Those dino skulls look great for roughly $30.

[SwoopingCloakofSureness]

Dang...it does look huge. Thanks for the link.

[Gazmog]

Swoop, check out the others...they're awesome.:drool

[elwood49]

Holy crap!!! Now I see why they raised the price to $495. VERY impressive. I still need to see the movie before I order this piece though. If I like the film, then I'll pick up a Kong v. T-Rex and a Kong litho in 2006.

[Eleventy1]

Ah, that T-Rex v KK is on the to get list for sure.
Just have no idea where I could possibly put the thing. :ted

I can't believe the size of the busts either.
The bookends have a question mark by them.

[Dassy]

V Nice,not my cup of tea.

:hat

[Heart Of Stone]

They look good , but I'll pass . I'll be waiting for The Hobbit . I have a feeling that the new Starwars line will kill the Kong line dead in its tracks . People only have so much money , so it's kinda hard to spread the wealth among multiple product titles , especially when one of those is Starwars , which demands top dollar and is infamous for creating every possible character , some of which I'm not sure Lucas even new existed . Most of the original Kong fans are deceased and Starwars is a freight train that just won't stop !

[adoptedscot]

All I can say is WOW !, thnks for the pictures, they are great.

I honestly never thought of buying these until I saw these pictures.Where do we get them from, are they on sale now?

Thanks folks

This is an awesome piece, but why have they made
the T-rex, into some hybrid-Raptor.

A T-rex would never use, it's legs and claws like that, to kill and fight..
:\

[Magneticzero]

The V Rex is more evolved than the T Rex. It may be more agile because of the extra million years of evolution.

[TURINS BANE]

Yeah, I see what your saying. After all the years, The T-rex
would surely evolve. I was just expecting to see a standard
normal Rex, like what we got in the in the Jurassic park films.

[Gazmog]

TB, if I was in a fight with a friggin huge gorilla, I would use any part of my body to fight him with. :lol

[TURINS BANE]

Yeah good point Gaz,:lol thinking about it now, I would do the same.

[pitchin4eva]

BETTER QUALITY PICS (some are the same but some new ones) HERE (http://www.theonering.net/scrapbook/group/1717/)

[TURINS BANE]

Excellent, I might get that Raptor statue, to go alongside the Kong vs. Rex.8)

[Gazmog]

Thanks for those pics, Mark.

If you wanted to get an Andy Serkis statue...buy the raptor & lumpy piece. :lol

[Eleventy1]

If someone is visiting the DH booth, could you take pics of the chess set please? And some of the pieces if it's not too much trouble? Ta

[Gazmog]

I would be interested to know if they are exhibiting the Kong skull.

[elwood49]

Can someone ask the guys at the Weta booth about what sort of scenes we can look forward to on the 2 lithos? T-Rex/Kong is a definite, but I wonder what the other will be. I wonder when pics of them will surface.

BTW, my Rivendell litho arrived yesterday and it's absolutely fantastic! I even like it better than Barad-Dur. I only wish they made a ROTK print to complete my set.

Oh well, maybe I'll get the Gandalf on Gwaihir next year sometime if it's still available. WAAAY too much coming this year to even consider getting it now.

[FlyAndFight]

I love the Rex vs Kong statue. It's simply amazing, but for some reason, particularly with that pic of the piece alone, it almost looks like Rex is dipping Kong while dancing... ;)

[Doomhammer]

The more I see the more I like. But what I was really waiting for is pics of Kong on the Empire State Building.
Kong vs rex hasn't got the pose I'd like. I think they should have went for the moment of show down, the menacing look of the two facing eachother, not the moment when they actually go into fighting... but that's just me.
The bookends look kinda neat, the skulls are nice and the Wall plaques are great.

[Gazmog]

Perhaps they should have captured the moment from the '33 film, assuming PJ shot it, when Kong forces the T-Rex's jaw open in an attempt to kill it.

Wall plaques, or do you mean those dino. bust things?

[DetroitSportsFan]

Anyone know the size dimensions of the Kong vs T-Rex statue?

[DetroitSportsFan]

Nevermind, I just saw it's 21.65" H X 16.14" W X 14.96" D

[bonsey]

I disagree with your comments.I reckon the Star wars line will fall flat on it's face.So far the only decent statue I've seen is the Grievous one and at $450,I think I'm going to cancel.The reason SW products have been popular in the past is because they have mostly been affordable TOYS for kids and collectors.I think adult SW collectors will soon get tired of all the 'exclusives' (three or four different versions of a bad Luke statue?)and the endless amount of characters they COULD release.
The new KK and Narnia products outshine the SW ones by a long way IMO and will capture the imagination of a broader spectrum of movie goers
Face it..EP 1+2 are cack and 3,although better, will not stand the test of time.And I am a HUGE fan of SW before anyone retaliates!!

