Recommended music: The Warsaw Symphony Orchestra – The Uruk-Hai (Live)
On this #TolkienThursday, we’re still under attack by Orcs. Not just any orc, it’s the Diamond Select Uruk-Hai Orc!
This Uruk-Hai was released as part of series four in the DST Lord of the Rings toy line and was likely the first one I picked up. I don’t normally collect 7-inch scale Diamond Select figures as they are usually just a bit too big to fit in with a 1/12 scale display. This guy, however, was an exception as being a generic orc means he’ll look just fine mixed in with a ToyBiz orc army.
Besides the ugly (and accurate) Uruk Hai head seen here, there is also an alternate helmeted head and weapons option that I display with orcs from The Two Towers. He also comes with a pair of open hands, but I wouldn’t recommend them unless you don’t want your Uruk-Hai to be able to hold a cool shield and scimitar at the same time.😄
In addition to the multiple display options, this line also offers 16 points of articulation in their orcs, far more than the ToyBiz line from 20 years earlier.
