Re: Which old UC item would you like to return most?

I see this thread has the last post by Nerdernal. Did anyone ever heard from her? I’m not being nosy but she told me she was going on holidays to the Aussie outback and I remain curious what happened. I didn’t hear of any tourists being eaten by a Salty around then. :club: I’m hoping she is ok and j...

Re: Treebeard Weta Masters Collection

Yes. :oops: #3/333 It is a cool number. I can’t believe they are still having issues with the US Warehouse. You would think they would have sorted them out by now. I hope they get them sent out quickly. I’m surprised I got mine so quickly. I haven’t opened it yet. I’ll do it tomorrow in the morning ...

Re: Game Of Thrones

I was getting confused..... Was that Boromir defending Daenerys..... I see the director has said he spent hours watching TTT Helm’s Deep battle to work out how to film the Winterfell battle. It showed. But I liked the ep. Bit dark or I need a new tv Go Arya. She has trained all her life for this. Th...

Re: New Weta everywhere you look!

I think I have said earlier that I’m a sucker for Black Riders and so I have the new ordered and the old. I can’t imagine the new will outshine my feelings for the old but I felt I wanted the new one anyway. Hang tight on the RwoS. One will turn up. It is still my fav statue of all time. I have thro...

Re: New Weta everywhere you look!

I sort of thought you’d crack Val - mostly cause you were on the fence about the statue.

I must admit I did contemplate it again with that low ES. But I decided no, cause the pose just didn’t thrill me. Now apparently sold out and I don’t feel any regret. So I think I made the right decision.

Re: New Weta everywhere you look!

I caved too. After seeing it in someone’s collection recently I thought it was amazing. Much better than the online pics.

Yeah Val. I feel the same - even about Grond and that has been years. Still if that’s the game you risk missing out - like Treebeard and the new Ringwraith.

Re: New Weta everywhere you look!

Sigh...... My expectations where too high for this. I don’t have another Aragorn anymore (except the strider in Bree mini) so I was going to get it. But I can’t get over the wrong weight on the foot. It is funny how some things bug you and it doesn’t bug others. But still for me...... each time I lo...

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

Wow. Well, that would be good to have the set. Can’t wait to see the spear. Although the helm..... I’ll wait and see. I have Thranduil’s and I so love it.

Rumors are flying that United is also going to release Eowyn’s sword again. Is this just the usual rumor or did I miss something.

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

I got my Moria staff yesterday. It is perfect. I really love it. Looking forward to putting it and the other Gandalf light up staff each side of a doorway. Question though: I was under the impression that pushing the crystal down would turn the torch on/off. Am I wrong? Cause this doesn’t happen wit...

Re: New Weta everywhere you look!

Yes Deimos. The Aust Stock horse is probably like the quarter horse. Not quite as solid as them and slightly taller on average. Yes we use hands as a height. I think stock horses are supposed to be between 15hh and 16hh. I didn’t buy Eomer but recent pics of him have me feeling a little bit like I’d...

Re: New Weta everywhere you look!

In regard to the Rohan horses. If memory servers me Tolkien described them as fleet footed or something like that. That does not sound like a heavy horse to me. They are strong but not fast (in horse terms) - too much weight. While we think of the Rohan soldiers as armoured- I wouldn’t think that wa...

Re: New Weta everywhere you look!

Yes of course Val, many different sizes and heights of horses. I guess we mostly think of fine boned Thoroughbred types cause we get racing horses thrust in our faces. Unless you have something to do with horses now a days, that is about all you see. However, the Knights of old could never have ridd...

Re: New Weta everywhere you look!

Oh my. Did I really say that Tbh. She is so very beautiful. Sorry Liv I was just commenting on the sculpt at FoU the other day. The neck in particular is amazing. That is exactly how a horse neck is.... the oh so strong muscle underneath the ripples of skin and hair. I too have been around horses al...

Re: New Weta everywhere you look!

I saw this statue almost finished but not painted about 15 months ago. I want it. It looked good. And I have to think Gary did a great job on the face. (If my memory serves me correct it is Gary Hunts work ir it was in his desk at least) Plus I sold my original SSW one so no Aragorn in the house cur...

Re: New Weta everywhere you look!

Yes, I bit. I’m a sucker for black riders (I didn’t like the DRoM though). I like it a lot from certain angles (particularly front on) and not as much from others. I’m very interested to see how it will look. Do I like it as much as RwoS - nah..... not even close. I’m starting to think nothing can t...

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

I asked Rev to send you an invoice. Pay it if you want or not. I’m sure he has your paypal address. I don’t remember what Kit said about the staff except the bit about the torch. Seems like a great improvement to me so really looking forward to it. Wondering about having two for each side of the ent...

Re: New Weta everywhere you look!

I do actually like and at this stage I will be getting it. Cause I just love the black riders. My fav part of the book. I’m not sold on the water. I hope it looks better in person. As for the pairing with Arwen - not getting her (and we all know why) so I don’t have an issue. Tbh - if it did pair wi...

Re: New Weta everywhere you look!

I thought that since Arwen ends up with a cut on her face that the blades were drawn and it just missed. Or was that a tree branch. Also, I remember a scene from Bree where the horse splashes water from a puddle. But you are right. It is probably from the Ford. Perhaps running from the waves???

Re: New Weta everywhere you look!

I saw the tease on the Ringwraith rider. I do think it is from the chase scene. Although that means it won’t be a companion to Arwen. Just guessing here but I wonder if it is a companion piece for something else. It is hard to imagine but they did a lot of galloping around near Bree and Amon Sul. We...
