Weta Dalek is here

[theguru1]

Well, it was a bit of a wait, but it was sure as hell well worth it.
The sculpt detail is amazing and the paint work is great, even tho mine a couple of very minor issue, but thats generally out of site anyway.
One thing that doesn't come out in the pics, is the wet, gooey, sticky look of the Kelad mutant. You could swear it would just stick and ooze off your finger, while at any moment a drip could fall down off a tentacle.

Here's a couple of very early pics, best I can do right now due to no sunlight and need to use a flash.

It looks fantastic and I think I might try and get one at some point as I can display it with my 1/6 scale 9th Doctor custom when it's finished.

 

[galactiboy]

That's awesome looking... really cool statue.

 

[yodasan]

Looks amazing - this is 1/6 scale?

Thanks guys. Yes, 1/6 scale, around 30cm tall, all polystone.

 

[pixletwin]

Very cool. If it weren't for the price I would have nabbed it too. Good piece.

 

[Badvermin]

Thanks guys. Yes, 1/6 scale, around 30cm tall, all polystone.

More like 98% poly, but close enough.

 

[occulum]

nice. wish I could afford to get into this line ...

Well, yes.. if you wan't to get technical. Bit of plastic and I think even metal (especially the Eye Stork), for the plunger, gun and eye stork.

 

[Webb]

I have no idea what that is.

 

[LOTRFan]

Weta's subject choices have been open to debate, but their artistry is never in question.

That rocks!

Almost makes me wish I was a Dr. Who fan...

Well, its never too late

and on a plus side, at least you'll know for sure that the show won't get cancelled half way through the first season, just as you start getting into it.

 

[Kratos]

That turned out quite good it'd be great too see pics of the other pieces when they are released

 

[yodasan]

What else do they have planned?

 

[wookster]

That looks great... I just can not afford to start on statues as well (apart from the occaisional Pred or Alien related ones!)

 

[Reinhardt]

that is gorgeous!!!! what is the best place to order this?!?

 

[theguru1]

yodasan, 3 more statues are scheduled, 4th Doctor and Davros, The Master and Cyber Controller, along with a range of helms. You can see it all here: https://www.wetanz.com/collectibles/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=11

Reinhardt, one could say Weta's website, with local shipping from their US warehouse, but I suspect you could get it cheaper from a local store. Its sold from Dark Horse and hence distributed by Diamond, so on top of specific statue sellers, any good comics shop in your area should be able to get it in as well.

www.whona.com currently has them in stock below MSRP.

Thanks - the Cyber Controller looks to be amazing.
