Thanks It's a fantastic statue. I just love the elegance yet the power that he is showing in this piece.

I know I'm going to have to miss out on some of these Weta statues. Too many at once.

Nice shots

Received 191/1000 today. I am really happy that I decided to jump on Weta after the disappointing waiting for some Sideshow announcements…

 

[The Josh]

Very nice shots. Weta did a fantastic job with this one. It was a total eye catcher at comic-con and came out that way in production.

I pre-ordered this item a while ago to be delivered from the UK warehouse, the page said it would be delivered in December and a guy from Weta emailed me confirming I would have it in hand before Christmas...but today the page changed to saying orders made before Nov 29th for UK warehouse delivery will either be shipped in December OR February?!

I don't understand....still hoping that I get this guy in December but I'm not so sure now.

Collecting The Precious - Weta Workshop's Thranduil Statue Review

Had to order this guy after catching the film finally. Looking forward to getting him.

I may have to break my 1:4 scale rule once again. My oldest daughter is enamored with Thranduil, he's so dreamy.

Thought I would post a few pics of my latest arrival. I had queried the scale as to Azog as he just looks massive compared to his Royal Slim-Jimness, but I quests Azog is just a big mo-fo

So, a couple of comparison shots to show just how big Azog is








And a few of his Highness himself

The coat is very well detailed and 'embroidered' with leaves and vines etc. But it is the colour that really strikes me. It appears silverish in low light and golden in more natural light. A beautiful paint choice





The crown is also another piece of art. Clever yet simple design that just gives a regal, environmental element to Thranduil.
His hair also has an ethereal look to it and has been painted in what looks like a pearlescent type paint.











The only minus is the sword which seems a bit chunky on the back edge and not 'shiny' enough, but it still all adds to a very elegant piece :amen


HEADS UP!

Nice pics! As far as Azog that's a great comparison because Thranduil isn't a small statue in his own right, but Azog is just so freaking massive its insane. Him and the Balrog basically take up a whole shelf in my cabinet on their own. Thranduil is a great statue IMO. The likeness is pretty spot on and the detailing that went into his gown and crown are just so well done. Then of course you toss in a superb paint job and this is one of the best statues in the line so far.

Nice pics!

^^ Great photos!

 

[Fritz]

Does anyone still have the original Elrond statue that they could pose with Thranduil and post some pics?

 

[SurlyJ]

I'm debating whether or not to get this thing in a trade. Pretty much between Thranduil and Chitauri Commander Hot Toy... very different choices. No huge love for the character, but love the statue and think he will go nicely with my Azog and Tauriel.

Bbts has this and Tauriel for $219
