Yazneg Statue

The third Orc to join the ranks of 1/6 scale statues from The Hobbit Motion Picture Trilogy is Yazneg.

Sculpted by Daniel Cockersell.

A snivelling lieutenant in service to the great Orc chief Azog, Yazneg leads a band of Warg-riding hunters through the wilds of Rhudaur in search of Thorin Oakenshield.  Armed with a vicious barbed spear and spurred as much by fear of incurring his master’s wrath as his kind’s innate enmity for the Dwarves, Yazneg spurs his mount and snarls raspy commands to his fellow hunters as they bear down on the Company of Thorin.

Unfortunately for Yazneg, the intervention of Elrond’s Rivendell cavalry sees his pursuit cut short and his quarry escape. Having been outmatched by the Elves and lost most of his troop, he retreats to Weathertop to answer to Azog for his loss.  A lesser breed of Orc, Yazneg is no match for the giant of Gundabad. Returning empty-clawed from his hunt, he scrapes and crawls before his master. It will be the last time he fails the Pale Orc.

It takes approximately 400-500 hours to design, sculpt, model-make, mould and paint the prototype for each new character.

Sculpted and created by the same Weta artists and craftspeople who work on our movies, Yazneg joins our range of 1/6 scale characters from The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.
