\"lotrarwenfigureclrg2\"<\/a>Last night, (in their most recent newsletter) our friends at Weta Workshop released a new collectible that we first saw at Comic-Con 2013.<\/p>\n

This item is the stunning Arwen mini-statue<\/a> from The Return of the King<\/em>. Sculpted by the artists at Weta Workshop, this piece is going to be one you want to add to your collection and for only $75 it’s quite affordable. <\/p>\n

The Arwen mini-statue isn’t the only new item to go up for order, too. If you’d like a great looking bookmark for the next time you read The Lord of the Rings<\/em> or The Hobbit<\/em> then Weta has something for you. From The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey<\/em> Weta has a beautiful red leather bookmark with Thorin and Company<\/a> on it while from The Lord of the Rings<\/em> you have The Fellowship<\/a> worked in stunning brown leather. These two bookmarks can be had for $10 a-piece and are in-stock and ready to ship.<\/p>\n

As many of you know Weta comes every year to the United States during the month of July for Comic-Con in San Diego. Now the Workshop will attend its second U.S. show, this one in Salt Lake City, where TheOneRing.net will also be!<\/strong> Sept. 5 – 7 is the first ever Salt Lake Comic Con<\/a>. TORn will present a panel about “The Desolation of Smaug,” and will also participate on other panels and host a booth during the event. If you happen to be planning on attending Salt Lake Comic-Con or can get there from the surrounding western states, this is a chance to go to a show that isn’t<\/em> sold out and where you can<\/em> get a hotel room. Salt Lake has a rail line as well so you can stay immediately by the convention or in one of the suburbs and still travel relatively easily to the event. Weta will be attending this show in September with its booth, which looks significant on the retailer map<\/a>. (Although they are listed as Weta Digital, we think an error.) If you haven’t gotten your ticket to the show yet then now is the time. Salt Lake Comic-Con runs from Thursday, September 5th through to Saturday, September 7th.<\/p>\n
