Sideshow/Weta Collectibles has made available for pre-order their series 3 Two Towers Busts. This series features Eomer, Theoden, an Uruk-Hai Swordsman and the Witch-king of Angmar bust. Unlike the FOTR collectibles, these pieces are limited editions. On a personal note, the Theoden bust is probably the best bust sculpt we have seen from these folks, and it is no surprise when you see that Virginia Lee, daughter of Alan Lee, was the sculptor!

John Howe writes: It seems like ages ago that the original of Gandalf the Grey was stolen from an exhibition. I’ve often been asked if I could paint it again, but you can only go once to places like that. However, Gandalf is on his way back. Several months ago I saw a most exquisite one-third scale figure of a pirate who looked like he had just boarded an enemy ship and was really looking forward to business at hand. Not only was the detailing astounding, but the movement and personality were incredibly well captured. The artist sculptor Oscar Nilsson does accept crazy commissions, so while I may never get the Gandalf painting back, I’ll have something perhaps even better. [More]
