I just don’t see how they can safely ship this with the amount of leaves and little pieces sticking out everywhere.
Arms, branches and of course the Hobbits will all likely plug into the body and be packed as separate pieces. There are far more complex pieces out there than this. I doubt there will be anything more than the random issues which can plague any statue in the shipping process.

I was thinking the same thing. It's being advertised as 1/6 scale, so the Hobbits should have the same size as the individual Hobbit statues they made. Their Bilbo and Gollum (from The Hobbit) are amazing, so it shouldn't be difficult to apply quality paint on that scale. The proto is a bit disappointing in that regard though.

I think the only disappointing thing about the whole statue is the hobbits likeness which could be a lot better. Although the rest of the statue is so impressive it's forgivable.

Price has been leaked.

The store contacted me and as a courtesy I am removing the price from this post.

Exactly the price I predicted. If true I’m in. Weta Bucks will shave off another $350 or so for Gold Members too.

I can't post it - just honoring the wishes of the store where I found the price.

Nobody knows for sure. I’d say just expect this to be around $2400 as many of us have been guessing from the get go.
