TREEBEARD!

[Nemo Nint]

Treebeard is great!

The bust, the character. Yep. Just posting my two cents.

 

[carbo-fation]

Good to hear!! WIsh I could afford one!!

 

[pordey2]

Agree agree... who want to give me their Treebeard bust?

 

[tremulant]

Oh... I thought it was the announcement of the latest PF or 12' figure, but that'll never happen

I have a Treebeard and I love it. I wish I had a higher place to put him, because he looks down and I have him displayed rather low. Makes it hard to see his face. Space, the final frontier.

 

[noelleon69]

those eyes of his gives me the creeps.

 

[Bodie The Cursed]

My Fav Weta Peice.

I also own this piece and is a perfect scupt of the good old (and slow talking) Ent.

 

[Darth Caedus]

I wish I had known about the TreeBeard when it came out. Only been on the SS bandwagon about 6-7 months. I know, I have a lot to catch up on. How much is he usually going for on the bay ?

Probably my most favorite LOTR piece... Here's where he sits on my desk:

I actually like the ToyBiz 14in "Talking Treebeard"! You get the whole Ent and not just the bust...

The sculpt is dead-on and the paint-apps are near perfect. Cover up the joints with sculpy, repaint it, and it would make a perfect statue. (plus his eyes light up and he says different phrases from the films.

I know Fly, very impressed by Toybiz Treebeard myself

I never collected the busts, but this is one I've considered making an exception for.

I've got his value at $360, but recent sales have been closer to the MSRP of $300.

I hope the thread doesn't stir up too much bidding competition if I get serious.

I am also not a bust collector, but since there is no other representation of Treebeard, this was my only option.

I was lucky enough to get one from a New Zealand retailer for list price earlier this year - and even luckier to have it signed by sculptor Brigitte Wuest later on.

Weta New Zealand still has them in stock for retail price of NZD 250 here - that's a mere US$ 156. They don't ship internationally, though. But if you have contacts to NZL, you could get him for cheap.

 

[oxbeard]

Got to through in my approval as well. Definitely an excellent bust. Of course I am slightly biased as he is one of my favorite characters.

 

[creecher]

May as well show you mine. Let's see yours.

Very cool. Congrats on the sig! And thanks for the tip, ... for myself, I have no contact there sadly.

You're all very lucky people!!
