from Weta:
Gollum available for pre-order!
We’re very pleased to open pre-orders for Gollum — the most iconic character from The Lord of the Rings movies and something everyone must have in their The Lord of the Rings collection. We have a small shipment of these on the way to our NZ warehouse as we speak. Gollum exists in two versions — one is a souvenir version only available in person at the Weta Cave in Wellington, the other is now available to pre-order and will be available to collectors the world over in December. New Zealanders will not have to wait quite so long… stay updated via our newsletter! Pre-order your Gollum Here!
Weta Cast Episode XVII with Gino Acevedo
The man who daringly strides the realm between the physical and the digital shares some of his latest endeavours with Magnus and Daniel. And we’ve invited Greg Broadmore to join us for some nonsensical banter and revelations from the world of Dr. Grordbort’s. Listen to it here!
Featured Products from Dr. Grordbort’s
Created by Weta Designer Greg Broadmore, this range started out three years ago as a range of hefty rayguns in strictly limited editions. Although these large guns are still central to the Dr. Grordbort’s universe, there are now books, bugs, bags and miniature guns in this range. Check out the Dr. Grordbort’s Shop!
