WETA Workshop, the world-renowned TV and film special effects company, recently unveiled a captivating new release from its "Classic Series" line, a 1/6 scale full-body statue of the FOUNTAIN GUARD OF GONDOR from "The Lord of the Rings"! A version featuring the White Tree is also making its debut simultaneously, with pre-orders currently counting down on WETA's official website.
In the story of "The Lord of the Rings," the breathtakingly beautiful white city of Minas Tirith symbolizes the glory of Gondor, and the "Fountain Guards" stationed at the vital locations of the pure white city, the Seventh Tier Fountain Court, and the White Tree, are equally majestic presences. This time, WETA's "Fountain Guard of Gondor," crafted from polystone, stands at a height of 47.5 cm. It not only fully recreates his magnificent silver armor, iconic helmet, and vigilant stance holding a spear, but also meticulously completes every detail with exquisite craftsmanship, from the golden engravings on various parts of the armor, the folds and natural drape of his robe, to his incredibly lifelike eyes. It is truly stunningly handsome.
Next is the deluxe version, which stands at 61 cm tall and integrates a hand-sculpted White Tree into the entire scene. In addition to the beautiful gradient colors and highly realistic bark texture sculpting, the intricate root system at the base and the visual effect of life bursting forth from the stone floor are also incredibly impressive.
