UNBOXING AND ASSEMBLY
CREATING TREEBEARD
Four years and 2,800 hours in development, this fine art 1:6 scale sculpture is the realisation of a long-held dream for the crew of Wētā Workshop, who brought the character of Treebeard to the screen nearly two decades ago.
Wētā Workshop senior concept designer Daniel Falconer, who was part of the original design team on The Lord of the Rings, led the design and art direction of the statue. It has been sculpted in masterful detail by artist Troy Nickel.
In July 2018, Treebeard was unveiled at San Diego Comic-Con – much to the delight of the gathered crowd, which included not just The Lord of the Rings fans and collectors, but lovers of fine art, sculpture, and the artistry of filmmaking.
Standing at more than 3 feet tall, this incredible piece is Weta Workshop’s tallest 1:6 scale collectible yet.
