: 2 new WETA STATUES
: ztaylork February 19, 2005, 01:22:55 AM
The 2 statues that WETA is going to announce next week will be amazing!!!  THey are definetly saving the best for last!!!  All that I can say is that both statues will be "mounted" statues, and should be great pieces to go with Gandalf on Shadowfax!!!

I am on my knees and BEGGING you to tell me I have not missed it - I travelled home last night and was back very late... the link you give goes to a "soon to be announced as sold out" page.

PLEASE TELL ME THIS ISN'T TRUE

I want to know the answer too as am interested in acquiring L & G one



(...........but unlike Roz, I refuse to resort to begging on my knees!)...........

Yep - I have no shame, if I missed Aragorn I'll sob like a baby ;)

You haven't missed it yet, I happened upon the link by playing around with the URL of some other preview pages and found the link to Aragorn.  I had known about Aragorn on his horse being announced as well as the Legolas and Gimli on horse, so I went in search of the link and found the Aragorn one, but no luck with Gimli.  I feel that both will be faily limited and pricey as well, but well worth every penny (even if it is thousands and thousands of pennies )  These are just two of the remaing pieces sideshow has to announce, there will be some other great ones as well.

Yep, I think if I can get in preorders for these two I might cancel one or two of my other preorders (not in a hurry but after I've had time to think about it) but rumours seem to imply they'll be at least $300 each....

Also about 4 helms and some more busts.. not sure on any other staues atm  though


: Re:2 new WETA STATUES
: Roz February 20, 2005, 12:18:58 AM
OOOOOHHHH More helms??... there may be something to look forward to - what about a Morgul Lord Helm (to match the statue... not the WK one as I know there's one already)..

 :)

And don't diss the Gimmers and Leggy statue... Gimmers rocks!

Well - they put the link back up and thankfully it hadn't been a link to purchase  :-*

It was this "preview pic"

How is that a preview picture? I suppose it tells us it's Elessar and not Aragorn on Brego ... but not much else - anyway I am nice and relieved not to have missed out  ;D

Prettyboy indeed ::) ;D

Oh honestly!

No more sleep for me - I go to bed and they announce new stuff - it's not funny any more :P

Thanks Jas  ;D

Apparently it will be $45 so I daresay I'll be popping that on my birthday list :P

i agree with roz,  but has anyone had a look at the setup pictures from the toy fair on sideshows site,  you get some idea of size of the King of the Dead & so of the other peaces they are going to release

sorry roz made a bit of a mess using your Quote

Not at all Andy ;)

I know - the size of the pieces are humungous! The Darth Vader looks particularly awesome huge... I hope the Legolas and Gimli on Arod and the Aragorn on miscellaneous steed will be of a nice size on their own... and in fact they make a pretty awesome WETA collection on their own presuming they are nice statues :D

Dare I say that Roz is going to start her Weta collection with these 2 statues? :)


: Re:2 new WETA STATUES
: Roz February 21, 2005, 03:27:22 AM
You might ;)

And for helm maniacs *cough Jas cough*

they've announced the mouth of Sauron helm :) Eowyn Helm, Morgul Lord helm (me me me), an orc muzzle helm  and the King of the Dead Crown

And Andy - they do the same to me only they wait for me to get on a train, then they announce 10 new products ARGH!

Here's the latest from the Toy Fair
