Slave Boy Films was at Comic-Con last week and crept into TheOneRing.net’s presentation on an unofficial look at the pair of Hobbit movies. The TORn presentation was Thursday, only hours before Peter Jackson arrived at city of geeks (120,000 strong) who had assembled at San Diego to drink deeply of all the flavors of popular culture. TheOneRing filled every one of the 400 seats in its assigned room with plenty left standing outside in a line but thanks to Slave Boy, the presentation is now available for anybody and everybody.

From Weta News: We are delighted and immensely proud to announce that John Howe, on his first-ever foray into three-dimensional representations of his world renowned Tolkien portfolio, has chosen Weta as his partner. It has long been a dream of John’s to add that extra dimension and together with his friend and Weta Workshop’s Creative Director, Richard Taylor, this idea has been developed over a decade.
Guided by John’s and Richard’s watchful eyes, a series of incredible sculpture has been created by Daniel Cockersell, Brigitte Wuest, Eden Small and the team at Weta Workshop. Cast in very short editions in bronze and in white metal, these fine art pieces will be cherished by discerning collectors the world over. The first two pieces in the range will be on display and available for orders at the Weta booth (#2615) at Comic Con in San Diego, 22-26 July 2009.

The folks at hollywood-collectibles.com sent along a link to their exclusive 1:1 scale replica of Legolas’ bow. From the website: An Elven prince from the forest kingdom of Mirkwood, Legolas Greenleaf joined the Fellowship of the Ring as a representative of his people, vowing to protect Frodo through the power of his mighty bow.
In Lothlorien, Galadriel gave gifts to all the fellowship, including a new bow and arrows to Legolas – his Lothlorien bow. This bow has an ornate Elven leaf pattern which twists around its body, and its string is blessed with a strand of golden hair from Lady Galadriel herself.
We are very proud to present our officially licensed Lothlorien Bow Of Legolas! This amazing replica is molded directly from a screenused Lothlorien bow, and captures all of the intricate detail it possesses.
Measuring an imposing 66” in length, this museum quality piece comes complete with a themed wall display plaque, and is accurate to the finest detail, including the strand of Galadriel’s golden “hair” running through the string! Continue reading “1:1 Scale Legolas’ Bow Available”
