Adam Savage Unboxes Sauron's Helmet From Lord of the Rings! 

12 hours later

“A…are you my judge?” “It’s just that you should be punished.” “I’m gunna chop off your arm. Are you ready?”

Ha!

😂

I'd highly recommend he audiobook series narrated by Andy Serkis. The pinnacle of audio book performance, the best voice actor in the world, reading one of the greatest stories.

I have your resident evil 2 licker bust. Amazing work you guys do. 👍

@@Ashassin1981 Thank you so much!!!

superb work!

Standing ovation Thank you

Thank you for creating such an amazing piece, absolutely gorgeous

You Qualify as a huge LOTR nerd if you know that information. :)

@@silentsnooper3307 Just rewatched all 3 extended. And yes i screamed Minas Morgul.

Minas Morgul was the first one, the Witch King's city. Barad-dûr is the one with the Eye.

Also, Celebrimbor most definitely did NOT help sauron create his armor. Besides his 'Annatar' form, who knows what he really looked like. He could shape shift but i think the armor is just for the movie

@@earendilthemariner5546 he is described as a humanoid figure of pure darkness with the barest of features atop barad dur casting storm cloud all the live long day and night so his legion vast of orc kind can move about without falling to a bad case of sun exposure.

He seemed like a kid on Christmas

I would have reacted the exact same way, which makes me completely confident to ask, "how many geeks does it take to open a prop shipping box?"

And both times he unboxed the styrofoam upside down?! I love Adam Savage, but as an actual collector who spends their limited funds on such pieces; it can be somewhat cringe worthy watching him unbox these things. And it's not odd for something to fall to the ground due to his mishandling, but I guess if any damage occurs they can probably fix it.... If they can be bothered to.

I screamed at Adam when he went after the packaging with the blade facing the object! Sometimes his inner child (let’s face it, it’s huge) gets the best of him.

Wat, how can that be true. Adam is obsessed with Weta workshop and the swords and armour, how could he show such a lack of respect by arbitrarily refusing to watch the full trilogy?

Ended up having a fatal flaw though . . .

Absolutely 100% agree, that has always bothered me on why the Witch King's helmet was always soo much more frightening and bad azz than Sauron's helmet. Even with Sauron being enormous and has full armor the Witch King looks much more formidable.

I actually think Sauron’s Helmet is far more cooler 🤷🏻‍♂️

@VB23 what is it about his helmet you find more appealing, I'm asking because I'm really curious as to why

@@ChatMania487 yeah but just imagine youre deep into a battle and turn too see someone wearing that, id bounce

It looks to be more accurate than the version made by United Cutlery

Thanks for the comment. I was about to put in my own two (nerd) cents.

Sure it's not Barad-dûr? You know, with the EYE and everything.

Every tool is a hammer, every castle is an Orthanc.

Barad-hûr! Yep!

Why trying to explain it in here? Shouldn't they know it before casting it?

Ah, correct but don't forget the early drafts. Celebrimbor and Sauron made MANY so called "Lesser Rings" before they finally mastered the makings of the 16 main rings together. Only Celebrimbor made the 3 elven rings in secret while Sauron was making the "One" also in secret. The reason the 3 elven rings are still effected by Sauron is because Celebrimbor used the same methods that Sauron taught him. This took years btw. The only rings that truly worked were the 9 rings given to the 9 Kings of Men. Due to Men's nature, unfortunately are highly susceptible to power and greed and they became the Nazgûl over hundreds of years and were at Sauron's bidding forever as long as Sauron lives or when the One Ring is destroyed. The 7 Rings that were given to the Dwarves, did not effect them in the sense to be controlled by Sauron. It only made them more greedy and become more obsessed on finding gold and staying in there mountains. Now for the 3 Elven Rings, was quite different. When Sauron put on the One Ring for the first time, Gil Galad, Círdan, and Galadriel could sense the evil and took them off in time and didn't wear the rings until Sauron was "defeated" in the end of the second age and when the One Ring was lost. Lastly. the ring that Bilbo had, was obviously the One Ring, but Gandalf for a short time thought it was one of the "Lesser Rings" that really have next to nothing or some magical abilities. There were thousands of these "lesser rings" and even more rings that were created by other smiths ages earlier. Gandalf thought it was just one of these other rings, especially when Saruman being the Leader of the Istari, said that the One Ring was forever lost, so Gandalf trusting Saruman didn't think much of it when he found out that Bilbo had a ring. This was one of the few "mistakes" he made assuming that Bilbo's ring was nothing to worry about. Sorry for the long response. lol, but I love sharing LOTR lore.

Sauron was a master crafter of armor as well as rings and so didn't need help making his own armor , and yes celebrimbor made three eleven rings in secret the rest were forged by sauron there were 16 in total if I remember correctly

@@Spartan-oj9dc yes celibrimbor and Sauron made the 16 together.

@@paulmartin6209 And a lot of lesser rings whose fates remain unknown but if they had any power, it would have vanished with the destruction of the one ring.

And the C is pronounced as a K. :)

It's Barad-dûr ffs if you're gonna nerd out do it right

@@LLPTV its MInus Morgul for the witch king

@@LLPTV Nope, definitely Minas Morgul. Barad-dûr was the second model, and although he did also confuse that one with Orthanc he was skeptical and asked for a fact check. I'm referring to the first model where he was 100% confident that it was Orthanc. Not to mention that the helmet that went with the first model was the Witch King of Angmar, you know, the guy with the *morgul blade?*

800 usd is the cost

@@DrN0VA. not as bad as I was expecting

@@operatorlxix5839 its 900 dollars probs does not include shipping and stuff

Because it isn't one of the 2 towers. The two towers are orthanc and baradur and the enemies saurumon and sauron.

@@weseethetruth158 I read up on it and apparently Tolkien decided to make it Orthanc and Minas Morgul in the end. But he came up with the title long before he decided which Two Towers were the Two Towers (apparently his publisher wanted a name in advance!)

@@TheMAZZTer Correct. "The second part is called THE TWO TOWERS, since the events recounted in it are dominated by ORTHANC, the citadel of Saruman, and the fortress of MINAS MORGUL that guards the secret entrance to Mordor." - JRR Tolkien 1954

@@TheMAZZTer yeah I've actually heard this debate before and since Tolkien changed so much I use the movies as the deciding factor and in the movies saurumon says they two towers orthanc and baradur. Which actually makes more sense in the context because we know the witch king did nothing without the say of sauron.

@@TheMAZZTer especially since minas morgal isn't really a tower so much as a keep with a spire. Whereas orthanc and baradur are literal towers.

If not I can't imagine it being too terribly difficult for Adam to rig it up with lights. Might make a nice one day "build" in fact

He didn't and wouldn't have if you noticed there's black speech script on the armour denoting it was made at baradur.

As far as I know there is nothing mentioned about Celebrimbor ("C" always being pronounced "k" in elvish) making Sauron's armour, in LotR or the Silmarillion. Also sounds very off as Sauron was definitely known to be a bad guy by the time he would need an armour made, his body died in the fall of Numenor (any armour he had being lost) and once reformed his allegiance would be known, which would have made the elves disinclined to make it for him. It might be something made up in the Amazon show but I haven't watched that one.

Sauron was a maia of Aule, the smith god. Sauron was a master blacksmith himself and probably made his armor himself.

Celebrimbor helped with the forging of the rings, that’s what he’s conflating. If he wasn’t so awesome idk if we’d forgive him for this heresy, alas… he is so we do 😂

No he did not. He never even knew Sauron in this form. He only worked with him in his fair form as Annatar, Lord of Gifts.
