Some collectibles celebrate iconic battles. Others preserve the quiet moments that changed an entire world. Sméagol & Déagol: A Shadow of the Past by Weta Workshop recreates one of the most significant turning points in The Lord of the Rings mythology—the peaceful afternoon that unknowingly leads to the discovery of The One Ring™ and the beginning of one of fantasy's greatest tragedies.

Designed in 1:6 scale and limited to just 800 pieces worldwide, this premium statue blends cinematic storytelling with museum-quality craftsmanship. Featuring a striking dual-layer composition that reveals both the tranquil river above and the hidden danger below, this officially licensed collectible is an extraordinary centerpiece for serious Lord of the Rings, Middle-earth, and Weta Workshop collectors who appreciate narrative-driven sculpture as much as exceptional artistic detail.

Why Collectors Love This Statue

Unlike traditional character statues that focus on action poses, A Shadow of the Past tells a complete story through layered environmental design.

The transparent river surface creates a remarkable sense of depth, allowing collectors to view two interconnected moments simultaneously. Above the water, Sméagol and Déagol share a carefree afternoon fishing. Beneath it, the unseen presence of The One Ring™ quietly foreshadows the fate of Middle-earth.

The result is a highly cinematic display piece that rewards closer inspection from every viewing angle. Every element—from the tension in the fishing line to the movement of the submerged fish and the carefully sculpted riverbed—works together to recreate one of Tolkien's most important moments with remarkable precision.

Exceptional Craftsmanship

Every surface has been sculpted to reflect Weta Workshop's renowned attention to detail.

Collectors will appreciate:

• Intricately sculpted facial portraits with expressive realism
• Hand-painted weathering across clothing and accessories
• Realistic woven texture throughout the fishing boat
• Crystal-clear acrylic water layer creating convincing river depth
• Highly detailed underwater ecosystem with aquatic plants, rocks, and roots
• Natural water splash effects surrounding the boat
• Museum-quality paint application with subtle shading and earthy colour transitions
• Rich environmental storytelling rarely seen in traditional collectible statues

The layered construction transforms this piece from a simple character display into a three-dimensional narrative sculpture.

A Defining Moment in Middle-earth History

Before he became Gollum, Sméagol was simply enjoying a quiet day with his cousin Déagol.

That peaceful fishing trip would become the moment that forever altered the fate of Middle-earth. As Déagol is pulled beneath the river while retrieving an unusually large fish, he discovers The One Ring™, setting into motion the events that eventually lead to Frodo Baggins' quest, the War of the Ring, and the destruction of Sauron's greatest weapon.

For Tolkien enthusiasts, this statue captures not merely a memorable scene—but the very beginning of one of fantasy literature's most influential stories.
