To celebrate their return to London’s biggest and baddest movie, comic and media convention, Weta Limited are selling 1,200 collectibles from their King Kong range at the bargain price of £1! Sounding a little too good to be true? Well, it isn’t!

Weta Limited will be attending the London MCM Expo on 26-27 May, and for convention attendees only, will be offering 1,200 Kong Fighting V-Rex statues at just £1.That’s right, the first 1,200 punters to approach the Weta stand at the convention and ask for a Kong Fighting V-Rex statue will be promptly sold one on the spot for one golden pound.

This piece usually retails in Weta’s online store for at least £30! Never before has Weta done a giveaway on this scale, (and it is likely that it won’t happen again).

This will also mark the first time that Weta’s pieces from their Hellgate: London and Weta Originals ranges have appeared on European soil, making more reasons than one for those UK collectors to make the MCM London Expo their first port of call next weekend.

Punters are encouraged to come early to ensure they receive their £1 King Kong piece.

New LicenseThe latest edition of the Sideshow newsletter announced a new format of LOTR collectibles: “Next week, you’ll get your first glimpse at the newest LOTR collectible series; The Lord of the Rings Diorama line. Many of the designs for these dioramas have been drawn from the most dynamic and dramatic confrontations in the films, although not all will be so conflict-oriented. The size and scale will vary, as well as the complexity and price, but many will be in approximately 1:9 scale, not unlike the Sideshow/Marvel ‘VS’ line of dioramas.” [Full Details]
