I would have paid more for that. If they had been doing exclusive versions in the SSW line, the mirror would have been a good candidate.

 

[LOTRFan]

Ouch, no more salt in the wound please.

I don't get it...

Why can't Sideshow go ahead and make up for this grievious error?

MAKE A MIRROR SOLD SEPARATELY NOW, EDITION SIZE 2000, $100/MIRROR.

(Of course I'd wish they'd charge $60 or so but heck I'd pay probably up to $150. Hmm, maybe should keep that to myself...)

If there is a problem with the Galadriel base, then redesign the base, so we can take the Galadriel statue from its original base and place it on the new one with the mirror.

Would that make it worth their while? I'm sure it would sell out!!

How do we petition them? Has Sideshow made any statement as to why they won't do it? They will make money off of it, plus fans will be REALLY grateful.

Now is the time to cause a ruckus, after they posted the pictures yesterday.

Beren they can't do it because they don't have the license for these pieces anymore.

Nice pics. I never did see the big deal in them not including it and seeing the pics especially at that size. I liked the Galadriel statue but almost didn't get it when it came out originally. If they had included the Mirror and it would have cost as much as a horse and rider I would have passed for sure.

 

[DonnamiraTook]

I would have paid the extra $$$. But now that I see what was planned, I think I'll try and make one for myself. Super sculpey should do it. Combining it with the base would be the biggest problem.

The statue looks so much more complete with the mirror.

 

[kierbaudy]

I agree, the mirror makes the statue look complete. I would have paid the extra money for the mirror. The mirror looks great.

who has the license?

who has the license?

I have no idea who has the license to make 1/6th scale statues.

Did you see the Blog on the extra 1000 Balrogs they accidentally produced. But since the LE of the Barlog was already set they just threw the other 1000 away!

For those who missed the subject earlier, the mirror from Elben* ist still available, details in this thread here

I understand that you are regretting the missed opportunity by Sideshow Weta, but it is gone, so if you truly want one, grab this truly great piece from Elben*.

That's how it looks like:

Some more pictures here, here and here.

 

[Lembas Eater]

That does look good and I will try to contact Elben and see if there are any left.

BUT. I've been known to be psychotic and thus offer up another solution:

That's right, I don't care what the cost is or how big it is, How about a Galadriel WITH Mirror in, you guessed it, Premium Format???

If they can sit Doom in an amazing kick-ass throne, If they can have a Grey Hulk Exclusive or Terminator Endo or Pumpkinhead Maquette, SURELY it could be done! And Sideshow is just the people to do it. Think of what Andy could do with a Galadriel likeness. Think of what Greg Mowry could do for that amazingly detailed dress. Or what an amazing fount replica the Gore Group could come up with. And make no mistake what an Iconic scene this is in both the book and the film.

I could be just dreaming but, what can I say, I dream big.

 

[Darklord Dave]

Galadriel is one of my most wanted PFs, but I really don't want her with that huge bowl. Imagine how big that would be at 1/4 scale?

 

[LOTRFan]

I just can't understand why the pictures are being released now, was it just to agitate collectors? I can't imagine that the plinth would have made Galadriel cost as much as a rider piece, Saruman sure didn't.

 

[The Josh]

They released them to just release them and show them to us. It wasn't to try and piss anyone off. That thing is like 2x as big as Saruman's piece and probably would have been fairly heavy even if it was hollowed. I'd wager it would have cost at least $225.

$225.00 is cheaper than any of the on Steeds.

 

[The Josh]

It is but I think it would have been close to was my point.

 

[JSA]

I for one would have gladly paid for the statue with the mirror.
Kinda bummed seeing that it was actually considered directly
from Sideshow, but scrapped. Disappointing to say the least.

And yet life does goes on.....................
