In the shadowy realms of the Underworld, where even the rays of Apollo dare not tread, there is little to lift one’s spirits. Burdened by an ever‑growing legion of souls to shepherd, creatures to command, and a celestial family tree more twisted than a labyrinth, Hades drifts through existence dulled by melancholy and suppressed yearning. That is, until one fateful night when a tempestuous young goddess bursts into his life—uninvited, irresistible, and destined to change everything.
Weta Workshop has risen to the challenge of translating Hades, the enigmatic ruler of the Underworld, from his 2D origins into a breathtaking 3D masterpiece. Captured at the very beginning of his journey, this figure embodies the melancholic yet curious side of the god whose shadowy existence is suddenly illuminated by Persephone’s radiant presence.
Daniel Holland has meticulously sculpted every detail, from the brooding expression that hints at a deep well of emotions to the subtle nuances of his posture, reflecting both intrigue and guarded vulnerability. Faithfully lifted from Rachel Smythe’s Lore Olympus, the bold lines and striking contrasts of the original art are preserved in exquisite form. Measuring 6.3 × 16 × 6.3 cm, this collectible is a portrait of Hades at his most human—melancholic, curious, and on the cusp of transformation.
