Possible TTT as it's very Rohan-centric so they may want the horse lords represented somehow, plus Theoden is one of the few characters weta haven't revisited yet. A new Gandalf the White would be good, maybe as a classic series. Merry and Pippin on the walls of Isengard mini.

    For ROTK, Gondor must feature strongly - Denethor on throne, maybe even a fountain guard or Gondorian soldier, although Weta seem to be veering away from these type of lone soldier statues. Eowyn and Merry on steed, Sam vs Shelob MC, or maybe that will be a premium statue and we'll get a white tree with fountain guard MC, although that doesn't seem exciting enough. Minas Tirith re-release, Cirith Ungol, some part of Mount Doom - the gates and interior like Kyle's statue maybe, and an elven ship at the Grey Havens harbour as Weta suggested before - can't see a whole environment being done. Maybe Gandalf, Frodo, Bilbo, Elrond and Galadriel getting on the boat as an MC
    Or for the MC, Morgul Lord vs Eowyn. Would work as a premium statue too.
    Aragorn will probably feature somehow too, maybe as a classic series statue so Weta can feed off all the orders they will get as an open edition. Plus Frodo at the crack of doom.
    Good stuff!

    If I had the funds I would have the urge to buy all of that.

      Ya, I can get behind a lot of that.

        I hope they revisit the morgul lord vs. eowyn statues. I really liked the original but would certainly enjoy seeing a new version as things have improved over the years. Perhaps maybe one where he's on his knees with Merry holding his arm, and Eowyn mid pose of taking off her helm before landing her final blow.

          Before talking about TTT and ROTK, I still have a few hopes for FOTR. Specifically, I'm still hoping for a Classic Series Boromir. Ideally, something like him holding the Ring at Caradhras, or even something semi-posed like his stance in Moria just before the doors burst open. I have a feeling we're not going to get a Boromir for FOTR. Which means that either the Fellowship will remain incomplete, or we'll end up with the Osgiliath armor for TTT, which doesn't feel "classic".

          For TTT, I think a Theoden would be nice. He's another character that is due for an update. I'd also love a Dead Marshes statue, with Frodo looking down at the dead bodies in the water.

          For ROTK, I'd love a good Dernhelm statue. I think we might get Dernhelm/Merry on a horse, which would be nice. But personally, I'd love to have a Classic Series Dernhelm. We have a great action pose from Sideshow already, so I'd love a simple, noble pose. It's not in the film, but I'd adore a Classic Series statue of Eowyn in full armor, holding her helmet in one hand, with her other hand resting on the hilt of her sheathed sword. I love the most recent Eowyn statue, and I've love to have a knightly Eowyn Statue next to that mournful Eowyn statue.

          I also think it would be really great if they made the Throne/Chair of Gondor, with two removable figures - Denethor for the smaller chair, and Aragorn for the Throne. It's never shown in the films, but I'd love to have a statue of Aragorn sitting on that throne.

          I've mentioned this in the past, but I'd also love a semi-matching Frodo set. One from the end of FOTR, when Frodo is holding the Ring just before entering the boat, wishing more than anything to be rid of it. And then another statue from the end of ROTK, with Frodo holding the ring at Mount Doom, wishing more than anything to keep it. I think the duality of that piece would be lovely.

          And I also hope that Galadriel's Phial is the first of many more prop replicas. I'd love to see Weta start making more things that actually feel like they came from Middle Earth.

            More environments, please.

            In no particular order:

            Cirith Ungol
            Black Gate
            Lothlorien
            Grey Havens
            Path of the Dead
            Shire Party Tree w/tents
            Bree/Prancing Pony
            Edoras

              Great list! I’d like to add this to FOTR as well.

                That would make a great statue !

                    Yes indeed. If only 10% of what has been suggested will get made during the next 2 years, I'm in serious trouble

                      All great suggestions
                      Also:A mini Treebeard with other Ents mooting or attacking Isengard
                      Mini Moria scene or Osgiliath with Wraith and flying steed
                      And don’t forget bad guys Uruks at Helms deep and orcs, Easterlings attacking Mina’s Tirith. Maybe Aragorn vs beserker. We already have Gimli and Legolas but them counting at Helms deep. Other characters like Elves / Theoden at Helms deep on horse or not
                      Minas Tirith Archers vs Haradrim

                      Nice. Arwen in any outfit! Maybe couch scene, riding outfit or wedding scene

                          Well, since we are creating a wish list:
                          Mount Doom and Barad Dur Environment.
                          I realize that there have been many calls for Minas Tirith but Barad Dur is THE CENTRE of the Evil Power
                          Osgiliath would also be a cool Environment.

                            For RotK, an MC with a Mumakil in it would be a sight to behold.

                              I don't think another Barad Dur will be made soon, but you never know.

                                There already is a Barad Dur and I can’t think of any reason for a new one as it’s already quite large and intricate.

                                  I just posted this idea in the "Ask Daniel Falconer" thread, wondering what others think:

                                  I'm not sure where to make suggestions, but thought this may be a good place to start. Knowing the TT anniversary is coming next year, I've had an idea for a statue from that film. The scene Shadowfax is introduced is easily one of my most memorable. Everything works just perfect, all the way down to the little nod Shadowfax gives Gandalf. I would just LOVE to see this recreated. Gandalf with his hand on Shadowfax, or him bowing would be just amazing. Hope you at least consider it! Thanks!

                                    That would be an immediate purchase from me, almost no matter what the price

                                      That would be epic. But would be way too hard to resist

                                        As exciting as the FOTR anniversary has been, I am actually even more excited for the TT and ROTK anniversaries. I have been going through my collection getting it organized and looking at how I want to display it and one thing is very obvious. The FOTR pieces in my collection total more than the TT and ROTK pieces combined. Collectibles over the years have heavily favored moments from the FOTR and I am very much looking forward to adding pieces from the TT and ROTK to help balance my collection out. Those films have been woefully under represented and it's time to correct that.

                                          A mumakil seems likely. It’s so iconic and it feels like the kind of showstopper that Weta is into making these days. A new Shelob would be pretty cool but not sure what the interest in that would be. Paired up with Sam wise, that might be a spectacular piece.

                                          not sure about TTT. I would like them to take another shot at Treebeard In some capacity since I missed out on him.
