King Théoden is a minifigure from The Lord of the Rings theme released in May 2012. He is exclusive to the set 9474 The Battle of Helm's Deep.
Description[]
Théoden wears full armour and carries a sword and shield. He wears a printed hemet, and has printing on both pants and torso.
Background[]
Théoden was the king of Rohan, uncle of Éowyn and Éomer. When Saruman planned to take over Rohan, he put a curse on the king that was kept active by his traitorous advisor, Grima Wormtounge. Gandalf, however, freed him from the spell, giving Rohan back its king. Afterwards, with the help of Aragorn, Gimli, Legolas Greenleaf and Gandalf, Théoden played a key role in defeating the Saruman's army of Uruk-hai in the Battle of Helm's Deep. There, in a desperate situation, Aragorn and him led a calvary charge into the Uruks. There, Gandalf rode up with Éomer and they utterly defeated the Uruks. Afterwards he came to the aid of Gondor, a neighbouring kingdom of men, when Pippin Took lit the Beacons of Gondor on Gandalf’s orders. There, in the Battle of the Pelennor Fields, he was killed in the ensuing battle by the Witch-King of Angmar after he was thrown off his horse, Snowmane, by the Witch-King's Fell Beast. In his dying breath, he wished farewell to Éowyn, who defeated the Witch-King in defending Théoden.
Notes[]
- His shield is the same mould as Captain America's.

King Théoden Poisoned by evil powers, King Théoden of Rohan is a shadow of the king he used to be. His will is weak, and he is close to surrendering to the dark powers that threaten to destroy the sad remains of his desolate kingdom. Not even his loving and loyal nephew, Éomer can save him from the despair that has consumed him. Once restored to health and soundness of spirit by Gandalf, the King banishes Wormtongue from his hall and again leads his people with wisdom and bravery. |
