oh my gosh! When Matt put it on, I immediately proclaimed in my bestest deepest voice the same thing: "Build me an army, worthy of Mordor" !

"We have work to do..."

Sauron's helm from the trilogy is probably my favorite of any helm on film. This art piece is worthy I say!

A uruk hai helmet is also good

I would love to see someone on Halloween with a Sauron costume. :D

Do you think youll ever release a full read of lord of the rings? your narration / voice over in your videos is so intriguing I would love a audio book of you reading all of the LoTR material

I second that

I would have bought myself this for Christmas but I ended up buying a house instead.... depending on who you ask it's an even tradeoff.

that barad dur piece looks good on its own and even though the eye is not book accurate you can never not see that awesome flaming eye after you've seen the movies

I’d seen this mask and it’s freaking amazing. They have several other pieces from LOTR that are nice

Before you took the wrapping off, it looked as though the filthy Orcses laid the Dark Lord himself into eternal slumber.... Until a Nerd named Matt came along and stole his helm!!! 😂😂😂

1:20 that laugh😂😂😂

There was once a 1:1 scale Sauron helm, either by Weta or United Cutlery back on the day. I think Post Malone has one! But this has been lost beyond time and memory…

Please darken the room when there is light effects. It's so immersive for us to see that fiery eye and lava of Mordor. Also it might be able to mount a leather strap on the back of the helmet to be able to wear

always love me a good unboxing video.

Beautiful piece :) Great review Matt. It’s not made to be wearable.

Thank you so much for the review!

It's amazing that the helmet is so iconic although it was only shown for about 30 seconds of total runtime in the entire trilogy.

This is awesome would love to see more lotr collectible stuff or even statues if they exist

Matt: oh my gosh *Gimli laughs* Love your videos😂

I was just looking at this yesterday. Super cool 🎉

Wicked thanks for showing us.

Got to watch the last half. Awesome piece!!!

Amazing piece!!

Awesome piece!!

Wow.

I bought thus also, and it turned out better than I could have hoped

Looks amazing!!!

It’s always such a nice treat for an extra NOTR video!

Great room!

I always thought that this is what Morgoth looked like before Sauron took on his master's appearance as he claimed himself as Morgoth returned.

I wish to one day feel the happiness that is oozing from this video

Cool!

OMG those are so incredibly awesome 😍🤩❣️ Thanks Matt for sharing❣️

I'd be counting down to Halloween.

This is so cool

$900 is a little too pricy for me! But that looks AWESOME!!!

As soon as I have saved up the money, I'll buy that one

I'm so jealous!

The mask hides half of the tower! I think I'd leave them separate. Although it did look cool to see the red eye of the tower through the mask's eye hole.

Neat collection.

Just by looking at his face you can tell he’s really excited lmao I would be too I am honestly so jealous

I thought wow I would want this just for Barad-dur alone, till I saw the Red Eye. That's a shame. But the helmet looks cool.

Matt: what is the mask made of? Given how big it is, for some reason, I was thinking it must be really heavy, but given how easily you are holding it, I'm thinking it's made of something fairly lightweight?

Omg! I want that so badly! I bet it costs a fortune though! It looks like you have everything in the background. It looks so bad ass!

I did Lithography in Uni, that Sauron one was so Dope!!!

damn that's cool

That box is as epic as Sauron's mask itself 😃😲Merry Christmas 🎄 Great gift 🎁 haha

Does it have lights for the eye 👁️ holes on Sauron mask?

The Gimli laugh!

Not yet! I hope to some day. Kinda want to get things less cluttered first. Lol

900 dollars for that mask .. Living the dream Mat xD

wow beautiful

I wonder if it's possible to order the Barad-Dur base without the mask...

Good video

Wow, next Comic Con outfit confirmed? ;)

United Cutlery makes a full helmet, which is much more accurate. I would recommend it over this IMO especially if your paying for it and not given one for free for a review 🤑. There is no rust on any of the Sauron film props and shouldn't be on this. If you're looking for a replica do your research.

Totally agree. Try to get United Cutlerys version if you can. I own both and the UC-helm, although not perfect, is an actual helm and much more accurate in regards to detail and paint-application. But I do have to say, that the mask by Pure Arts does have its merits. It is inaccurate in a lot of details and paint-application in my opinion. But in overall look and shape it captures the originals we actally see on film better than the UC-helm does. This specifically applies to the small deep-set socketed eyeholes, the accentuated cheek-plates, the generally sharper edges and the perforations around the nostrils. Latter are extremely accurate to the hero-prop. Also one has to keep in mind that there are quite some differences even between the originals. - I believe the UC-helm is based on a copy of a copy of the hero-prop, which doesn't exactly look like what we see on film. The PA-mask seems to be, although strongly altered, directly based on the hero-prop in my opinion.

It's beautiful. It's... Precious 😅

When we getting a tour of this room?

If one wants to buy the one ring on the internet, where is the place to find one?🙏🏼

You know when you look at the shape and structure of both minas tirith and bared dur. They look the almost the same but opposites theme styles. Minas tirith light and beautiful that gives life and the city of gondor Brad dur the dark themed that holds evil, darkness and almost mocks the beauty of gondor

What orders from Mordor my lord? What does the eye command?

Honestly, I was debating whether or not I should get this. But knowing that a Lego barad dur set is going to be released in 2024, I'm saving up for that instead.

🔥I SEE YOU🔥👁🔥

Just wear that next time you answer the door. 😅

pls Witch King helm

i wonder how ecited sauron was when he got his helmet in the mail

Puts on helm "well I guess I'll just have to conqour middle earth

I’d glue a hat on it so you could wear it

You are so worthy of the title nerd of the rings. As a PhD who specializes in psychological measurement and statistics, the accolade of nerd is given in high reverence!

dude isnt the helmet in the movie a bit like a mask anyways where the rest of the costume fills the back in

2:42 : Meh no Eye is dumB AF. LOVE Professor Tolkien, but this *was* an awesome change *and* for the better... Not the only one either... #SuuuuuuuckItBookNerds .

I hope you never put on the ring. You'd probably undermine Oxenmoot! Yeah,this mask shows us how terrifying Sauron looked!!

Dude, why? If any inanimate object could come to life and murder you in your sleep, it would be that one!! And then who'd give us all the great content??

Shame it isn’t built for wearing

First

I'm not sure that's the type of Christmas tree your family had in mind this year!🎄😁🤣❤️🍻🧝‍♂️🧝‍♀️🧙‍♂️
