Looks like SS have competition. I believe these are 1/12th scale so quite small.

So when did Weta collectibles get going?

**Bullseye** · 07-22-2010, 03:55 PM

They have been on the go for years. But this is a newly announced line.

I used to have some of the Sideshow Weta LoTR busts (sold them off) but I didnt know Weta had their own line going.

**Bullseye** · 07-22-2010, 03:59 PM

This is the first piece.

If they are small (and therefore not too expensive) there could be some tempting things coming then.

**Bullseye** · 07-22-2010, 04:05 PM

Yep. If they are cheap which you would expect with a 1/12th scale line (although don't say that to DC) I might buy a few select characters for the missus.

Based on Con reports, this is actually larger then 1/12th scale. Overall, around the same size as the DVD included one.
So it seems the scale can vary a bit, just got to be smaller then 1/6th.

As for when Weta Collectibles started, they started with the original LOTR statues, so around 10 years ago. It's just that those were all sold via Sideshow at the time.

I like it! Would go nicely with the DVD collectors set statues
