The enormous beasts from the Deep South, the mighty Mûmakil, are similar to elephants, only much larger. Frodo and Sam briefly glimpsed two of these creatures on their way to Mordor, but in the assault on Minas Tirith these mighty beasts are gathered in greater numbers and for terrible purposes. Armed with cruel armaments and saddled by their Haradrim masters with tall war towers, the Mûmakil charge into battle, crushing and destroying all in their path. From their high, precarious perches, the Haradrim hurl arrows and spears at their foes as their beasts trample both horse and man.

The defeat of one of the mighty Mûmakil is masterfully depicted in this polystone statue, sculpted by Weta Workshop artist, David Meng. With the war tower on the brink of collapse and all the Haradrim knights slain, this colossal beast is depicted in the midst of its inevitable downfall. Each piece is cast and painted by hand, and the base includes the artist's signature and edition information.

Sideshow/Weta

Californian company founded in 1993 as a producer of cinematic special effects which in 1994 also began producing collectible miniatures for various brands. In 1999 he decided to start his own business and launch his own line of miniatures which, right from the start, stood out for their extremely high level of attention to detail. In 2000 he created a partnership with the New Zealand-based Weta Workshop to design and create make-up effects, weapons, armor and miniatures for the director of "The Lord of the Rings" Peter Jackson; partnership which in 2001 extended to the production of collectible resin miniatures dedicated to Tolkien's entire universe.
