Thanks for pointing it out--somehow 'ol eagle eyes here missed it!!! :slap

Pork Chop, Thanks for so many great pictures! Glad your happy with your Smaug.

Mine is on it's way as well!! I don't mind the price--if it looks, in hand, as well done as that beautiful prototype!!!

Boy, the ol' Freak Board looks a bit different, eh? It's been years! Glad that a few of you are over here while we await the fate of the Shadow & Flame board. I half expected to see a question about the message board on the Weta Questionnaire that was just sent out... I've ordered The House...

Great pictures!!! Especially the one with Jewel holding her figure. So glad your able to show the actors your work, Old Grandpa!!!

Great job Alex!!! These couldn't look any better if they were made by Lego!!! :clap:blissy:clap :ogat

Very well done, Old Grandpa!!! Beautifully posed and displayed as well. p.p.

If its still available, I'd love to get it from you!! Where in Southern CA are you, I might be able to pick it up in person. Thanks, Chris

Re: The Official "The Hobbit" movie thread Great choice, Wanderer!! Like some people, I was leaning towards Martin Freeman until I looked around YouTube at Mr. Sheen's work based on your comment. This guy would be PERFECT!! Take a look at the range of his work: in 'The Damned United'...

I'm surprised that more people aren't really excited about this! Would have thought most everyone would be elated to get more of the original Weta pieces. Myself, I've got it on order and looking forward to seeing it.

Speaking as one who owns both of the Danbury pieces, they are OK, but even the tiny little SS/Weta Minas Tirith beats the pants off the larger Danbury one as far as looking like the model used in the film. I'd love to see the same Weta excellence applied to Barad Dur (not sure how/if they'd...
