From Peter Jackson's "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy comes this fantastic vinyl kit of that cruel and evil wizard, Saruman! This unassembled and unpainted vinyl kit from Star Toys of Germany features a great sculpt that really captures the likeness of actor Christopher Lee. The base features a nameplate with an evil-looking Middle-Earthian font. The crystal in his staff is clear glass. Parts are ready to assemble; no trimming is required.
As with most vinyl kits, HLJ recommends filling the base and lower section of the model with plaster or other material to keep the vinyl from sagging in warm environments. Unlike the other two kits in this series (listed below), the parts requiring gluing in this kit are all made of the same type of vinyl, so regular cyanoacrylate glue ("super glue") will provide super-strong bonding of parts. Instructions are included in English and German.
The photos below show an assembled, unpainted model.
