from Weta:
Hey Weta fans,
New products, new book signings, a flourishing forum, special offers and more exciting news than you can shake a stick at. We’re manifesting our return to Middle-earth by releasing our first new polystone collectible from The Lord of the Rings, The Argonath flanking the river Anduin. This is total Deja Vu for us and extra exciting because that’s how Weta started its foray into collectibles back in the heady days of 2001. Enjoy!
Pre-order The Argonath!
Weta’s return to Middle-earth and specifically to polystone collectibles from The Lord of the Rings is celebrated with a truly iconic piece. It continues on from previous environments that have been popular with collectors the world over. The big difference this time is that the edition size is a mere 500. They will not last long, so get your pre-order in now. The Argonath will be shipped world wide!
Book signings galore at the Weta Cave:
2 October — Ian Brodie signs The Lord of the Rings guidebooks
3 October — Alan Lee signs advance copies of his new book
1 November — New Champ the Chopper book to be launched
In the News:
Weta will be attending the Armageddon Pulp Expo in Auckland on New Zealand’s Labour Day weekend, 24-26 October. This will be the first opportunity for many to see some of our new ranges. We will also be attending the Trinity of Terrors in Las Vegas at Halloween, after an invitation from our friends at Fangoria. This will be totally insane.

Have you pre-ordered your VICTORY yet?
As you are no doubt aware, we’re now taking pre-orders for: Victory! Scientific Adventure Violence for Young Men and Literate Women. It follows the style of Dr. Grordbort’s Contrapulatronic Dingus Directory that was released last year. This is what Guillermo del Toro thinks about the book:
Wild, bizarre adventures told by the fireplace in a smokey, wood-panelled Gentleman’s club… but not in Victorian England but in a dazzling “Uchronism” that works both as a satire of our times and as a convex mirror for a future that never was. A violent, vibrant Neverland, witty and brilliantly realized. This book is your passport into a fully-formed habitat populated by dangerous, unstoppable predators — both human and inhuman…
Weta’s NEW FAN FORUMS are more popular than ever!
A few of the Weta artists (as well as a couple of us here in the office) have been completely hooked and are participating actively in the boards on the Shadow and Flame. Come and join us!
Weta Dollars Reminder:
Don’t forget — if you hold Weta Dollars that were earned on our OLD website, these expire 31 December 2009, so make sure you spend them before then!
This is how you find us online!
