Treebeard Full Size Statue...

[Collection King 13]

I do not collect LOTR statues... But if Sideshow were to make a Full Size Statue of Treebeard to be in scale with the others... It would probably be around 6ft Tall.... How many of you would buy it?

If I collected the LOTR statues I would buy it! :buttrock:

[DDura711]

You would buy anything.

[Collection King 13]

You would buy anything.

I wouldnt buy that one now... But If I was buying the LOTR statues I would...

[DLMEsquire]

Hell yeah, I'd want to buy it! But at Sideshow prices it would be about $1 Billion!

[Collection King 13]

Very true.... IMO, They would probably charge $1000 - $1500....

[RickDTM]

CK - Methinks you're being wayyy too kind there..... :)

[Collection King 13]

So what you think Rick? $2500 - $3000 Maybe? Or Higher?

[RickDTM]

Oh yeah....probably higher than that. I'm using the Alien Queen as a guide here, as she seems to be the biggest piece they have to date. She's only a bust, and at 2ft tall she's close to $1000. She's relatively skinny, so something big and thick like a 5-6ft Treebeard would be upwards of $4-5K I think.....not to mention how much shipping a monster like that would cost! It would weigh in at probably close to 100lbs I think. Polystone is pretty heavy stuff.

I wonder what Sideshow would say if someone offered that suggestion... hmmmm... :rolleyes: They would probably :laugh: their asses off!!! :D

[RickDTM]

A full size Treebeard? Oh yeah...they'd likely get a chuckle out of that one....

I think you should volunteer. They'd start laughing before you even opened your mouth (of sauron) :D

:stick: DAMN YOU!!!! :banghead: :stick:

[DLMEsquire]

I agree with RIck. I think it would be at least 4-5k, probably too much.

[Bullseye]

And also, since Treebeard was at least as tall as a 300 year Old Oak, I doubt that many people wuld have the space for that one. A 1/10 scale or similar might be more appropriate.

[Collection King 13]

What scale are their statues on now?

[Sniper]

I would but it my son loves this character because he was stepping on the orcs!

[Bullseye]

There full size are about teh same size as Bowen. Its hard to gage as the Morgul Lord is much bigger that the orcs.

CK I found the website for the 30' Treebeard but it has been shut down! Bummer I wanted that picture. It was in front of a lodge or camp. Carved from a tree, and massive! Didn't look the greatest but a really cool idea.

[Sniper]

it would cost alot for that one

[Collection King 13]

No Sh!t Sherlock!

[Zurbaran1]

Bullseye: Afull size Treebeard statue would be greater.
Sniper: Damn, I gotta get me one of those

Galactus: The Director's Cut Daredevil DVD is much better than the theatrical release
Sniper: I may have to pick this one up.

CK13: The John Cleary Spiderman is just off the hook
Sniper: I want this one NOW. Finish it already.

Eydlhands: The complete JLA bust set comes with a bonus Spectre bust
Sniper: I gotta order that, what do I have to do. Where do I send my money?

DDura: Damn, I just found out I got a hernia!
Sniper: Put me down for one of those. NO wait, two, one on each side. :eplus2:

[Bullseye]

Looks like Sniper is goin to have to remortgage the house.

[Comicboy]

CK found the Treebeard picture. 30' tall x 6' wide

[RickDTM]

Acck!!!! That thing is HUGE!!

Speaking of Treebeard, what's the going rate for the bust?

[Sniper]

hernia are for old geezer modo scums like you zubby!!!!!!!!!

[Zurbaran1]

hernia are for old geezer modo scums like you zubby!!!!!!!!!

Come here......THWACK!!!!

[Sniper]

Lol :tounge: :thumbs2:

Rick, the retail on Treebeard was $300. It really jumped up in price a while back and you couldn't get your hands on one for less than $400. Some were going for close to $600. The price has come down and it looks to have settled at around $350. I remember seeing one a few months ago that went for soemthing like $260 on eBay. There were only 1500 of these made so it is on the low end as far as production numbers and I would not be surprised to see this one start moving up again. If you don't have one, and it sounds like you do not, all I can say is, this is a fabulous piece. Just massive and this one has your name all over it as far as repainting. You could really go to town on it.

[RickDTM]

Thanx for the info Zurb.....and another one goes on the list. I curse myself for not picking this up originally, but initially it did nothing for me. Now that I get a better look at the size of this monster, I want one!

Still blaming you for all of this..... :D

I get blamed for a lot of stuff around here. It's a burden I must bare. :D
I went through the same thing. Initially I didn't really pay much attention to this one. Then when I decided to get one the price was just crazy. I'm glad I waited. One day they sent my LCS a couple and I grabbed on right away. It did cost me $350 though. Well worth it if you ask me. This piece commands attention. You will go to town on it and the end result will be nothing short of spectacular.

[Sniper]

blame zurb I do , makes you feel good!!!!

[RickDTM]

It's kinda like diverting the Eye of Sauron ( in this case my wife's baleful glare). If I keep her busy hunting for Zurb, I'm free to commit wanton acts of purchasing! :D
