Notice how the gothic theme is translated to the adjoining greave (ankle and shin armour). These are the standard Nazgûl version of the sabatons, with a carrion or reptilian like representation. What are all the fashionable wraiths wearing for footwear? How about some sporty looking, segmented and articulated metal sabatons, something you won't likely see in the Nike lineup this year. These details are depicted in the images below.Ī comparative image with the Nazgûl (left) and the Witch King version leg armour (right). There are notable differences between the Witch King and Nazgûl versions of the leg armour The Witch King's armour has a different knee fan or wing that splays on the outside of each leg, and a pointed and smooth sabaton (foot). Shown above is the Witch King version of the legs. Matching the gothic style of the gauntlets, this armour is formed in 16 gauge steel and is an intricate assembly of perfectly fitting laminations and components feet (sabatons), shins (greaves), knees and upper thighs (cuisses).

If any of the images look familiar to you, it's because they've graced a great many product promotional materials as 'authentic' pictures of the original costumes used in production, not so, but we thank those for the guised compliment in the mistake. We are considering marketing a bug repellant based on this system later this year. In addition to park enjoying pedestrians and cyclists, we actually noticed animals and insects fleeing our photo session zone.

Our earliest incarnation of the costume in 2001 is pictured below in a photo test at a local park. ( below right ) Forced perspective: Be thankful that you don't wake up to a view like this. 'You wouldn't have change for a Shire penny would you? My steed isn't fond of concrete and my Fell Beast is in the shop.'
