The Éowyn vs. Witch-king 1:10 Scale Statue by Iron Studios is now up for pre-order, and it puts the most quoted standoff in The Lord of the Rings on a single base. It’s priced at USD 500 (appx. $500) and is expected to ship between October 2027 and December 2027. I’ve wanted a proper piece of this moment for years, so I’m paying close attention to this one.
The Éowyn vs. Witch-king 1:10 Scale Statue is a limited edition, hand-painted statue in the Deluxe Art Scale 1:10 Series from Iron Studios, based on The Lord of the Rings. It stands 36 cm (appx. 14.2 in) tall on its included base and costs USD 500. Expected shipping is October to December 2027, with a limit of 6 per person.
The Moment Iron Studios Picked
Any fan knows the scene: the Witch-king of Angmar, lord of the Nazgûl, looms over the battlefield, and Éowyn of Rohan answers his boast with “I am no man.” Building a statue around two characters instead of one is the right call here, because the whole point of the moment is the size difference between them. A solo Witch-king would be menacing, and a solo Éowyn would be heroic, but neither gets you the tension of her refusing to back down.
A Statue That Goes Wide
Here’s the number I keep coming back to: the base is 42 cm (appx. 16.6 in) wide, which is wider than the statue is tall. That tells you the composition runs sideways, a confrontation laid out left to right rather than a single figure posing upward. At 3.9 kg (appx. 8.6 lbs) it’s also a heavy piece for 1:10, so you’ll want a shelf that doesn’t sag in the middle.
Paint and Finish
Iron Studios calls it hand-painted, and that matters for a scene like this, where you’ve got dark Nazgûl tones next to the paler steel and fabric you’d expect on a shieldmaiden of Rohan. Getting contrast like that to read on one base without either figure turning muddy is a real test of a paint team. The images shown are of a prototype, so I’ll reserve final judgment on the finish until production shots arrive, and we’ll update this when they do.
How It Stacks Up
The obvious benchmark for Middle-earth statues is Weta Workshop, which built props for the films and set the bar for this franchise in resin. Iron Studios plays a different game, offering big multi-character compositions at 1:10 for a price well under what premium-format diorama pieces usually ask. If the production paint matches the ambition of the layout, this could be the Iron Studios Lord of the Rings piece that people point to.
Where It Sits on Your Shelf
At 23 cm (appx. 9 in) deep it’ll fit a standard display cabinet shelf, but give it the center spot, since it reads best from the front. It belongs next to other Return of the King moments, and a Rohan or Gondor display would frame it nicely. I’d keep anything else with wings or wraiths at a respectful distance so the Witch-king doesn’t have to share the menace.

The Collector’s Survival Guide: How to Justify This
The Collector Math: It took one woman, one hobbit and zero men to stop the Witch-king, because the prophecy said no man could. I’m one man with $500 and the preorder page open. Do the math; I never stood a chance.
How to tell your wife: Babe, when Aragorn asked Éowyn what she feared, she said one word: a cage. So she can’t go in a glass cabinet; she needs the open shelf, all 16.6 inches of it. I’m not hogging the living room; I’m freeing a shieldmaiden.
How to tell your parents: Dad, you always told me never to overpay for anything. King Théoden needed six thousand Riders to reach this exact fight, and Iron Studios gets me there for $500, about eight cents a Rider. I just out-haggled the King of Rohan.
How to tell your kids: This is the Witch-king, and only someone who isn’t a man can stop him. You’re not a man yet, so technically you outrank me in Middle-earth. That’s exactly why you’re not allowed near him.
The 42 cm wide base tells me Iron Studios built a real face-off instead of two figures standing near each other, and that’s what this scene has always needed. If the production paint holds up to the prototype, $500 for Éowyn’s “I am no man” moment earns the center of any Lord of the Rings shelf.
