Relatively new here, have been following the forum for a while though. Thought I would offer my opinion on this thread as I just had the opportunity to see this piece at Salt Lake Comic-Con, and I was blown away. Its significantly larger than I expected. I have become accustomed to Weta pieces seeming relatively small, and my collection has gravitated toward the 1/4 scale and larger offerings. I didn't really take in to consideration that the Defiler was a large character, so even in 1/6 scale, he is still pretty darn big. The combination of the wolf and rider though is just enormous, and I don't think there are many statues that have captured movement the way that this one does. Simply outstanding work by Weta. Anyone one who has an order in, but has not seen it in person is in for a treat.

As I said on another board and this one . This will be one of the best 1/6 statues ever made. ES of 500 will make this more of a grail too

Statue of the year 2014!

 

[Adolfo]

Statue of the year 2014!

It might very well be

 

[Pork Chop Express]

It definitely has that potential considering overall size and detail even at 1/6 scale.

How fast did this sell out on WETA's website?

 

[The Josh]

How fast did this sell out on WETA's website?

Roughly 4 weeks I believe.

 

[The Chev]

Roughly 4 weeks I believe.

Not bad for a 600 dollar statue.

 

[theguru1]

Not bad for a 600 dollar statue.

And even better considering it's a 700 dollar statue. Of course the ES of 500 doesn't hurt.

 

[ArmoredFoe]

Anyone happen to know if SS is going to do any statues with Azog?

I hope so an Azog PF would be sick!

Yeah, I saw that after I posted. I forgot to edit.

If I had the money and of course a change to get it, it would be well worth it.

I might try to make a play to get one when they come out.

 

[The Chev]

I would love that as well. However, the rumor is that SS is done with Midde Earth for now.

 

[Adolfo]

After spooktacular we will find out. I don't know why but I have a strange feeling we'll see something, don't ask why

 

[The Josh]

Didn't they say on FB that before the end of the year we'd see one more item?

 

[The Chev]

I wonder what it will be.