[Gazmog]

Bonsey, you won't get a defensive 'defender of the 1/4 line' response from me. Grievous is one statue I will keep on order.

There were elements of the eps 1 & 2 that worked, and many that didn't; ep 3 was a prequel triumph, but will not, IMO, supersede the real gems of Lucas' imagination, the OT!

I love the idea that we'll be seeing some high-quality Kong products hitting the streets this Christmas, and despite not being a die-hard fan of Narnia, I have nevertheless read Lewis' masterpiece years ago, and admire the efforts they've made to bring it to film. The Kong collectibles, or a few of them at least, will be something I will take pleasure in collecting. If only they release some images of those lithographs.:bang :rolleyes :|

Somebody must know something!!!:poke

[Viking28]

How you can say the SW line will fall right on its face is beyond me. All of them have sold out so far so if that is falling on its face well damn I bet SS want to do that more often.

Wow somebody better tell that to M.R. they seem to be doing very well with their high priced SW pieces.

I dont understand why there always has to be a "vs" thing SWvsLOTR, KKvsSW, LOTRvsNarnia what is that all about? If you like something from a film get it but to do a vs thing to another line is silly.
Im thinking of picking up some of the Harry Potter busts should I do Harry Potter vs King Kong? Which is better?
And I'll most likely pick something up from Kong if I can afford it.

[Gazmog]

I get a little bit of this and a little bit of that. Some Kong, a few LOTR, a fair few SW pieces, a batmobile :\ :D and no doubt some other stuff. The 1/4 scale represents (for me) an expensive range of figures that I've not been accustomed to, which doesn't mean to say they're bad...because they're not. I won't be collecting them all, not a chance, and infact I have made some cancellations in the last few days. I will be keeping 3 of them on order right now, but their status may change...especially if can find those Code 3 ships I am missing.

[bonsey]

I said nothing of one film vs another.Buy what you like and thats it.I love SW,LOTR and from what i've seen of the KK and Narnia trailers i'll probably love them too!!:grouphug
It's just that I know a few people who,like myself got quite excited when SS got their SW licence,but are now cancelling their stuff for various reasons.Did'nt mean to offend anyone.xx

[FlyAndFight]

Ebay is going to be flooded with Hasbro SW 12" figs once Sideshow kicks into gear... I should know, I've got just about all of them...:bonk

[phanatix999]

I didn't take any pictures of the chess set :bonk but it looks amazingly detailed...
I'll try to get someone that is there tomorrow to take pics it... maybe Chuck took some pics.

[Eleventy1]

I found some pics of the Chess set on Torn.

[SamAKALiz]

I have a confession to make. As a die hard LOTR fan, and financially challenged, I was going to resist all Kong pieces. But I cannot, now! I'm telling you that they are absolutely, unbelievably, amazingly great. :thud

(And heck, I've always been a fan of Kong anyway, and definately a Weta fan! :rock )

[jimmyjamesf]

Gaz,

PJ does pay homage to the 33 but has kicked it up to a whole new level. I can't really do justice to it in words but it was an amazing clip.

I didnt take many pics this year but I took a ton of video of stuff and I am still working on getting it all set up. Here is what I took of the Kong vs Vrex statue. Kong VS Vrex Quicktime (http://https://www.firesidecollectibles.com/index.asp?PageAction=Custom&ID=39)

This is probably true, can't say I have ever seen one kill and fight in person tho! BUT a gorilla certainly wouldn't be carrying a full grown woman around in his fist!!! :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

Rumor:
WETA made a "mistake" on the listing of the SRP of the Kong stuff, so now all of the Kong prices will go up. Word is the Kong vs. T-Rex statue will go up $100.
>:

Anyone have any details?

WETA made a "mistake" on the listing of the SRP of the Kong stuff, so now all of the Kong prices will go up. Word is the Kong vs. T-Rex statue will go up $100.

The MSRP of the Kong v. Rex statue is up to $495 after being $350 previously. I had one on order for $260 shipped prior to the price increase, but after it went up I'm waiting to see the film before I buy anything from it.

It was worth the risk at $260, but I could end up with a doorstop if I don't like the film (which is possible since I didn't like the trailer at all).

See the previous thread I started about this topic from a month ago here:

[jlcmsu]

Yeah, its a very cool piece but a lot of things will have to fall into place for me to grab it.

[Eleventy1]

Tower records seem to have scored an exclusive.
Anyone know their connection to KK?

[Lembas Eater]

Actually my two favorite pieces so far are: KONG BURSTS THROUGH (shown next to that Tower Exclusive actually) and the "SK.I.N."s - Skull Island Indigenous Natives - two of em in one statue: what looks like a warrior and the creepy lil girl that is seen in the trailer.

The others are fantastic too but I really appreciate what these two pieces tell of the story.
