This piece is simply STUNNING. I don't think I have any choice but to go for it. I have GoCart and EOTR. The Dead Marshes is a perfect third piece depicting Frodo, Sam, and the journey of the One Ring.
It is just exceeding all of my expectations! I had the same thought like you what it would may look like …. but this is just sooo much more than anything I have imagined! And calling it “extremely limited” makes me really worry not even to have the chance of buying one (although I do not even got the money right now, I guess). This is definitely the best statue / diorama I have ever seen and the first statue (besides the upcoming Prime1 statue) where they managed to create a really well sculpted Frodo / Elijah.
Indeed matey!! It’s just exceptional!! I’ve no idea what the edition may be? Maybe 100?? Maybe more?? I honestly don’t know?… great to hear from you buddy 👍🏻
@@floo2251 wow!! So, it’s going to be the fastest fingers on the PO button on the day then matey? Really appreciate you watching and supporting the channel dude - thank you 👍🏻
Hey mate - it says ‘extremely limited’ so I’m guessing it’ll have maybe 100 - 200 edition size?? There won’t be many, anyway matey. Cheers for the comment dude 👍🏻
What a beautiful piece of art! What a diorama that tells a story! Definitely a standalone piece nevertheless for any LOR fans out there! Simply WOW! words simply fail me in describing how awesome this piece is!
Hey matey - it’s incredible!! I’m just thinking now about the complexity of it and how it will fare shipping etc? I’m sure Weta will have engineered it with that in mind! But this just looks unlike anything I’ve seen before (barring the OG Gallevarbe piece from Sideshow). Good to hear from you dude! 👍🏻
@@hauntofthecollector I have preoredered P1 Gollum and Frodo piece and I am not sure if this will pair well the P1 piece given the scale difference! Decisions decisions decisions lol
@@ShadowMosesForEver is have them displayed together (P1 & Weta) & it looks okay if you think about what your displaying? I have Bilbo displayed under the GvB dio - so 1:6 with a ‘no scale’ looks okay! 👍🏻 The EotR is now displayed upstairs with a 1:1 bust, and looks sound to me. Great to hear from you matey 👍🏻
Jase! I always wondered what your name was! Turned on closed captioning to make sure I got it right (I hope I did). Wow! You know the SECOND I saw the statue in Weta's video I said to myself, "I gotta send a message to Haunt of the collector!!!!" Wow! What an amazing piece! But can you imagine putting that statue together? Their master collection statues are stunning. I still marvel at their Treebeard assembly video. I typically don't collect 1/6 statues but Weta makes it darn hard to turn your back on their LotR line. At present I'm in love with their Classics line; very much looking forward to Aragorn. Anyway, I'm going to stop typing and actually finish watching your video. I was just so excited to discuss this piece.
Ah mate!! I’m blown away by it!! Such an awesome concept and they’ve executed it perfectly! Well done to Weta! 👍🏻 Yes, it’s Jase (or Ja), you got it right matey 😁👍🏻
I also definitely prefer 1/4 scale but Weta always knocks it out of the park. Their environmental pieces and dioramas are the best in the business. So while I’m getting every single Prime 1 LOTR piece, I’m also getting most if not all Weta 1/6 pieces as well. Best of both worlds.
Hey buddy - yeah, you’ve hit the nail on the head there, I reckon? It’s just I’ve never known so much choice and amazing pieces within the LotR line? Good to hear from you dude 👍🏻
Yeah this piece is incredible!!! I understand why some collectors like to stick to one scale. But for me I don't like doing that. If I did that I would miss out on so many pieces that I absolutely love. Like you said in previous videos, you really need to collect what you like. And that's how I collect, I don't stick to a particular scale, just get the things I love. And I'm happy doing that. That being said, I hope you follow your heart on this one haha. Cheers!
@@kylejohnson1481 yes mate, they’ve just gone up two notches at least in concept, production and artistic direction, in my opinion, these last couple of years! Good on them! 👍🏻
Hey matey - I’m liking the size as it’s an upright piece, which I feel makes it easier to display (or at least, find display space for?)…. Just the piece now.? 😁 Great to hear from you matey 👍🏻
Awesome piece. Best diorama for sure, not best Weta piece imo. It’s immensely complex and great amount of detail. Only thing I would ask Weta to change is to add clear resin for the bottom. That would look phenomenal. Also, it looks very fragile and therefore could potentially be a nightmare for Weta in terms of dealing with statues arriving broken and/or non fitting pieces. God knows we’ve had our fair share of those in the recent past
Hey matey - in all fairness I thought the Escape off the Road would have issues packaging and shipping etc as it also looked fragile, but it’s a solid piece and they managed to ship it in one box! So, I think that Weta have really mastered that side of the process also? I agree, however, that this does look very delicate! Great to hear from you dude 👍🏻
@@hauntofthecollector Yes that's true but Weta has the ideas that others don't have,they almost just copy,at least so far that's often been the case.I also own the P1 Sauron and Gandalf vs Balrog but that's probably about it.I'm curious to see what Weta will charge,I hope they won't be too greedy,many collectors don't have the money to spend anymore so much money.Thanks Putin.
