Weta News: November 2009

from Weta:

Éowyn and the Nazgûl
John Howe’s incredibly dynamic and exquisitely detailed sculpture by Daniel Cockersell is now available for pre-order in faux bronze. The edition size for this fine art collectible is a mere 300, just like the first sculpture in the range, Smaug the Golden which opened for pre-order in August. You can ask John Howe questions about his new range of sculptural art from Middle-earth on the Weta Forum at the Shadow and Flame. Leave your questions there, and John will join us for a Q&A session soon.

The Red Eye of Sauron Pin
Designed by John Howe for Weta Workshop’s crew clothing, the Red Eye of Sauron became an unofficial emblem for Weta during the filming of the trilogy. When in need of a Weta technician, the film crew and cast would look for the symbol of the Red Eye. Our first batch sold out on the first day, but we now have fresh new stock, so please get your orders in!

VICTORY! Bigger, Bolder, Better, Brighter! By Broadmore!
The year’s foremost journal of progressive armaments and weaponry! Behold the latest line of defense captured in action! The second book to emerge from the printshop at Grordbort Industries, Victory follows in the footsteps of the trans-galactically successful Dr. Grordbort’s Contrapulatronic Dingus Directory that was released last year. Victory will be available at the end of this month! Get your pre-order in so you get the art card signed by Greg Broadmore as well! This art card only comes with pre-orders placed on the Weta website!

Home, Sweet Hobbit Hole!
We have received many requests from fans, friends, customers and staff to create a collectible sculpture of Bag End, from the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Today we are pleased to confirm this project has started. Read More!

Silent Night, Halo Night?
Master Chief Sterling Silver Ring — the ultimate collectible for the hardcore Halo fan. The weightiest piece of bling you’ll ever own. And of course the perfect gift for the Halo fan in your family. The first production run sold out in a couple of months. And over half of them went to the glorious state of Texas! We’re curious — is Texas a Halo stronghold? Or a state fascinated by chunky jewellery? Drop us a line and tell us!

Strider’s Sword, Glamdring, Sting? What Next?
The next sword in our Lord of the Rings collection will be made available for order before Christmas. But which one will it be? We haven’t actually made the final decision yet, so why not hop onto The Shadow and Flame and discuss in the Weta Forum. We’ll be listening as usual! Andúril sold out within the first few weeks, so whichever blade is next in line, it’s likely to be very sought-after.

This is how you find us online!
