Barrow Wight

Barrow Wight action figure

The Barrow Wights were evil spirits that inhabited the Barrow Downs (these were east of the Old Forest near Buckland). These spirits were from Angmar, where the Witch King (Lord of the Nazgul) had once ruled. They would try to trap their prey and then sacrifice them, and Frodo and his company ran afoul of them on their journey from the Shire to Rivendell.

The figures for the Barrow Wight were very detailed and used rooted hair. There were originally three versions of this figure, but a fourth, mass-market version was created. The Wight has 11 points of articulation - bending knees and elbows, twisting wrists, thighs, shoulders and neck. The Barrow-Wight was designed by Todd Lockwood and sculpted by S. Sugita.
