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. This Orthanc is the inspiration for Weta's latest environment from The Lord of the Rings.

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" (43cm) towers above the old collectible, which has allowed for intricate detail in the tower as well as the surrounding gardens.

A new Orthanc sculpture has been at the very top of the wish list from our friends on The Shadow and Flame message boards and David Tremont didn't need to be asked twice.
Dave has done a superb job documenting the model making process as well as the work done by his colleagues in the paint, mould making and sculpting departments in Weta Workshop.

Dimensions (H x W x D): 16.9" x 11.8" x 7.1" / 43 cm x 30 cm x 18 cm. This is an Open Edition Collectible.
