WETA Workshop Polystone - The Lord of the Rings Trilogy - Skull of Gollum Polystone Statue

Weta Workshop was intrinsically involved in the design and physical effects manufacture for all three films of The Lord of the Rings? trilogy. It takes hundreds of hours to design, sculpt, model make, mold, and paint the prototype for each new Middle-earth 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. The skull of Gollum, a creature once known as Sm? agol?, presents a poignant study in tragic transformation.

The delicate and diminutive bone structure, marked by a high cranial vault and recessed jaw, reflects both his humble origins and the corruptive influence of the One Ring. Gollum? s skull, with its pronounced ocular orbits, hints at the profound changes wrought by his years in darkness. This artifact uniquely captures the essence of his dual existence, teetering between creature and wretch.
