Definitely Smaugs jawline or thereabouts, very cool $2999 I suspect

It's the giant head they had at the world premiere.

Re: Weta Smaug

I thought so too but that facebook post is just too coy to be that giant head that most wouldn't buy.

"What could this be? Visit us at San Diego Comic-con booth #3613 to find out...."

Won't shock me if they do a bust of Smaug too like they did with King King Dinos as well as a full size statue later on

Which is now part of the Weta Booth display at the Con. Sort of a bit of statue tease but not actually the statue.

Still, I'd be surprised if they had Smaug overlooking everyone and then not actually have the polystone statue there as well. Just going to be a preview night rush to see who posts a pic first I think.

A big fakee if there is no statue at the con, for sure.

Well, the mystery has been revealed...

Re: Weta Smaug

Boy if this is it I am very confused on why this was teased.

Re: Weta Smaug

Hope it's a bust like the King Kong Dino busts

Re: Weta Smaug

Well I can't see them NOT doing a Smaug piece and I can't see them not doing it this year. The Tolkien world officially begins its inevitable phase to forgotten territory come December.

Re: Weta Smaug

Uh oh, the old stone trolls debate, is this a statue or an environment

Re: Weta Smaug

Both, either way I'm getting it.

And it looks huge.

Re: Weta Smaug

Was hoping for something bigger and impressive really.

 

[SolidLiquidFox]

Re: Weta Smaug

Same here. The Balrog basically overshadowed this piece.

Re: Weta Smaug

I'm looking at my Erebor environment right now, and the footprint on Smaug is a LOT bigger.
Like BD, possibly larger.

Re: Weta Smaug



Smaug will take up some serious real estate. Balrog looks good but this to me looks fantastic.

Re: Weta Smaug

Is that erebor an extra for Smaug or the environment? What's with the blacked out middle of it?

Re: Weta Smaug

Also his tail is tucked under him, what is the part on the right hand side?
