Statue Sideshow-Weta King Theoden Statue

Got this one a while back from a fellow freak. Loved the statue when I had it the first time and glad to have it back.

Nice Josh! This is a nice King Theoden statue. The armour is simply awesome! The face is okay; the bust resembles Bernard Hill more facially. But this is a great-looking statue nonetheless. I have it and always look at it and I'm impressed each time. Did you repaint the golden parts of his armour? Mine's colour is a bit faded but that's how it came. I might do a bit of touch-up when I get the time.

Thanks! Yeah, it's a pretty sweet statue IMO. I love the armor of Rohan and Gondor as well. All the armors of Middle-earth are just really great looking. I think the likeness is spot on but the bust is even a bit better and is a piece on my radar. No, it came that way from the freak I bought it from. I've been lucky both times mine have been really good.

Great statue and crappy painting, I do not think there is one that is well painted, and the sword, ugh, I have mine way down on the lower shelf and the sword is nowhere to be seen.

Love this piece. Theoden was only one of two I kept from my original collection of SS/W statues

It is a great statue but I would disagree that there aren't ones with good painting. I personally think mine is really well done except the sword hilt. I do remember seeing a few that were more ally messed up luckily I've been able to avoid that.

Yeah, it was one of the first pieces I went back to get. Awesome statue.

It's not necro-posting but it ain't far off.


Good to see the Originals given an airing again. They certainly have a great look and quality about them and set in motion some great collections over the years. Didn't WETA put a picture of the old King stepping off the rock in they WETA guide

Love this piece for the armour detail along with Elrond, Easterling and the dying Haradrim (THE most underated piece of art punished simply for it's pose )

I couldn't find a thread. I looked I promise.

I wanted to take pictures of things I had rebought but also the only pics I had was with my not so great digital camera. I've gotten a little better so I wanted to update my shots. The SSW line is superb it is something special for many of us who are fans of Middle-earth. I don't remember I'll have to look.

Agreed! The detail is fantastic on all of those and I have a Haradrim coming back into the collection.

The paint work on mine is spot on.

And why would you not have the sword? That must look VERY odd!!

Save your money and get some glasses then take a real good look!

Actually it looks pretty damn good with no sword, that thing one calls a sword look like a crappy piece of plastic, try it and see.
