Re: New Weta everywhere you look!

It's not the best likeness we've seen Weta do, but It's certainly better than Haldir. As for the hair color, I'd say it's darker than it should be yet not really red. I'll be interested to see it in hand. Weta tends to use (IMO) somewhat overly saturated product photography.

Re: New Weta everywhere you look!

Yeah. Only just saw the Guard. You’re right. It is the same. I think I’d prefer the Guard. And since Thranduil is making that helm now, even more so Expensive morning for Buckeye I fought my instincts and it was a win for my wallet, but not for my Rohirrim collector soul. I think it's a wonderful s...

Re: New Weta everywhere you look!

For the price they're asking and the high shipping cost, I'll stand pat with my UC version of the staff . . . Even if it doesn't have the rune, strap hole/strap, and leather pouch. I'll probably pick up the pipe, though. And I may try my hand at making my own leather pouch at some point. Whether it'...

Re: Dragon Hoard

It was my intention to really beef up DH, but I honestly haven't had a spare moment in many moons to even consider working on it... I'd love to take it on again, but I can't really say when I'll be able to tackle this again. :( Thanks for the reply, GW. Much appreciated. I was just thinking about i...

Re: Sutton Hoo Helm Replica

Looks pretty nifty, Buckeye! My only hesitation is with KOA. I had some nasty interactions with that particular site some years back. Price might be good, but if you could buy elsewhere, I'd highly recommend doing so...Especially with something so pricey and intricate... Just my two cents! I browse...

Sutton Hoo Helm Replica

As everyone here knows, I'm both a history geek and a huge fan of all things Rohirrim. The Rohirrim culture and its related ME material culture was heavily influenced by Anglo Saxon cultural artifacts, including the wealth of items discovered at Sutton Hoo (another fascination of mine, both historic...

Re: New Weta everywhere you look!

Sorry to hear about wanting to cancel your Eomer order. I think you'll find the info you need on the Weta Support Centre site. And Val is correct, in addition to the deposit there is a fee for each payment made. https://wetaworkshop.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005925966-Why-am-I-being-charged-a...

Re: New Weta everywhere you look!

That recent King's Guard helm (black feathers) was not seen in the film. Dan Falconer confirmed this. Makes you wonder how many helms were designed and even made but never made the cut. I've seen a pic somewhere (maybe on the FoU forum?) of a helm that was designed for Eowyn to wear in battle at He...

Re: New Weta everywhere you look!

Crazy Weta sale going on right now! Only deal that is tempting me is the 3 for $500 statues offer. However, despite there being several I don't have, I am trying hard not to spend unnecessary money and the only one I would really like is The Torturer. At $167 for a $449 statue, that's a steal. I ca...

Re: New Weta everywhere you look!

So you could still have the MoS staue in your home provided Aragorn on horseback is right there, ready to lop off his head, (or actually doing so, which would make a pretty spectacular diorama ...imo). You just *had* to put that idea into my head, didn't you? You're an enabler, Deimos. Well, I'm on...

Re: New Weta everywhere you look!

I think I need an intervention . . . this morning I caught myself actually considering purchasing the MoS statue. It must be the horse and the incredible detail of the sculpt. I only have one "evil" piece in my house, and that's the Weta One Ring. I can justify that in a hundred different ...

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

Sorry I don't have any info for you Xena, but I did notice today that UC had the Sword of Bard on their website (out of stock) so it should be available for order shortly. Looking forward to this! It looks really good, too. I'm also looking forward to it. For those who haven't yet seen the UC pic: ...

Re: New Weta everywhere you look!

Haldir and Eomer statues have been put on display in the Weta Cave. Haldir in Helms Deep armour looks amazing armour - not too sure about it he face though But more pics of Eomer now. It looks pretty darn good. That base may just be an issue depending on how you display it I agree with your comment...

Re: New Weta everywhere you look!

I had zero interest in Gollum, but I had passing thoughts about perhaps being able to pick up something like Aragorn, Boromir, Gimli, or Gandalf in this line. Gollum is the smallest character of the Fellowship, so I can only imagine what the cost of a human-sized character will be. I can see now tha...

Re: New Weta everywhere you look!

My book arrived today as well. It's simply massive... and will take a while to work through. With a quick glance, I already like what I see. Did yours arrive undamaged? Congrats if it did. Yes, I was fortunate to have mine arrive undamaged. I'm really sorry to hear that your book was so badly dinge...

Re: New Weta everywhere you look!

Hmmm. Maybe cause I'm not that interested in 1/6th anymore that I think this piece isn't very often requested. It is certainly higher on the request list than some you listed. If I where a betting man (or even a man :) ) I think you will love it too Deimos. And you to N2D. Buckeye - likely, I think...
