Weta District 9 Exo Suit!!!

[chris rankin]

Congrats guys. I also got mine today and the detail and weathering are just excellent. Whilst the size was never an issue for me it is one nice sweet chunk of suit, quality stuff.




Where is here? They have warehouses to cover US,Europe and NZ,Aus-Asia although more stock is due in Oct for the latter.

Europe. The cheapest I have found it is 500 euros without shipping.

Weta's price is 399 GBP which is what like 450 Euro and i have heard as MM said that shipping is good.

#70 safe and sound. So many great pics I won't bother posting any for now until I can get some mood lighting set up . Truly is one hell of a piece. I think the size is perfect - any bigger and it would be hard to display (for me, anyway). Inspired me to fire up District 9 and watch this beast in action! Well done, Weta.

Hehe, I did the same thing.

I like the size too, Weta sure did pack in all the fine details. Very impressive statue.

Some more pics of retouching WIP.

Only few adjustments away from finish.

Thanks. I just had a look at their site and shipping is only 28 dollars which is reasonable and no import fees which is great. Still not too sure about the size of it for the moola.

Its presence is bigger than you would think, it's one solid chunk that's for sure.

Lets hope I can make up my mind before they are all gone There are a few other items I have my eye on too. Decisions

This thing does look awesome and I love the detail. It's just much to small for my taste. If it were about 2x bigger I would have bought it no problem.

Some paint retouches to add more of that "Alien Tech/Weaponry" feel.

Awesome custom touches. Looks perfect. What did you use?

Looks excellent THX especially like that he now appears to have his eyes back as if he's a living breathing creature once again.

Grats DL.

Looks great man!

How hard was the assault rifle to get off? Mine is a bit crooked, need to fix it up.

Thanks DL. The amount of the glue they used on these can be vary. So I can only speak my experience on mine. For mine, I carefully snap it off by hand and there will be a steal wire that connect the rifle to mount, just cut it and remove the rifle completely and the rest is easy. The rifle can be re-shaped without removing it from the arm though.
