Statue Weta Workshop Comic-Con Exclusive Thorin Oakenshield Statue

[FrodoEyes]

So... the dwarf is about the same size as the old GTG?

Great piece but I do not like the fact that Thorin is 6ft..he should be 4 ft...he's closer to 1/4 scale now...that kinda bothers me

yup...they are not in scale with each other...really bothers me a little

 

[The Josh]

Can't say that bothers me at all. The statue looks great and that's what matters.

Cant argue there...but same scale would be a nice bonus...always is IMHO

 

[The Josh]

This looked a decent bit shorter than the gtg that was at sdcc.

 

[Saruman]

So do you think that Weta's GTG will look like a giant beside the SSW pieces? I was hoping the new Weta statues would blend in with the SSW pieces but I guess they won't?

 

[Adolfo]

So that means Beorn would be really tremendous...20 to 24 inches?...depending how they pose him...hey maybe even taller in bear form...

I don't know if I'd say giant but he looked to be taller by the right amount. Was hard to tell exactly because gtg wasn't right next to a dwarf . Everything will fit just fine I wouldn't worry.

Yeah, he should be fairly tall since the character is a large one.

Scale does seem to be a bit off, compared to the old SSW line. Thorin is almost as big as GTG and Thorin's pose is a bit hunched at that. Not a dealbreaker, but I expected him a bit smaller.

 

[FrodoEyes]

The SS LOTR maquettes seem a bit larger too so maybe the Weta Hobbit statues will fit in well for people who are collecting SS's LOTR line!

 

[The Josh]

They all look good together IMO.

 

[Saruman]

In this photo you can see that even though Thorin is standing at the front, he is a good bit taller than most of the other dwarves. I think if it was the Balin or Bombur statue beside GTG in the above photo then the scale issue would be fine. I guess Thorin is just a tall dwarf!

 

[Ballder]

The new Sideshow line is 1:6 and the old SSW line was 1:6, too. I have the two Arwens and the two Legolas and, really, I can't see any diference on their sizes (except the base)

 

[FrodoEyes]

Got my Thorin today! As ever, the actual piece is much better in person than what you see in photos. One of my concerns was the face - in photos he doesn't seem to have much detail there, but in person it looks fine.
I love the wood effect on the scabbard, and the detailing, especially in the cloak, is superb.
The overall pose looks much better in person too, and he doesn't feel TOO big like i had worried either.
And the base is cool
SO happy to have the first in a long line of Hobbit statues! Bring on October!

 

[Ballder]

congratz Frodo!!! I'll take mine at RingCon...in two months...

 

[The Josh]

Congrats sir. It's an awesome statue and I agree a great start to the line.

agreed i'd pay $300 but the asking prices are so high i'm not even bothering to make an offer cause postage has to be added to that
