The skull of a Balrog is an exceptionally rare specimen; due to the creature’s transient nature—composed of shadow and flame—powerful and complex arcane methods were employed to achieve calcification of its remains.
This preservation presents an invaluable opportunity to study the ancient origins and dark power that define this formidable being.
Massive in scale, the skull of this Balrog displays elongated, curving horns reminiscent of a goat’s, which appear to fuse seamlessly with the frontal bone to form a protective, armour-like carapace. The supporting bone structure is distinguished by a network of ridges with minimal flat surfaces, indicative of a creature developed to endure intense heat and pressure.
This specimen also possesses multiple sets of fanged outer dentition, complemented by dense rows of large molars, indicating a specialized design for both piercing and grinding. The robust jaw structure points to an immense biting force, maximizing its destructive potential. Each anatomical feature reveals a creature shaped for dominance, resilience, and a primordial bond with fire.
Each Miniature Skull, a compact yet detailed artifact, offers a profound glimpse into the anatomy of Middle-earth. Enhance your collection with this unique curation and examine these creatures like never before.

“Our authentic prop replicas and collectibles are designed by the very same artists who have worked on the three films, so effectively the come straight from Middle-earth.” - Richard Taylor – CEO & Co-founder, Wētā Workshop
Wētā Workshop was intrinsically involved in the design and physical effects manufacture for all three films of The Lord of the Rings™ trilogy.
It takes hundreds of hours to design, sculpt, model make, mold, and paint the prototype for each new Middle-earth piece. Whether it be a prop replica, beautiful environment, or iconic character, we treat our collectibles with the same level of care and attention to detail that we bring to our film work.

Most sixth scale figures come double-boxed automatically when purchased through Secret Compass! Most other dealers will slap a label right on the cardboard shipper and ship that way with no protection. Secret Compass recognizes the value in your collectible figure and we always double-box the cardboard shipper, which comes fresh out of a master case so it shows no sign of shipping before it ships to you.
Because this item still in production, we do not know the final weight or dimensions, or even how many boxes there will be. Therefore, we cannot give you an accurate quote for shipping. Actual shipping rates will be determined when the item is in stock, and will be reflected on your final invoice.
