Exactly! So they do what they have done, so people such as yourself can buy the busts that they like and people like me can have the Weta ones! I don't personally care for removable heads, helmets and light up toy-like extras, which is why Weta (in my opinion) outdoes GG here. For my own tastes anyway.

Having said that, I would like a Glorfindel bust...

To me it's all irrelevent anyway. The second SS does a legendary scale ringwraith I'll be getting rid of both my Weta and GG ringwraiths. I think SS's legendary scale busts completely blow GG and Weta right out of the water. :D

Does that mean you're buying the Legendary Scale WitchKing bust and will trigger the sale of all our other busts?

For me, the 1:1 scale of these Legendary busts is a might too big for my taste.

They're not 1:1 Rad, I believe the Sauron is 1:2 but I know exactly what you mean. These legendary scale busts are extremely large. You need an awful lot of room to display them and not everyone (me included) has that amount of room. The detail too is amazing and the visual impact of the individual piece is stunning, these are in my opinion beautiful pieces. BUT. I do not think that the average Joe of the collecting world will have the required amount of space to display more than one or two of these effectively.

The SSW (and GG) busts on the other hand are much smaller, easier to display and some would argue, more 'collectible', due to these reasons. Already many are turning back to the SSW pieces as they recognise them as collectibles of a bygone era i.e. the making and release of the films which inspired them. I know it's not long ago since they were released but the market for them is still buoyant whereas the other, later pieces are less so.

I wish I could afford the money and space to get into the Legendary Scale line but I can't. :monkey2 I am however, very happy to stick with the SSW butst and, due to their variety, the GG busts.

I haven't heard anything about a legendary scale witchking, but if and when SS does produce a legendary scale witchking I will certainly sell off my 1/4 scale witchking bust, and every other 1/4 scale bust I have, when I can replace them with one's done in the legendary scale format.

1:1 scale is a bit too large for me as well. Which is why I like the legendary scale, as they are not 1:1 scale . They are approx. 1/2 to 1/4 scale, depending on the piece.

Erm, not exactly the Witch King, but since you mentioned the Ringwraith I assumed you wanted the hooded version. And for that they DO have the Morgul Lord Legendary bust:
