Re: United Cutlery's - The Hobbit - Movie Props!

[quote=""Nasnandos""] For anyone wondering, here are the items I know for sure are being reissued: Hadhafang - possibly in Hobbit BOFA packaging. Boromir sword Strider sword High Elven War Sword Herugrim These have already been mentioned here, but a small run of Anduril scabbards...

Re: United Cutlery's - The Hobbit - Movie Props!

My parents will be checking in on my place occasionally, but I'm about 2 hours from them and don't want to rely on them too heavily if I don't have to. My neighbors usually keep a friendly eye out for anything suspicious. Mail should be minimal and my folks can scoop that up every few weeks. It's la...

Re: The Elfstone

I have no idea if Tolkien ever drew the Elfstone, but I didn't know about the forthcoming Badali release. I had to go look it up for myself. For not being movie canon, this is a really beautiful interpretation (and this is coming from someone who doesn't like most Badali interpretations). I wonder h...

Re: United Cutlery's - The Hobbit - Movie Props!

[quote=""Nasnandos""]Just about any type of helm can be produced in fiberglass and polyresin. I can't confirm anything, but the Mirkwood guard helm was the first one we looked at reproducing. The leather and cloth parts attached to it are a bit of a challenge. The Mirkwood soldie...

Re: United Cutlery's - The Hobbit - Movie Props!

Kit, I know you said a lot of the weapons from the Hobbit films were too difficult to produce replicas for. Do you think (generally speaking) the same is true for other items like helms? I know I have the Rivendell helm to look forward too, and hopefully a Mirkwood sword too. Are the Mirkwood helms ...

Re: United Cutlery's - The Hobbit - Movie Props!

[quote=""BladeCollector""]Where are you running off to out the country??? I think I am going to need to go get another job to get these replicas![/quote] Well, I figure I better mention it now or else you will think I've mysteriously disappeared again. ;) I will be in Australia f...

Re: New Weta everywhere you look!

Sorry for the double post, and the giant picture, but does anyone happen to know which sword this is on the far right of Glamdring? It caught my eye while I was perusing all the goodies on the new Weta website and I've never seen it before: http://wetaworkshop.com/assets/Uploads/Lord-of-the-Rings-Th...

Re: United Cutlery's - The Hobbit - Movie Props!

[quote=""Nasnandos""]I asked for samples to review to be sure the blade cavity was not made too tight, an issue with scabbards in the past, and went three rounds before they had it fitting good. That was only a few months ago, so August may be a bit soon to actually see them in s...

Re: New Weta everywhere you look!

[quote=""jayman2982""]Weta updated there website, great new pics of the weapons and props from all the LOTR and hobbit films. Cool stuff[/quote] WOW! :crazy: Great find, jayman! These photos are so amazing...I'm salivating! All those details...and so many replicas I'll never be a...

Re: United Cutlery's - The Hobbit - Movie Props!

Phew, that was a heck of a lot of reading to do to get caught back up! Out of all of this news, I'm actually glad the Rivendell helm has been pushed back (I want it to be perfect + gives me more time to save). I'm pretty excited for a possible Mirkwood guard sword also. So, I think this puts my Hobb...

Re: New Movies

A week later than I wanted to see it, but I finally got out to see X-Men: Days of Future Past yesterday. Most everyone has already echoed my thoughts on it: :crazy: Man, did Bryan Singer ever bring his A-game to redeem the franchise. For as much as I loved the Avengers, even it is starting to pale i...

Re: What are you listening to?

Fin, this is refreshing to hear indeed! :coolsmile I hate to plug Target (still mad about the credit card thing), but if you are going to get Ghost Stories, make sure you get the *deluxe* version. I got mine for $11, and Ghost Story (track 11) was worth the extra few bucks alone. I have no, NO idea ...

Re: What are you listening to?

No, I'm still around, just had some horrendous computer and internet troubles last week. All resolved now. :) I'd say I'm mostly a homebody now as well but I can be bothered to go to a show every now and then. The last one I did was a small music festival last summer. If it's a group I really like, ...

Re: What are you listening to?

Well, I took your advice and DID google that Hanson video. Is this the same boy band from the 90s? I was never a fan then, but if it is them, their music has matured nicely! I'm always game for a detour from my usual music tastes. My mom loves country, my dad loves classic rock. I will listen to pre...

Re: What are you listening to?

[quote=""BladeCollector""]I dont remember the last CD I bought, but I am not illegally downloading either :) .. I still buy BDs and DVDs, I have NEVER liked downloading movies and putting them on an ugly blank DVD, was never into downloading movies. I like having the box and disc...

Re: What are you listening to?

