Sideshow Collectibles has started their Comic-Con celebration early with the launch of their month-long Online Comic-Con. Each day they are revealing new products, exclusive discounts, and a slew of contests and giveaways. Today’s super secret product release was the Gandalf Statue, part of their recently launched Lord of the Rings Statue line-up. These statues, like the previous Sideshow/Weta line-up, are made of heavyweight polystone. Unlike the past line-up, the hope is to capture the essence of each character instead of simply capturing a moment from the films. They released Aragorn as Strider a few weeks ago, teased Legolas in a video, and now have made the Gandalf statue fully available for pre-order today. We’ll keep you updated on any other Lord of the Rings related events during their Online Comic-Con. [ Pre-Order Gandalf ]
Linuxelf is back with more video goodies from the history of the LOTR films. Take a look at TTT Oscar Winner videos and ROTK Oscar nomination comments from Peter Jackson and Ngila Dicson!
Sideshow Collectibles has revealed the full product gallery and pricing information for their upcoming ‘Morgul Lord’ Premium Format Figure. The exclusive version of the piece, available only at their website (SideshowCollectibles.com), will include a switch-out flaming sword and begins pre-ordering tonight at approximately 5-6pm ET. There have been quite a few characters in this premium format figure line-up, and some are still available to order. They include Gandalf the Grey (pre-order), Moria Orc (instock) and Galadriel (instock). (psst – If you got one of those $25 TORn Gift Cards the other week, you can use them on the instock items!)
