The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

[The Josh]

I fully expect Weta to do something. The question then becomes how big will he be when they do. I personally think he will be Original Balrog size.

 

[The Ween]

Really? Damn

We had storms come through overnight and supposed to have more today. Sounds like you're getting what we just had.

It's suppose to rain till Monday morning. Everything around me is flooded. I have a moat right now.

 

[The Josh]

Try to stay dry and safe.

Hopefully, it won't be an ES of 500 like Azog on a Warg. I don't want to miss out again.

I expect him to an an open es.

So when exactly do they close an open edition size? They can't go on forever.

 

[The Josh]

They usually let them go on until sales slow enough to end the run.

So looking at Wetanz's website right now. What is the best piece they have in your opinion? Not counting Azog!

 

[TURINS~BANE]

A weta Smaug would be great, probably see it next year.

Azog has to be mentioned. Barad-Dúr is right there, Rivendell, and Bag end are top pieces. Character statues I'd say Bilbo, Balin, and Dwalin are also awesome. I think Radagast, Tauriel, Thranduil are all contenders based on comic-con 2013.

I expect he will be at comic-con 2014.

yeah similer size to the original Balrog would be good so i can sit them together.

Bilbo is cool. I'm not a super fan of the pose. However, I realize that it's supposed to go next to Gollum, who's in a lunging pose.

That's what I said the other day as far as predicting his size. I I miss my Rog.

Having Gollum helps create a scene that's for sure. Overall it's a well done piece.

You still see a few daddy rogs on ebay mate, seen a few in the uk for around £800, maybe one day. the original balrog is stunning one of there best.

Yeah, I keep an eye out for them and have bid on a couple. Just no luck yet. It's one of the best pieces I've ever owned.

Sadly I sold both.
