This is only at the Weta website....

"Due to a cancelled wholesale order two are available in each warehouse".

Other retailers will have her, but I'm sure it would be very limited.

Preordered. I really liked it in San Diego. Never ordered a Weta piece before.

You’re in for a treat. Aside from the random QC issue that plagues every company to varying degrees their work is excellent!

Based on what you saw, what would you say the size is? Weta claims it's 1/4, but also only 18" in height, which doesn't really make sense considering the design.

It looked 1/4 scale to me. There's something wrong with the dimensions listed on the Weta site. It wasn't wider than it was tall.

Cross country skiing is great if you live in a small country.

I asked about this on Weta's IG account. This was their response

wetaworkshopHi @akuma72. Rest assured, 1:4 scale is correct! We've made the collectible based on the height of Lara Croft in Shadow of the Tomb Raider, as created by Square Enix.

Did you guys see this video, where it shows "The Scales of Our War" exhibited at the Te Papa museum. Large sculptures by Weta Workshop...

I have their LOTR figures (LURTZ AT AMON HEN and GANDALF) and boy do they look like a miniature of them. Those statues to me, are so damn detailed and heavy!

The only issue I had was with Lurtz. His damn arrow doesn't stay put. I'm sure that could be remedied with glue or some sort of adhesive, but I wouldn't want to do that, at this time.

So Hopefully we both will be please with Lara Croft

Try using museum putty. It can be molded into any size/shape and removed later without any damage to the piece. Every Lurtz has this problem and I used a piece of it about half the size of my pinky nail to hold mine in place. Can’t even tell it’s there and it’s never moved since.
