One from a four-part series of Troll busts, reproductions of the actual pre-production maquettes used during the design process for the film 'Return of the King.'

Artists at WETA created these maquettes under the direction of Richard Taylor, studies of the various trolls that fought for Sauron during the siege of Minas Tirith. These maquettes were used by the artists tasked to determine the final armor design & skin coloration, and served as reference for the digital artists that brought the trolls to life on screen.

This is the sturdy and immensely strong Seige Tower Troll, seen in Return of the King steadily pushing the immense towers full of orcs closer and closer to the city walls.
