Can you believe the first chapter of the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy was released 20 years ago? This calls for a celebration 📯

Curious to see what they'll do. Asmus Toys has the 1/6 scale figures down, Prime 1 is doing 1/4 scale statues, and Weta are making 1/6 statues and dioramas.

The more places that make LOTR the better.

Having only ever watched all three movies once, and that was back when they came out (years ago) i am surprise LOTR is as popular as it is. I guess it is?

It's probably a little unfair to give the full accountability of LotR success to the movie's alone. The books already had a huge following prior to the movie's, not to mention all the derivative material created off the back of LotR - such as Dungeons & Dragons, Warhammer - and most other "Sword & Sorcery" epics.
JRR Tolkien did for "fantasy" what Asimov or Herbert did for Sci Fi.....in my opinion.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

Infinity Studios is doing 1/1 busts & 1/2 statues. DarkSide Studios also appears to be planning 1/4 scale statues.

Yup  Not a bad thing for the customer though, hopefully this means that I get to have the LotR collection I've been waiting for.
So far I'm liking the Weta classics line the most, although I really hope that DarkSide does something awesome with the John Howe signature collection.

Agree. I like the Weta stuff, but I find it just too overpriced. The few things I actually would have bought, I didn't get before they sold out. And have not liked the Sideshow and Prime 1 stuff.
