The WETA Sculpters

[Captain Villa]

Guys, I know wrong section - but hopefully major exposure if you want to join in.

http://www.wetanz-forums.com/chat/index.php

There is a live chat with them right now, if you are interested and I am participating with Brad Goff who worked on them.

Enjoy !

[Compi716]

Cool.

[Captain Villa]

You just missed it, as they are logging off now.

Very interesting.

[Fatboy Roberts]

were you planning on elaborating on the interesting parts? ;)

Thanks for the heads up, though.

[Superman \S/]

Thanks CV.

It's only just finishing....

1) They worked from Stills and have not seen any footage.
2) The edition sizes have been cut , to make them more collectible.
3) They think Brandon looks good !
4) Only pre-orders being taken at present , as they are finalising packaging, delivery costs.
5) Brad Goff is still doing the art for the boxes.

You have to appreciate that I was trying to ask SR questions inbetween LOTR & Narnia fans !

[Fatboy Roberts]

Yeah, that's a tough row to hoe there. Thanks for the re-cap, man. :)

Damn right ! those LOTR & Narnia lot are a rabid bunch !

[Showtime]

Fantastic Villa, good report.

[explode7]

What is this about exactly?

[Showtime]

^About Spiderman 3 being pushed back because of the Superman statues.

[SolidSnakeMGS]

I thought Spider-Man 3 was cancelled, and they're going to skip right to Spider-Man 4.

I thought Spider-Man 3 was cancelled, and they're going to skip right to Spider-Man 4.

Only after they fillm the prequel, Spiderman: Not Yet.

How come all the toys ,action figures and merchandise only featured superman and lex luthor??

Where are the lois lane,jimmy olsen or kitty kosloski action figures???

So disappointing.

[Showtime]

^I hope never!

I know this is sort of a flame worthy remark but....these days kids dont want to play with those characters. Probably a lack of attention span for the youth.

Thanks for the info Villa. So they still don't have a set price for them yet?

I sure could go for a Jimmy, Lois or Perry action figure; that'd be cool!

Maybe the Jimmy toy could come with a mini "snap-shot" camera, that actually flashed and the kid could use, it'd have pre-sorted pics of Superman in action poses. And the picture could go into a little toy Daily Planet newspaper that reads "Superman to the Rescue."

^I hope never!

Why?

A Perry action figure could be awesome and the Lois Lane figure could have an action powered upskirt feature. Just imagine if you got the Kitty/Lois deluxe set...:)

[Captain Villa]

Thanks for the info Villa. So they still don't have a set price for them yet?

Yes, they are priced. They are £195 sterling.

They cant give quotes on shipping yet thpough, as they dont know size and weights of packaging yet.

Oh okay, thank you for that info. How much is 195 sterling in american dollars, do you know? I have no clue myself. Thanks for the info though, I've been looking around forever but couldn't ever find a price for them.:up:

Go there, you can select US$ as the default setting.

Maybe order one too.

[Captain Villa]

The statues are $338 US dollars plus shipping.

[Superman4ever]

The statues are $338 US dollars plus shipping.

Crap that's cheaper than the DCdirect price...I already pre-ordered it, like a month ago! :(

[Metropolis_Man]

Oh, thanks again for the info and finding the price. But I am saddened. I will never be able to afford any of those. :(

what does that mean...edition sizes have been cut? if they're talking about the size of each weta statue, were't they already determined?

[Metropolis_Man]

^Does that also mean we'll get some more affordable prices as well, if they're cut?

[Showtime]

I sure could go for a Jimmy, Lois or Perry action figure; that'd be cool!

Heh Heh!

Whose buying?

[Metropolis_Man]

Whose buying?

Not me..:mad: Sonsa.....

[I am Superman]

Crap that's cheaper than the DCdirect price...I already pre-ordered it, like a month ago! :(

I'm sure that US delivery addresses HAVE to buy through DC as the agent for USA.

[I am Superman]

what does that mean...edition sizes have been cut? if they're talking about the size of each weta statue, were't they already determined?

It means a smaller quantity.

They have knocked about 1000 off each item , with a range of about 1000 to 1500 per design.

Bit silly I think, as they could sell much more than that.

[Captain Villa]

^Does that also mean we'll get some more affordable prices as well, if they're cut?


If anything, they will become more expensive due to less being made !
