Weta's The Hobbit statues at SDCC

[The Josh]

It looks great in your video. Yeah i noticed you and the ipad reflection in a display cabinet! You did a good job, you gave a good sense of what i'll be receiving.

Yeah, I managed to show up a few times. Thanks! "duff

Will there be Smaug?!

 

[The Josh]

Yeah, there will be a statue and in the movie.

I was hoping as much. I hope it is more detailed than the nazgul they released. I felt the nazgul was a bit "flat" and lacked character... the eagle v nazgul statue was better designed though. I hope Smaug comes out great!

I'm sure when weta gets to him he will kick all kinds of butt. They got too much talent to miss out on it.

At Shadow and Flame forums, they have told that they can't give more details about the realeases before Ocober, 1st, but I've asked Weta the next and this is the answer:

Thanks.


Hi Ballder

Welcome to the forum

Some of them will be In-stock on 1 Oct, and others will be Pre-order.

Most of them will be In-stock before Xmas !

Kind regards

Gonna have to save up the money fast. October will be here before you know it.

Technically, Weta already have released a Smaug, just not the film specific one, which I'm sure they will. But even so, it may not be a lot different, given that the same concept artist is behind it all.
