The Chronicles of Narnia: Minoboar Maquette

Weta Collectibles is proud to present a new range of collectible polystone sculptures celebrating the release of the first installment of "The Chronicles of Narnia", Disney's The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, directed by Kiwi, Andrew Adamson. These collectibles are hand sculpted at Weta Workshop by the same team of artists who designed the armour, weapons and many of the creatures for the film.

Brutish, filthy creatures, as Minotaurs are to bulls, so Minoboars are to pigs- part man, part boar. Burly and strong, the Minoboars are foot soldiers in the White Witch's army, able to disrupt entire enemy lines with their vicious charges.

The powerful, stocky soldiers are protected by dirty, heavy, leather armour over their already thick hides. They carry no weapons, preferring to inflict grievous wounds with rusty blades and spikes on their armour and their large, sharp tusks.

Design Maquettes are quick sculptures used to refine the design of a creature beyond drawings and paintings, allowing the concept to be realised in a three dimensional form.

The Minoboar Maquette is close to the final form the character takes in the film and has been cast directly off the original maquette used by Andrew Adamson and the Weta Workshop team during the design phase. It measures approximately 12-inches tall (305mm) x 8.5-inches wide (216mm) x 7-inches long (178mm).
