    Official Description:
    Bred in secret by the fallen Wizard Saruman, the Uruk-hai issued forth from the pits of Isengard under the command of Lurtz. Driving his troops to run under a burning sun, Lurtz hunted ceaselessly along the banks of the Anduin for the Fellowship of the Ring.
    On the slopes of Amon Hen, the Uruk-hai fell upon the Fellowship, chasing and scattering them among the woods. Relishing the hunt, a leer curled across the toothy mouth of Isengard's captain, raising his bow to fell his prey… LURTZ, HUNTER OF MEN
    A creature born of foul magic, bred for one purpose and serving only one master, Lurtz quickly became a fan favourite. His raw ferocity and domineering presence provided a real, grounded, and immediate threat to the Fellowship, and his savagery, etched forever in our minds, is captured now as an integral part of the Classic Series.
    FEATURES:
    1:6 scale;
    Made from high-quality polystone;
    Digitally sculpted by the combined efforts of Bawal Saggi, Mike Asquith and Xi Wen;
    Created in celebration of the LOTR 20th Anniversary;
    Signature pose and armour.

    Lurtz is one of my favourites in the whole trilogy. His fight with aragorn, though short, is so memorable for his brutish strength, pinning him with the shield, it’s an awesome sequence.

      It's a truly great fight sequence. Lawrence Makoare is the man!!

      Exactly, amazing scene. It also beautifully highlights the power of aragorn. Regardless of the situation or opponent, give him a sword and 3 seconds, and you'll see swift and fluent display of greatness.
      If i recall correctly, even lurtz had expression of shock on his face when aragorn bursts in with the sword. IDK, it felt like a subtle hint at the potential skill of aragorn. A really good moment. Like great open-ended worldbuilding, leaving you to imagine and speculate more after seeing it.

      The Mirror of Galadriel would be a good edition to the collection.
      I had an idea for a good series for you to cover. "Films/TV shows that took direct influence from Tolkiens work.
      Eg. Horcrux's in Harry Potter are inspired from the rings of power and 1001 other direct moments inspired by Tolkien.
      So many shows and films have direct moments taken from Tolkien. It could be a fun project to cover.

      @@fingersTitan Everybody is inspired or borrows from each other, it would be to massive a project. Just look at Tolkien, he borrowed/was inspired so heavily by Norse mythology and Norse culture. The origin of Elves are 15 mins from where I live and I tell you, they are not nice like Tolkiens variants ;)
      Same with names like Dain, that is also known Norse dwarf and Gandalf means "Staff Elf" and Smaug is most likely Fafnir, the list goes on. To much to cover imo, just glad we have all the great inspired stories.
      Same as Witcher, inspired by European eastern folklore, same goes for Dracula etc.

    I am so not a collector of movie memorabilia, least of all miniatures of the characters. But this is so bad ass that it is very much making me rethink my stance. What you read about Weta trying to make his stance look like he was moving and ready for the kill… they nailed this. Everything about this miniature screams Lurtz and ready to kill.

But, I DO live near Seattle, WA (and pass Wizards of the Coast on my commute) so the chances look good.
      Vis: Live play- I like minuatures a lot, and the craft of it. (To the point where I'm trying a ship in a bottle, and, so far, its just a little, tiny bit more complex than I had estimated! 🤔😐😓😲)