@@ahapalbin5349 hmmm, I have to say I think this piece will be pricey? I can’t see it being less than the Escape off the Road Dio? (Which was £1700!!)… but, I guess we shall see? 👍🏻
@@hauntofthecollector I agree. I am just like you in wanting to purchase just the larger scale, but I can't pass up these amazing masters collection pieces. They truly are masterpieces.
Hey buddy - yeah, cheers matey… my decision was based around display space as well… but as this is an upright piece, I think I can easily find display space for this? Really appreciate you commenting matey 👍🏻
Hi mate! This piece is just brutal! The sculpt, paint, light up feature and the whole statue is just wow! But it will be too expensive for me 😅 Anyway, I just preordered the Smaug statue, so I can not wait for him! I will be interested, what Weta is going ti show us next week. Have a nice weekend!
Ahh mate that Smaug piece is just top notch!!! So, you’re going to have an awesome piece regardless of passing on this dude! Great to hear from matey 👍🏻
This piece is one of there best pieces they have ever done I think. It looks like it comes in under 24 inches tall and is not that wide or deep looks around 12 inches each way so I can see this piece being less than the road piece I’m thinking $1500.00 to 2000.00. Dollars. There are 2 problems with this piece first weta was never that good at head sculpts although I think Frodo looks pretty good unfortunately sams does not but the bigger problem to me is getting this in without any breakages looks very delicate everywhere.
Hey there cheers for the comment matey 👍🏻 Yeah, I’ve got Escape off the Road & Bilbo in Bag End and some of the face sculpts are somewhat ‘iffy’!! However, funnily enough, the head sculpts on the Hobbits on the EotR piece all look pretty spot on to me? Cheers again dude for your input on this awesome piece! 😁👍🏻
😂😂 come on.....we all do it (albeit, not on camera in front of millions 😉) - we all make declarations that we end up going back on. You clearly love the piece, so who would hold it against you if you bought it? I'm looking forward to the unboxing 😂😂
It does look a bit good (understatement of the year). But having said that, it won't be for me. I already have two MC pieces which are enough for me. Plus it looks super complex which always starts alarm bells ringing regarding potential QC issues. Love to be proved wrong though for all who will order it. I think you should stuff your 1/6 scale non collect anymore rule. Hell, if you love it, then buy it. Best not to have regrets.
Hey matey, yeah now I’m ‘calmer’ after the initial amazement of this piece, I’m also now thinking about how delicate this piece could well be? I e had zero issues with anything from Weta as yet, but there’s always this consideration? Great to hear from you matey 👍🏻
When I heard the TTT MC was going to be the Dead Marshes I thought I might be able to pass. However, now that I have seen the job Weta have made of it, I love it. If it's not too expensive I would love to add it to my collection.
@@hauntofthecollector It's an easier love for this piece for me as most of my LOTR collection are 1/6 scale, so that wasn't an issue for me. Before I saw what Weta had done my main issue was I could not see, from the tease image, how they would be able to pull it off to my liking...how wrong was I! 😂
@@johnmclain5899 just watched it matey - visually, it looks incredible!! But, I’m still concerned that Amazon have strayed too far from the storyline of the Silmarillion? Time will tell on that & I’ll be watching it regardless!! Does look good though dude 👍🏻
@@hauntofthecollector looking at it again I am really impressed with this piece of art. It will be in high demand. A definite preorder. I don't care about the price.
As the Masters Collection is something different than regular 1:6, I think you can get away with it by just going for it :D. I'm probably skipping this one, mostly due to price. But I love the statue!
They have dude!! Damn them!! 😆 I suppose now it’s a case of me being quick enough to get a PO in before they’re all snapped up? I think there shall be a lot of interest in this piece matey? Great to hear from you dude 👍🏻
I think it's a masterfully done sculpture...I wouldn't say it's my favourite WETA piece, but it is definitely their most complex, daring and ambitious. However, I don't collect this type of pieces, so it is a pass from me.
Hey matey! It should be for me?? As I told myself I’m not collecting 1:6 anymore…. BUT!! The hypocrite that I clearly am, I just don’t know if I can pass on this dude??… Cheers for the comment matey! 👍🏻
I will never understand why peoples want to stick to one scale. I collect every scale no matter if it's 1/10 or 1/3. Just collect what makes you happy. For the piece itself, it looks awesome but I'm not a big fan of wetas likenesses.
Hey dude - I’ve not seen these? But, sure, like all statue companies, they can occasionally fail?… but this concept and reveal!… well, just looks astounding to me! Cheers as always dude 👍🏻
Came back to watch this again. I truly appreciate your enthusiasm for collecting and our beloved LOTR fandom.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate all the support and kind words I get from you guys! 😁👍🏻
The statue is definitely stunning!!! I went ahead and preordered it today. I own Escape off the Road and this will look great alongside it. Cheers!
Ah fair play matey!! Congrats on the PO! Yeah, likewise, I also have the EotR piece, but I feel this piece is just on another level even to that! 👍🏻
