Yeah, thought it was from the character line Weta has been talking about. Really looking forward to seeing things come from this as well and I'll be getting a few pieces from it for sure.

I saw that in the Weta promo video that ran before FOTR EE last month.

I'm hoping these will have a bit of scenery or environment given their small size, should make for a nice mini diorama.

I like the pose and Weta was very smart to produce a statue of Gandalf sitting down given the 6" [15 cm] height restriction of this statue line. He is however going to stick out like a sore thumb when Weta produces other characters in the line because of the significant difference in scale.

Maybe not. Perhaps they've already considered this and he will fit right in.

Not necessarily, perhaps they are going to do a line of all seated or laying down characters?

Elrond's council?

That thought did occur to me. I don't know how Weta is going to get around this varied scale issue , but it will be interesting to see what they have in mind. As it stands any other human characters, if standing, will be in 1/12 scale. The Hobbits will be in 1/6 scale and Gandalf here looks to be somewhere in the 1/7-1/8 scale range.

I like this Gandalf concept.

Didn't know about this line. I'm curious and interested in seeing what Weta plans to do, even if I find the height limitation very odd.

With such a restricted format, there are not many possibilities I can think of. Council of Elrond would be pretty big and expensive and I'm not sure that's what this collection is supposed to be
Boromir's death (a personal favorite) might be a good candidate. Maybe Hobbits at Weathertop ...

Elrond's council?

I can see this as possible.
All sitting except frodo who is placing the ring on the table.

 

[the angry orc]

this is the same line as the new weta gollum right? i picked him up the other day.

 

[Agent23]
