The Crack of Doom - MX600 Designer Vignette by Mithril Miniatures

Mithril Miniatures occasionally produces custom projects for customers to allow them a chance to have their dreams realized. Tom Wrich has commissioned a superb mini-vignette and Mithril has 100 available for sale for 34.95 Euro (ex. VAT) or 42.99 (incl. VAT). It is a first come, first served policy.

The Crack of Doom vignette includes Frodo, Samwise and Gollum, all key characters from J.R.R. Tolkien's books "The Lord of the Rings". This scene depicts the final moments before Gollum's demise in a pit of molten lava in Mount Doom in Mordor.

Frodo and Sam have gone through all sorts of hell to get there, even capturing (temporarily) Gollum along the way as a guide, to reach the 'birthplace' of the One Ring, which Frodo inherited from Bilbo Baggins at the start of the first book, so they can dispose of it. The One Ring, as all Tolkien fans know, contains most of the power of Sauron, the book's top nemesis to all that is good in Middle-earth.

The final moments of seeming victory turned sour when Frodo's will breaks at the last moment and he refuses to destroy the ring, and instead puts it on to escape. Gollum however has been tracking the couple and attacks Frodo at that very moment and bites off the finger with the One Ring. Gollum finally achieves his own personal goal since he lost the ring waaaaay back in The Hobbit book, and Bilbo discovered it on his adventures and kept it. Gollum is consumed with glee, and momentarily forgets where he is standing (on the edge of a cliff) and loses his balance and falls into the lava below, taking the One Ring with him. The lava is the only thing hot enough to destroy the One Ring and with it all the power Sauron needs to achieve total domination over the land.

This is such a pivotal piece that Mithril has assigned MX600 as the number for this vignette.

This vignette is 32mm scale and is primed and does require some assembly.
