Same. This is the main piece I was waiting for, but of course I want them all. Not knowing how many pieces there are for the line up makes it hard to decide what to pick up. They could really stretch it out if they wanted to and produce a long line of characters. I would be satisfied with the main characters (Ludo will be huge) and one piece of a gaggle of goblins.

It would take a mansion to display every LOTR piece Weta has ever done.

I can't see this being a long line. There isn't that many characters. Unless they do different versions of Jareth. Which makes me want to hold off ordering other pieces for those, lol. I can see them wanting to do his black outfit.

I can. Look at Dark Crystal. So long as they sell, Weta will keep making them. Their team is full of Labyrinth fanatics.

There's the obvious top tier:

• Hoggle
• Ludo

Then you have the mid tier:

• Wiseman (can almost guarantee it)
• Junk Lady (very ambitious amount of detail and craftsmanship)
• Four Guards (would be expensive but it's iconic)
• Fireys (one of them at least)
• Door Knockers (1:3 scale or higher)

And finally the low tier:

• False Alarms (very unlikely)
• Throne Room goblins (maybe the most recognisable ones all together)
• Nipper Stick Goblin Soldiers (one of them, classic moment)
• Mounted Goblin Knights (one of the colours, probably red)
• Goblin Cannonball with cannon (would pair well with below)
• Gatling Goblin (hilarious)
• Humongous (too big)
• The Cleaners (too big)

I don't think it will all get made but I do think you'll see statues from both my mid and low tier list.

I would love a statue of the goblin group that is hanging out outside Sarah's house in the beginning when she summons the Goblin King to take Toby.

So many good ones. I know it is gimmicky, but I wouldn't mind a False Alarms diorama with sound.

I would like to see Hoggle from the scene by the wall where he is killing pixies. Maybe they could find a way to incorporate the worm.

I am tempted to buy the doorknockers Chronicle produced...

Looks like Weta is doing both door knockers as well.

I wonder if all three pieces will be 1:1?

They teased the worm in their first video. There wasn't much reference to go by but it looked to be about 1:1 based on the thickness of the feathering. And it makes sense given its size in the movie.

I've no clue how they're going to do the door knockers, very curious to see.

I guess it's possible they got the rights/molds to the door knockers Chronicle produced, which are still for sale at Sideshow for $680.
