So, disappointment seems to be the consensus thus far. Could they possibly have misprinted the size? I know for a fact that they have done this before.

Dimensions seem right, unless this guy is an absolute Hulk of a guy. I'd have to say I'm disappointed with the size and the price, but the level of detail looks incredible (at least from these pics). Disappointed - yes - ordered - yes - it's just so damn cool looking

Weta is insane with these small expensive pieces.

At this price, I am unequivocally passing on it. At a far better price, I'd definitely pick it up.

It is a shame . . . I have to say, I'm not overly impressed with the $100 discount for SDCC orders either. How about a $100 discount for customers who have already ordered a few other Weta pieces but can't go to the SDCC

I'll probably buy the prawn, but not this. And that price is crazy, but Weta is rather prone to doing that at times...

Here's a couple more of Weta's pics (and a comparison screen shot) . . . I'm repeating myself (clearly) but there just looks to be an immense amount of detail in this piece, and of course it looks 100% screen accurate IMO (barring a bit more BD) . . . will be interesting to see how long it takes for the 600 to sell:

Yeah, that is a slap in the face.

US$600?!? And smaller than Christopher Johnson?
That's heartbreaking, I wanted this so much.
