I think it's about time we hear something from Weta! They haven't announced anything since the Superman Returns pieces.
After adding another 1,000 to the Kong vs T-Rax after releasing a ES figure, poor sales of Narnia, and poor sales of Superman Returns, I think WETA has its work cut out in trying to win back customer credibility. I don't think starting an 'originals' line is the best move. Not to say that it won't be successful, because if they're really cool and have reasonable ES, I'd probably buy in, but the risk is alot higher with unlicensed products with no established fanbase and given WETA Collectibles' current situation...welp, I have my doubts. 'WETA Gear' doesn't exactly help either =/

I bet they're glad they ended their partnership with Sideshow and decided to go it alone!

Wasn't their partnership with Dark Horse when they did Kong and Narnia though?

kinda reminds me of Marilyn Manson so I am guessing it could be for the new movie "ALice in Wonderland" where Marilyn Manson will play the Queen. It is being filmed somewhere in Europe so that is my guess.

Agent, did I hear you say "Alice"? Anyway, isn't there a chat scheduled on their site today? Let's ask them about the new stuff.

Hi Everyone,
Weta's Kong and Narnia lines were distributed by Dark Horse comics, who made a real mess of both lines, which is why they all go for such a cheap price now. The Superman Returns stuff was through DC Direct I believe. The one ingredient Weta seems to be missing is SIDESHOW. Because they are some really talented sculptors, but if you can distribute the product properly, that can be devastating for a manufacturer regardless of how good they are (Example Palisades).
Thanks,
Mike
