- Gollum holding the ring with his insane happy face!! - Shelob. - an elophant (don't know how to spellit) with the warriors and stuff, walking or on the dead on the ground. - Minas Tirith
...and i also would prefer a statue of the Witch King on the wyvern... but i know WETA is allready producing this item.
I knew they'd have to get it out before Christmas!
December is fine with me. I WISH I had the EE right now, but since I have the TE to enjoy, can happily look forward to December without being too frustrated.
As far as the WETA item that will be in the Collector's Gift Set:
They already did Smeagol AND Gollum, so it is unlikely they would revist him so soon (if ever).
They already did Shelob.
And yes, they already did the Witch King on the fell beast.
Minas Tirith or the oliphant would be cool, but they would have to be on such a small scale for this gift set and wouldn't be able to have as much detail as I'd like. I prefer these to be done much larger and be limited edition ($200-$300) WETA items instead.
Elessar's crown would be cool.
Sam holding Frodo in his arms or carrying Frodo on his shoulders would be cool (these COULD be done on the same 1/6 scale as the regular statues and fit in a gift set box).
I hope they officially announce the WETA item next month (with pictures)!
My choice for the "gift" in the EE set: - A replica of the ring.
I know it's not very imaginative and there are plenty of rings out there, but it would make a lot of sense.
p.s. I was just thinking of these "gifts" as "prizes", like in cereal boxes. The Lord of the Rings box set with a special "prize" at the bottom of the box.
I've said before that a Minas Tirith sculpture would be great, but the small size would limit the detail. If they do it then I hope it wouldn't preclude a much larger offering of Minas Tirith by WETA. They're doing Moria with the Bridge of Khazadum, Edoras, and Helm's Deep, so one has to believe they'll eventually do Minas Tirith.
If not Minas Tirith, then maybe just the top of Minas Tirith with the Tree of Gondor. Otherwise, there's not much else that would be a suitable icon of the third movie that WETA hasn't already done.
That is amazingly cool of New Line/Sideshow. I didn't buy either of the earlier giftsets, but I'm really itchin' to get this one. Stupid December, being so long away.
Is the companion piece not included? And are they bookends? they both look like they smooth out a bit in the back sides, but not completely. So I'd like to know where exactly I put them on a book case. Torn had these pics up yesterday, but didn't explain a thing about them.
