Not a fan of the fire. It looks too florescent.

Pre-order today for the Balrog statue, big question is what the price will be.

$599 if you pre-order it. I believe it's $650 if not. I'm curious how the Smaug statue will stack up as far as price goes.

17 inches seems a little small but it should look good in a Besta display. I ordered mine.

Borrow money from a pessimist, they don't expect it back.

Do you need to pay upfront when ordering from WETA?

Check out my review of the LSB. I think its the best representation of the Balrog to date. Just IMHO.

I wish they had toned down the flame colours. They still have not gotten that design element right. Might have been better to cast the flames in clear resin. Also not a a fan of the pose. The original is far superior.

Smaug looks the business hopefully the price is reasonable.

I missed out on the first one, couldn’t pass on the second. I figure having a $50 per-order discount and them giving you 59.90 Weta Dollars on top of that it is not a bad deal. At 33 pounds this looks to be a heavy, quality statute, not some hollow cast. Early Christmas present!
