It’s not very often that the statue of the year comes out so early in the year leaving all the rest to settle for the number two spot. But that is what has happened this year with the arrival last month of the Azog the Defiler on Warg by Weta Workshop. We got our first look at this beast of a statue during Comic-Con 2013.

One of the most beautiful pieces at Comic-Con 2013 came to us from our friends at Weta Workshop.

The character that Weta created that mixes all of these together is the King of the Mirkwood Elves Thranduil.
