WETA WORKSHOP | THE HOBBIT SKULL OF SMAUG MINIATURE POLYSTONE STATUE

THE HOBBIT SKULL OF SMAUG MINIATURE POLYSTONE STATUE

1:25 scale statue

Recovered from the depths of the Long Lake, this fossilized cranium belonged to Smaug, last and greatest of the fire-drakes of the North.

The horn cores are long, tapering bones sheathed in black keratin, a material of exceptional durability even after millennia. The teeth, serrated and recurved, retain traces of gold fused into the enamel, a result of prolonged contact between the treasure-hoard on which he slept and the heat that resided within his breath. The immense jaw structure and resonating cavities of the skull once amplified a voice described as both enthralling and terrible.

This specimen can be displayed with jaw open, to evoke the roar that shook the Lonely Mountain, or closed, to capture the brooding menace of its repose. An unparalleled centerpiece, it would enhance any collector's treasure horde!

Weta Workshop was thrilled to work on the epic trilogy that was The Hobbit, contributing design, specialty props and specialty costumes.

Each Miniature Skull, a compact yet detailed artifact, offers a profound glimpse into the anatomy of Middle-earth. Enhance your collection with this unique curation and examine these creatures like never before.

It takes hundreds of hours to design, sculpt, model make, mold, and paint the prototype for each Middle-earth piece. Whether it be a prop replica, beautiful environment, or iconic character, Weta treats their collectibles with the same level of care and attention to detail that they bring to their film work.

Please note: images are of pre-production prototype. Each item is painted by hand and variations will occur.
