The scene occurs on the Gladden River, and depicts the opening scene from The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King with Sméagol in a boat on the water, and Déagol diving underwater for The One Ring.

The back of the box reveals the scene that follows: Déagol joyously inspects The One Ring on the riverbank while Sméagol – instantly on his way to being corrupted by The One Ring and to become Gollum – sneaks up menacingly behind him. 


Minifigures

Minifigs Sméagol & Déagol with double sided head prints, from GwP set 40761, seen in closeup as well as within the main model.

We've seen plenty of Gollum over the years so to get a Sméagol minifigure is an absolute treat, as is Déagol. With double-sided heads that convey the extremities of the drama in this pivotal scene, this gift with purchase is likely to be a hot item for LEGO The Lord of The Rings fans.

Déagol is holding his breath on one side, and on the other, looks joyously at the ring he has discovered. Sméagol looks content on one side as he watches his cousin in the water, but on the other side looks positively evil and menacing as he is affected by the sight of The One Ring!

We can see many special rare elements within these minifigures too, but our review of this set is not far away so we will discuss those then.

  1. This is the most disturbing LEGO set I've ever seen. It literally depicts the prelude to a murder!

    1. Definitely a prelude to a cold-blooded murder motivated only by avarice (as opposed to all the 100% 'justified' murders by our comic-book and space-opera heroes)
      This is certainly not a set I would have thought would ever be made, but I am not complaining! In fact it is refreshing that if these sets are going to be labelled 18+ that they are prepared to stray a little more into the 'mature content' realm of pop culture (not too far though).
