Weta Workshop's Faramir: Charge on Osgiliath Opens Pre-Orders at $999

Weta Workshop has opened pre-orders for Faramir: Charge on Osgiliath, a 1/6 scale statue depicting the Captain of Gondor leading his men into the orc-occupied city during The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. Confirmed via theonering.net, se7en.ws, and ixbt.games, the piece is priced at $999 and limited to 860 units worldwide.

This is a mounted horse-and-rider centerpiece, not a standalone figure, which puts it in a different size category than most of the statues we've covered from this studio. A 25% non-refundable deposit is required at pre-order, with full delivery estimated for the first quarter of 2027.

We're covering what's confirmed about the piece itself here, plus an honest look at where it does and does not fit against EVORETRO's actual catalog, rather than stretching a claim that doesn't hold up at this scale.

For more from this pillar, see our original Weta Workshop Gimli statue guide.

The Moment the Statue Captures

The sculpt freezes Faramir mid-charge, sword pointed forward and mouth open in a battle cry, astride a galloping horse as he leads the doomed assault on Osgiliath depicted in the film's extended cut.

That galloping pose is a meaningfully more ambitious sculpt than a standing or seated statue, since it has to convincingly sell both the horse's motion and the rider's momentum in a single static piece.

Scale and Real Dimensions

The statue measures 45.7cm in height, 60cm in width, and 28cm in depth, which converts to roughly 18 inches tall, 23.6 inches wide, and 11 inches deep, with a total weight of 8.3kg.

Those are statue dimensions most collectors don't encounter often, since a mounted horse-and-rider piece at 1/6 scale takes up dramatically more shelf footprint than even a large standing statue from the same scale line.

Materials and Construction

Faramir: Charge on Osgiliath is built from polystone, metal, and polyurethane, materials consistent with Weta Workshop's premium statue line generally and appropriate for a piece carrying this much weight.

The combination of materials here matters practically, not just for finish quality, since a piece this heavy needs a genuinely stable base to support the galloping pose without strain on the horse's legs.

Pricing, Limited Run, and Pre-Order Terms

At $999 for a run limited to 860 pieces worldwide, this is priced and limited consistently with Weta Workshop's other premium 1/6 scale statue releases, though the mounted format pushes it toward the higher end of that range.

The 25% non-refundable deposit at pre-order is standard practice for this studio's limited runs, with the balance due closer to the Q1 2027 delivery window.

An Honest Note on Display Case Fit

We'd rather say this plainly than force a claim that doesn't hold up: none of EVORETRO's real display cases come anywhere close to fitting a statue at this scale. Our largest acrylic case, the Acrylic Modular Case, tops out at 12 x 12 x 12 inches, well short of this statue's 23.6-inch width alone.

There's no dedicated large-format case in our current catalog built for a mounted horse-and-rider centerpiece, and a reader looking for one here deserves that answer directly rather than a stretched recommendation.

Where This Leaves a Collector

A statue at this scale is generally meant for a dedicated shelf or stand built to its specific footprint, which is a different planning problem than what most of our protection guides address.

If you're also building out a shelf of smaller Middle-earth pieces alongside a centerpiece like this one, our general display products can still help those smaller figures, even though they were never built with a statue this large in mind.

Planning Shelf Space Before the Statue Arrives

With a Q1 2027 delivery window, collectors who pre-order now have several months to plan dedicated shelf space, which is worth doing well before the statue ships given its unusual mounted-horse footprint.

A galloping horse-and-rider pose also needs clearance on all sides rather than just vertical headroom, since the piece's dynamic stance extends outward in a way a standing statue of similar height would not.

Common Mistakes

  • Assuming a general acrylic case built for action figures will fit a 1/6 scale mounted statue.
  • Underestimating the statue's footprint by focusing on height alone rather than its full 60cm width.
  • Missing that the deposit is non-refundable before committing to the pre-order.
  • Confusing this release with the studio's smaller, previously covered Lord of the Rings statues.

A Statue Worth Clearing Shelf Space For

Faramir: Charge on Osgiliath is one of the more ambitious pieces Weta Workshop has announced in this pillar, and it genuinely needs dedicated shelf space planned around its own footprint rather than a standard display case. If you're building a wider Middle-earth shelf around it, our 4-Step Acrylic Display Stand can still give smaller companion pieces their own stage, even though it wasn't built for a statue this size.
