Sauron Unleashed statue from Sideshow and Iron Studios: price, size, and release window

• The hand-painted statue is now available for pre-order for $305 and is part of Iron Studios’ Art Scale line.
• Sideshow lists the statue at about 14 inches tall including the base, 8.9 inches wide, and 9 inches deep.

What happened

Sideshow and Iron Studios have unveiled the Sauron Unleashed statue as a new collectible for The Lord of the Rings fans. The piece depicts Sauron at 1:10 scale and is produced as a hand-painted statue within Iron Studios’ Art Scale series. The announcement is clearly aimed at collectors looking for a compact display piece rather than a large premium statue.

The statue is now available for pre-order for $305. According to the product information, it is a limited edition designed for display and collectors. That places it in line with the broader Art Scale range from Iron Studios, which often features smaller, detailed collectibles meant for a shelf, desk, or display cabinet.

Sideshow also lists the statue as measuring roughly 14 inches tall including the base, 8.9 inches wide, and 9 inches deep. The weight is listed by the retailer at around 5.7 pounds. Those dimensions make it possible to place the statue in a relatively small space while still delivering a clearly recognizable 1:10 version of Sauron.

For shipping, Sideshow gives an estimated window of October through December 2027, with a possible extension to March 2028. That is explicitly an estimate from the retailer rather than a final delivery date. At this time, there are no additional details confirmed about other versions, exclusive variants, or extra editions of the same statue.

Background

The Sauron Unleashed statue is part of Iron Studios’ Art Scale line, which focuses on smaller collectibles with a hand-painted finish. In this case, the subject is Sauron, one of the most recognizable figures from J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings. The choice of Sauron fits a lineup of collectibles that bring iconic characters from major franchises to a compact scale.

For now, the confirmed product details are limited to the Sideshow and Iron Studios collaboration, the 1:10 scale, the hand-painted finish, the dimensions, the weight, the price, and the estimated shipping period. There is no confirmation of extra variants or other editions, and no additional information about a possible exclusive version or an alternate release through another retailer. That means the current product page mainly provides the basic information collectors need to evaluate the statue.

The listed price of $305 places the statue in the premium collectible segment, but still below the higher price tiers sometimes seen with larger resin statues. The combination of a limited scale, a hand-painted finish, and a limited edition is typical for this kind of release. For buyers, the estimated shipping window is especially important, since Sideshow is already listing a range that stretches well into late 2027 and potentially into March 2028.

Because the shipping window is still an estimate, that schedule could change before the statue actually ships. For now, there is also no confirmation that multiple versions of Sauron Unleashed will be released, such as a standard edition and an exclusive variant. The available information is therefore limited to one announced 1:10 statue with fixed product details and a provisional shipping window.
