Weta Workshop The Hobbit Key to Erebor Prop Replica by WETA

From New Line Cinema, Peter Jackson and Warner Bros. comes J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit, brought to the big screen in an epic trilogy. Weta Workshop was thrilled to return to Middle-earth once again, contributing design, specialty props and specialty costumes to all three films. Weta Workshop's authentic prop replicas are designed by the very same artists and technicians who work on our movies, using the same techniques and materials. We treat our prop replicas with the same level of care, quality and attention to detail that we bring to our film work. Centuries later, the precious key to this back door to the mountain kingdom would find its way into the hands of Thorin Oakenshield, grandson of Thror and the heir to Erebor - and with it, hope of restoring his throne. The Key to Erebor was designed by Concept Art Director John Howe and created for the film by the artists at the 3Foot7 Art Department in Wellington, New Zealand.This prop replica has been cast from molds of the original prop. It is cast in metal (Zinc Alloy) and comes on a stand made of polyurethane. Large and heavy, it is the kind of key you just know would open something important. Like the back door to a lost Dwarven Kingdom. Few escaped the fire of the Dragon Smaug when he fell with death and ruin upon the Dwarf realm of Erebor beneath the Lonely Mountain. Even fewer expected to find King Thror or his son Thrain among the survivors, but against all hope the Longbeards had escaped the sack of the city by way of a secret passage. Product features: 1:1 scale Made from high-quality zinc-alloy - heavy! Ultra-detailed and realistic – exact replica of the prop used in-game Comes with a display stand. Our authentic prop replicas and collectibles are designed by the very same artists who have worked on the three films, so effectively they come straight from Middle-earth Richard Taylor - CEO & Co-founder, Weta Workshop Please note: This product was designed and prototyped at Weta Workshop.
