I think the more elaborate pieces by Weta are very well designed and clever. This one is at the same time simple and original and somehow fascinating. The sculpt also is excellent for how small the figurines are. Nice video as always.
I pre-ordered these from WETA and never heard anything for months only to hear that my order had accidentally been canceled unbeknownst to me. They apologized but said they were unfortunately out of pieces. Was super bummed as I was very excited about this but I'm glad it turned out so well for you
This is such a creative design! I absolutely love the creativity of positioning them up and down. It just makes it worth so much for how much thought was put into the design
@@jaxonsmith3633 Can't wait! it was an instant pre-order. Yeah UC is sort of running out of ideas for new pieces but I'm glad they decided to do it anyway.
Very Neat! I always enjoy watching your presentations (The pipes are very neat!). Smeagol looks great, So It has a magnet? Sweet!, a nice feature. Soon for 1st time, I will finally receive a Weta sculpture, can't wait!
hmm hadn't considered that but your right! They aren't the heaviest thing BUT if your book case was metal then they would instantly become stronger. They actually do hold themselves on my refrigerator .
I was not sure and could not justify the price but after many reviews and your video I am convinced and ordered it for 290€ which is ok and I think it will become a very desirable piece later.Thanks for the review my friend.
I honestly love this line of WETAs statues. But I do wonder why WETA couldn't polish them just that little bit more by putting a drop of glaze in his 👀, to make them look "Wet"/alive..I'll be doing this as soon as he arrives. Iron studios do a great job of this, and it makes these little guys look soooo much better. Awesome video as usual!.
yeah the glaze eyes isn't something Weta has ever done to my knowledge at least. I hear ya though it might make it pop. I've done it to a few statues I've painted and always liked it. Thank you for watching!
Once again, another great unboxing! However, I am curious to know your opinion on Weta's new Gil-Galad 1:6 piece. I can recall seeing a Gil-Galad by Sideshow Weta, however, only as a mini bust! Now, we finally have a complete, full-body version - something I think the majority of collectors are happy for. Is this something you will be pre-ordering, Ryan?
Hi there, so honestly I'm really excited about Gil-Galad though not excited about the price. $699 is A LOT for 1/6 but I did pre-order it, though I only did so because I had about 300 weta dollars saved up.
@@thecyberhobbit Yeah, I 100% agree with you, Ryan. I remember the days when Weta's 1:6 statues, were $279 - $300. Moreover, I understand we live in different times now, with increased production costs etc. But on another note, I don't think this is the worst one. If you compare it to the Balrog - Demon of Shadow and Flame by Weta, which had a pricetag of $649, this is about the same height as that piece. Of course, it is not as wide, nor as deep. It is also worth mentioning that the piece gains height presence due to the long spear. Honestly, perhaps I am wrong after all.
Finally, just finished Zelda 😂 Great miniature👌 can't complain with this one or two...I really like the sculp for a miniature they getting better in quality.
@@thecyberhobbit Yes, this sword is very nice. Even though I don't have a collection like yours, I enjoy glamdring and herugrim the most in mine collection😅
hello! 😁Well this version is sold out, but you can still buy the solo version of only Gollum. I just added a link in the description to where you can buy it, they ship around the world. I think if I post it in the comments it gets marked as spam.
Never change your format. It's perfect.
Thank you sir!

yeah given how many statues of Gollum they've done, I think this was definitely clever and a unique way to release a new one.
I pre-ordered these from WETA and never heard anything for months only to hear that my order had accidentally been canceled unbeknownst to me. They apologized but said they were unfortunately out of pieces. Was super bummed as I was very excited about this but I'm glad it turned out so well for you
You forgot to pose this Gollum beside Gandalf mini statue, Gimli and Radagast in order to see all the proportions together.
ha... well I actually did film that, but when editing realized it was all out of focus and then admittedly was too lazy to go back and re-film 😆
This is such a creative design! I absolutely love the creativity of positioning them up and down. It just makes it worth so much for how much thought was put into the design
Agreed! Very few statues can be wall mounted.
What’re your thoughts on the Sword of Faramir that’s coming out? I’ve never really paid attention to it in the movies so I was surprised to see it

Awesome video mate, they would make fantastic book ends with the flat backs
hmm hadn't considered that but your right! They aren't the heaviest thing BUT if your book case was metal then they would instantly become stronger. They actually do hold themselves on my refrigerator .
Sméagol looks so cute! 🤭
The detail is amazing 👍🔥
Awesome video bud, they are both really magnificent. Likeness is pretty much spot on yes. Cheers
Thanks for watching man!
Can't wait for mine. Thank you.
You will love it, appreciate you watching 😁

Thank you for watching I appreciate the comment!
Great video! I’m excited for mine to arrive.
Thank you for watching!
Great statue
The 120$ price is not bad
Love it❤
I think the whole package cost more🤔 120$ is for the "gollum guide to mordor"
Thanks for watching!
This statue looks great! What scale would you say these miniature figures would be? Like 1/10 or 1/12?
not all miniatures are the same size (fellbeast and balrog for example), but there are many that are 1/10. This Gollum/Smeagol is 1/10.

Hi- very nice collection ! And beautifully made videos with the pleasure of ladies subscription - I send greetings from the Czech Republic - Micky🤘🏻
Thanks for watching Micky! 🤘
Finally, just finished Zelda 😂 Great miniature👌 can't complain with this one or two...I really like the sculp for a miniature they getting better in quality.
yeah I think doing things digitally is starting to pay off.
Yooo new vid soon
Hopefully within the next week, I've been working on a pretty big LOTR 3d printing video
What is your favourite sword in your collection???
I'm a big fan of Eowyn's sword, I really like the gold/black/brown combination.
@@thecyberhobbit Yes, this sword is very nice. Even though I don't have a collection like yours, I enjoy glamdring and herugrim the most in mine collection😅
What are your top 3 swords in your collection? (lotr/hobbit)
Sword of Eowyn, Glamdring and Anduril
Where can you buy such things? And is shipping to Germany possible?
Greetings

This really looks like Gollum from the movies; unlike the video game... (I guess I was completely wrong on this one !)
haha yeah I didn't even try the Gollum game, looked horrible. Thanks for watching
