Statue Weta: The Hobbit - Bombur

[The Josh]

Nice! Got him quick! haven't gotten tracking but sometimes I don't. Looking forward to him showing up.

Wow! Great detailing there DaveMac. And you got him pretty quick too, congrats! Is the number written on the back of the base?
Can't wait to get mine; it shipped on the same day I ordered mine . Got stuck somewhere, goblins must've delayed him

 

[The Josh]

Dave what # did you get?

Mine has shipped and will be here next Wednesday.

 

[DaveMac]

Cheers all. The number is on the base as always and mine is 680. This is already one of those statues that just draws your eye to it. Love it!

G'day everyone! Mr. Bombur has arrived at my hobbit hole ! #171/1000. Very nice statue! Great job Weta, thank you!

Weta's The Hobbit statue line so far. Now, what's next?

 

[The Josh]

Looking good! Nice group shot as well.

Thanks Josh!!! It's a nice statue, the photos don't do it justice. Has yours arrived yet?

Bombur actor Stephen Hunter is appearing at Supanova 2013 in Melbourne and Gold Coast in April so I may bring the base of this statue for him to sign. So are Dean O' Gorman (Fili), Graham McTavish (Dwalin) and Sylvester McCoy (Radagast - Gold Coast only though), and LOTR stars - Karl Urban (Eomer) and Mark Ferguson (Gil Galad). Weta is a guest sponsor! I hope they'll come to Sydney too in June for the Sydney Supanova!

I'm green with envy! Will a ticket of this event guarantee at least an autograph from all these esteemed fellows?

Hi Radagaster ! The ticket is for entrance only to the venue (the tix is not that expensive though), but a token (which you will buy) will guarantee you for an autograph and/or a photo. I just need to be there early so that I'll be able to get all the Hobbit stars' autographs coz it could be a long queue of hobbits!

Got Bombur today. Really a fantastic job by Weta again. They're really showing off exceptional work with this line. The detail work is really well done as is the paint (yet again). His outfit while the simplest so far I think really gives off a cloth look/feel.

Congrats Josh! The Bombur statue is really nice! Weta has hit another home run with this! Now, who's next? Can't wait! They might show us something at SDCC or who knows, at Supanova in Oz in April?

Pictures please???

 

[The Josh]

Thanks! He really is. Weta is really on a roll. That's a good question. I think it's Radagast to be honest or maybe one of the Goblins. Something other than a Dwarf for people who want something different. I think we will see something sooner and they've said as much on S&F.

This weekend.

Hope it's ole scrotum chops himself, the Goblin King. First of the BIG additions

 

[The Josh]

The Goblin King would be awesome. I loved the character design and how he acted outside of that chin.

I fully agree. Goblin King would be excellent addition to any collection...
