Weta Workshop The Hobbit Saruman the White at Dol Guldur Statue SEALED

Description

From New Line Cinema, Peter Jackson and Warner Bros. comes J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit, brought to the big screen in an epic trilogy. Weta Workshop was thrilled to return to Middle-earth once again, contributing design, specialty props and specialty costumes to all three films.
First among the Order of the Istari, the Wizards sent to Middle-earth to rally its peoples against the threat of Sauron’s return, Saruman the White was a being of great intelligence, learning and power, but also of pride.
He was sceptical of his fellow Wizards’ assertions that the darkness growing in the ancient fortress of Dol Guldur was anything that should concern them.
Nevertheless, as a member of the White Council, he joined Lord Elrond and Lady Galadriel when they went to Dol Guldur after Gandalf the Grey, held prisoner there. Wielding his staff against the nine resurrected Nazgûl, Saruman fought with all of his considerable might, but was surprised and humbled to discover Gandalf’s captor was indeed Sauron. In the wake of the Dark Lord’s flight before them, Saruman promised his fellow council members that he would deal with Sauron.
"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."
Richard Taylor - CEO & Co-founder, Weta Workshop
Saruman the White at Dol Guldur joins Weta Workshop’s high-quality 1:6 scale Middle-earth line; a line that has been designed by the very same artists and technicians who work on our movies
It takes hundreds of hours to design, sculpt, model make, mold, and paint the prototype for each new 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.
Please note: Images are of a pre-production prototype. Each collectible statue is hand painted and variations will occur.
Statue is brand-new in a factory sealed case, straight from Weta Workshop.
SHIPPING
We pride ourselves on a very fast turnaround time, 1 day or less on average. All statues are shipped (as we receive them from the manufacturer) in colorful inner boxes within brown outer shipper cartons, some have extra foam corners. We do not use a third shipper cartons. It would make the box bigger and heavier and it is very time consuming to do this as there are no standard size boxes for this. Each box is different.
Within the USA we ship using USPS, Fedex or UPS. Most of the statues cannot be combined to save on shipping costs, the boxes are just too big. Some of the action figures, diecast figures and smaller statues we can combine to save you on shipping. Please add them to your cart and click 'request total from seller'.
International shipments are sometimes difficult due to the size of the box. A lot of our statues are large and so are the boxes. USPS (United Statues Postal Service) is by far the cheapest way to ship these internationally. However depending on the destination country the maximum allowable size of a box varies wildly. The formula USPS uses is height + girth, so height +
2x(width+depth). Height for purposes of the formula is the longest measure of the box.
For instance a box that measures 22 x 16 x 22 inches comes out to 98 inches for purposes of calculating postage. For most Western European countries USPS allows a size of 108 inches. But for many other countries this is only 78 inches. Full details are on the website of USPS.
So what to do if you would like to buy an item that is too large to ship with USPS? You could use UPS or Fedex but in most cases these are very expensive options. What seems to work for a lot of international buyers is the use of a freight forwarder, such as Planet Express or MyUS. There are many such companies in the USA. We would ship to the local drop point (domestic) of your freight forwarder and they would handle the international part of it. If you choose a drop point close to our warehouse which in in Long Beach, CA the domestic cost of the shipment would be very low.
If you are interested in this please contact the freight forwarder of your choice and open an account with them. They will provide you with a US shipping address for all your purchases as well as shipping rates.
