With the adaptation of the Lord of the Rings trilogy to the big screen so came the flood of collectables in every form. From toys to tea cups collectors everywhere could relish in the moments of the characters of J.R.R. Tolkien. Among the line of statues from Sideshow came the
Ringwraith. This menacing figure has since seen several representations since its reveal but lets look into this sculpt of the nine riders.

I was late the game when I started collecting and this statue was already sold out in the exclusive version. Ill have to admit being a greenhorn to statue collecting I was not even aware of the exclusive version of this but was mesmerized by the pictures I had seen of the standard edition. Even after I had become aware of the switch out hand for the exclusive version it mattered not to me I was happy without the extra piece. Now though as I have progressed in collecting I can see the value of the extra hand and wish I had acquired it. It more or less changes the regular version of this representation of a Ringwraith into what we are now accustomed to seeing as not just a Nazgul but the most powerful of the nine The Witch-king of Angmar
