Orc originating from Mordor exhibits a strikingly aggressive morphology, with features that mirror yet deviate slightly from typical Orc anatomy.
Its pronounced brow ridges and deep-set eye sockets suggest a highly developed capacity for focus and aggression, likely adapted for low-light environments. The robust, sharpened jawline and enlarged canines indicate a diet that includes raw flesh, while the dense, reinforced cranial structure points to a life of constant physical confrontation. High attachment points for neck and jaw muscles imply enhanced bite strength and a capacity for sustained close combat.
Every aspect of the Mordor Orc skull reflects a creature evolved for brutality, endurance, and survival in harsh conditions.
MINIATURE SKULLS: A CURATION OF MIDDLE-EARTH

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.

A NOTE ON OPEN EDITION COLLECTIBLES
This piece is an Open Edition piece, meaning it is not restricted to a specific number of reproductions. However, this does not guarantee Wētā Workshop will continue to produce the statue in the future. We recommend purchasing your Open Edition statue early to avoid disappointment. Should you miss out, please contact us at support@Wētānz.co.nz. Demand will determine if this collectible is reproduced.
It takes hundreds of hours to design, sculpt, model make, mold, and paint the prototype for each new Middle-earth piece. 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.
