I wouldn't be too sure. When I bought the BOTFA Saruman at black friday 2016, he was only out a month or 2 if I remember correctly. Also, at these price points, and with the amount of releases Weta is doing, the statues are lasting longer than they normally would. And also remember that not everyone collects the Hobbit, there are a healthy amount of LOTR only collectors out there.

Elfs are the most popular characters,more popular than Saruman.
But we will see.

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

You be surprised. It’s $800 for 2 1/6 and weta shippings are always expensive. They re also just generic characters not any specific heroes. No way I am paying full price for them.

Nice sculpt and execution though by weta.

Weta has been pumping out the product and there is much more to come between now and BF. Couple that with these price points and my money is on both of these still being around in 7 months.

It’ll certainly help push their product but I still don’t see it as being enough. I could be wrong though.

If SDCC has a lot of great stuff, then that might take some of this elf/dwarf money away to something else...we'll find out sooner or later

Holy insanity! These are things of beauty for sure!
A+ for sculpts
A+ for character choices
A+ for ingenuity of design...wow the option to connect the two like that is sweet!
F for huge price hike.

Does anyone know if that scene was a movie only scene? or was that in the books too?

Dang I'm becoming selective with my stuff because of price and space, but what's with the more than double in price.
They are now charging Premium Format prices for 1:6 statues?

Weta statues are incredible, but at that price, I'm out of their line unfortunately
