Single $3.30 'The Army of the Dead' gummed stamp.

With the forces of Gondor outnumbered, Aragorn takes to the Paths of the Dead, calling on dead warriors to recover the honour they’ve lost. The Army of the Dead prove a decisive factor, overrunning Sauron’s terrified orcs and other creatures, with Legolas and Gimli competing for success at their side. The film’s ‘behind the scenes’ documentary shows the crew scouting locations for the Paths of the Dead, settling on the distinctive Putangirua Pinnacles in the Wairarārapa.

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King 20th Anniversary celebrates the talent of Kiwi filmmakers and the films’ legacy in Aotearoa New Zealand. Click here for more information about the stamp issue.