Yep, I'm a walking, talking anachronism. :coolsmile As a rule, I buy physical releases of all of my favorite bands. I've been supporting them that way all along. Well, that and swag and concerts. I own every Coldplay physical release, except for their earliest EPs: Safety (1998) and the Blue Room (1...

Re: New Movies

[quote=""Fingolfin""]I see where you're coming from, no trolling here. :) If I knew that much about science, it would probably bug me too, to be honest! But, seeing as I slept through chemistry and passed physics thanks to the friends sitting next to me, all of that is way over m...

Re: What are you listening to?

Any Coldplay fans in these parts? I picked up their new album, Ghost Stories (deluxe edition :crazy :) , yesterday, and I LOVE it. I will need a few more listenings to get a feel for the meaning behind the lyrics and where it ranks with their other albums. But after just a few listens, I can tell th...

Re: New Movies

*More spoilers herein* Thanks for weighing in with your opinion Fin. :) I never want to be the troll of the forum so I hope nothing I say has come across that way. I think you may have misunderstood a few of my problems with the film, but it's not worth beating a dead horse. I haven't seen any other...

Re: New Movies

[quote=""Valkrist""]She posted them in the tv thread for whatever reason, and a discussion ensued, also involving Pacific Rim. I'm about to merge those posts into this thread so they will mesh into the correct topic. Edit: and done. Just scroll up on this page to catch up.[/quote...

Re: What are you listening to?

[quote=""Fingolfin""]I got the DoS Deluxe soundtrack over the weekend. Sorry to report that I'm a bit disappointed. I mean, it's not bad by any means, but it really doesn't have very many melodies at all. It's just kind of filler music. And I see Fire can't hold a finger to May I...

Re: Shire Post Coins

[quote=""Thranduil""]It's too bad they scared the guy making the coins away. They had absolutely no legal grounds to do so. If you know how to contact the maker let me know; I'd love to inform him he can continue, if indeed he created them himself.[/quote] Really? I often wondere...

Re: Shire Post Coins

[quote=""polyphemus""]To my knowledge, the designs are not affiliated with Tolkien at all. They are original. In minting them, the names were slightly changed to protect the 'innocent,' but even that didn't stop the JRR estate machine from shutting down the production of those co...

Re: Shire Post Coins

For those who are interested, the Shire Post has minted a few new sets of Game of Throne themed coins. They are small 1/2 pennies in sets of 20, meant for gaming or collecting. Here are the links to Tom Maringer's ebay page, but you can also get them through his personal website. :thumbs_up Six Half...

Re: What is everyone watching these days?

[quote=""Striders_Heir""]My two cents on "movie disbelief" stem mostly from my love of literature and my weekly struggle to try and get my students to appreciate the value of stories. I can easily suspend belief that Tony Stark had the ability to create a new element si...

Re: What is everyone watching these days?

[quote=""RosereIII""]Hmm, that's a little disheartening to hear, though I still plan on seeing it tonight with my roommate. I have one friend I refuse to watch movies with, because he has that exact problem where he refuses to turn off his brain. I know he can, he just won't; and...

Re: What is everyone watching these days?

I think this was mostly meant to be a TV thread, but I saw Godzilla last night. Given the recent rave reviews for it, I had high hopes for it and decided to see it over Spidey 2 (I don't love the rebooted series anyway). I don't think I've said anything spoilery, these are just my thoughts on it. Co...

Re: United Cutlery's - The Hobbit - Movie Props!

I'm thinking about this some more. Could be the weapons of the White Council too...I've heard some completely unsubstantiated and speculative rumblings if Galadriel would be armed with more that the Phial ( if it appears ;) ). I don't think "Warlord Galadriel" fits her PJ personality, but ...

Re: United Cutlery's - The Hobbit - Movie Props!

[quote=""Nasnandos""]I don't recall any discussion of anyone noticing the color of Azog's mace blades until now :) It all depends on how the color grading is done in the film, how dark or bright scenes are, closeups, et cetera.[/quote] Better late than never! :) I might have noti...

Re: United Cutlery's - The Hobbit - Movie Props!

Thanks so much for the e xp lanation Kit. I can't believe I didn't ask you about it before, but after watching the films, and then seeing the prototype, and at the other collectibles Weta was putting out, it looked like was indeed interpreted differently. I figured it had to be tricky since it was a...

Re: United Cutlery's - The Hobbit - Movie Props!

Kind of related to this, is Azog's mace supposed to simulate the look of steel, iron, or stone? It kind of has a "stone" look to it, but I don't know if that is intended or not. Some fan photos should help clear that up. :thumbs_up Sauron's mace is supposed to simulate iron right? Just try...
