Picked this up yesterday, its a fun little piece. Its approx 10" long, cast in solid white metal, es of 750.

Paint is good, as you would expect from weta.

Awesome piece congrats! Let me tell u man I have just received their V-rex bust in December I just didn't want to open a new thread about it, but now I grab the opportunity if you don't mind to say that: Their staff is no compare! This was my first WETA collectibles -apart from art books I ordered- but this bust exceeds all expectations! My most impressive piece without doubt and I have life sized busts, statues and maquettes from SS and from different companies as well! So let's just say WETA easily climbed to the first place of collectables in my humble heart! D9 exo-suit is on the way!

So once again congrats for the AG! Enjoy!

The V-Rex bust does look awesome, great pick-up! For quality and service I don't think you can beat Weta. Have you posted pics?

No I haven't. I didn't find a thread and then, since its not a new piece I decided against it. Did you buy any other D9 collectibles?

The Assault rifle miniature is next on my list. I'd love to get the Exosuit, got to save for that one though.

So glad to finally have these . Thanks to my cousin who worked at Weta Digital, as he managed to get me the District 9 weapons during his visit to India and I was able to avoid shipping them directly from New Zealand, thus also avoided the customs hassle.

I hope Weta is considering to release the Fuel Canister replica.

District 9 - Arc Generator Miniature (1:4 scale) - Edition number: 024 / 750.



District 9 - Assault Rifle Miniature (1:4 scale) - Edition number: 492 / 750.
